Exactly right. If fit correctly, they don't move.

While the GE is now open to guests to browse, it does not mean that you can post in this thread that you have a listing there. Thanks for the fit comparison.

I've been looking for a stopgap as I'm about to send my Jofas off for repairs. I wear a M in Jofa - what is the SYN 700 equivalent size?

Nothing pro stock about that blade. That was a retail, and the lowest one at that - simple glass wrap, hickory hosel. I seem to recall they made them for Nike. The Ignite 1 blade was the TPS XX blade with a Swoosh on it - I loved that blade and stocked up on them right before I submitted my first pattern to TPS and got it with my pattern.

Exactly right - which makes the stick really versatile with any type of shot. That's the same thing I've discovered.

Thought it was known at this point that Advanced didn't mean the cuff...

Or you can take off that pad and call them Advanced!

I bet you were grinding your feet on their couch. I could totally see you doing that.

Copy the one with the IMG tags in Photobucket and just throw it in the post

I had been LTRing the RE-AKT helmet over here - http://www.modsquadh...-re-akt-helmet/ and decided to wrap it up. For tear-down pictures, see the Teardown thread - http://www.modsquadh...oughtsteardown/ Length of use - 2 months Fit - Very good, for my head. Absolutely zero pressure points anywhere on the helmet, at any time during the review process. Very good feel around the temples/sides due to the block of PoronXRD padding there. Gives you the feeling of a well-fitting helmet without the bulk associated with other helmets. 10/10 Protection - New technologies, new foam, new concept. Unfortunately, there's no way for me to prove/disprove that it does as advertised. N/A Weight - Lighter - not Easton E700 weight (Bauer RE-AKT came in at 484g compared to Easton's 355g) but lighter than most out there. 9.5/10 Durability - No issues with any moving parts (size and occipital adjustment) or anything structural, however, did have an issue with one of the helmet screw pads. One of them decided to break free and spin. The procedure is to cut through the pad and use a pair of pliers to hold it in place so that you can take out the screw, which renders the screw pad useless after that. I was sent replacement pads and was told that the production model will have the updated ones, which will be stainless steel anchors. 8/10 Intangibles - The biggest test for me with the helmet was how it handled sweat, and I'll tell you that it passed that test. Ventilation also is good in it, on par with helmets on the market. A bit of bleed from the Vertex foam onto the back of the Suspend-Tech liner, but that is just cosmetic. 9/10 Conclusion - One of the things that it really has going for it is how much was taken out of the helmet and with what it was replaced with. It truly gives you a streamlined-looking helmet, however, with substance. The price may scare off a few potential buyers, but Bauer and other manufacturers with "ultra-premium" helmets realize that awareness and education is what is going to turn the tide to get players to invest more in headgear. Final score - 46/50 = 9.2 Thanks goes out to CJ Ficek, Helmet Product Manager at Bauer Hockey, who made it possible for me to test the product early.

So you know this topic has been covered before, but you make your own thread instead of adding to the existing topic...

What is this, account #3 for you? Must admit, most trollers give up after account #2.

No, I'd rather not. I'd hate to think that what I do on here is seen as "marketing." There's nothing wrong with the "specialized" sticks on the market. Some of my favorite sticks are those that are tailored to the way I shoot/play.
