Warrior QRL 13

Warrior QRL Custom finally arrived after 8 weeks. Warrior orange came out a little more red than I was anticipating but overall very happy with them!

My kid is on his second pair of Mako's and never has an issue. He does have Powerfoot insert and stock insert. He does skip the top set of eyelet, and ties his skate snug, not tight. Or more like slightly looser at bottom eyelets and snug at the 2nd -3rd set...

My 11yo peewee son loves his Powerfoot in his Mako M8's. As mentioned above, Adrenaline Design has some of the best customer service I've ever seen, in any industry, and seriously, for $20 or so, why not give it a shot!? During practice yesterday, they were doing lots of corner battle drills and my son is already one of the best player on the team at protecting the puck and battling along the boards. A coach for the bantams, who hasn't seen him play lately, watched him winning just about every 50/50 and hanging on the puck, came up to me and complimented how nicely he's coming along... Ever since he's been wearing his Powerfoot inserts, I've noticed my kid's skating has improved so much along with his new Mako's. My kid tells me that he feels more in touch with the ice and his crossovers, edges & crosby's are stronger than ever. Very happy with my purchase of the Powerfoot and I'll be getting a pair for myself soon!

So it's safe to use the Sweet Stick on FBV to extend time between sharpening? I've been reluctant to use the Sweet Stick on my FBV 100/50...

The bars on the Re-Akt cage do seem a tiny bit thicker/rounder than the 9900's. The overall cage design is different. Re-Akt cage is longer, maybe a bit narrower and the bar placement are slightly different, the color is also more of a matte finish and slightly 'darker' or less silver-ish, but I haven't noticed anything negative on the ice, just lighter, with a better chin cup.

Scored a brand new Medium Re-Akt Cage (160g) on ebay for $47 shipped. Paired it with my Medium S19 and total weight is 472g... Gave my old 9900 medium cage (224g) to my son and he pairs it with a Small 11k and the weight of the combo is 704g. This is possibly the lightest cage/helmet combo money can buy...

Only midget AAA gets to wear the forum blue and gold IIRC, all the other Jr Kings wear the current jersey.

Product: 13 inch NBH One90 Glove User Background: Beer League Center/Left wing. 2-3 times per week. The One90's are replacing my Easton S9s. Fit: 9/10 I've pretty much always been an Easton glove guy, and now my 3rd and latest pair being S9s. The last pair of Bauer I had (Vapor 4 or 5, not sure) I hated. Tried the One90s at LHS and remembered how snugged they were (as compared to S9s, One90s are a much 'tighter' fit while S9s now seem super loose) The fingers are more flexible and separated than any other gloves I've ever tried on. You can really stretch your palm open and your fingers can move freely. The cuffs do kinda flair out a little but I don't find it obstructive at all. Fingers seem to be longer than the S9s (which are on the shorter side IIRC?) and overall really hugs to your hands. I do find that little piece of Dri-fit or whatever it is NBH tucked into the gloves, a bit annoying and I might just cut that out, not sure yet. So if you like tighter gloves, you should try on the One90s. Weight: 10/10 Very close to the S9s. Both are obviously light enough for me and the drying time of the One90s is good. Hopefully they don't get smelly like the S9s (Bio-dri liner helped little I think). Protection: 10/10 My league has a bunch of pretty good guys and they're all respectful therefore it's not as chippy as some other leagues. I would presume the One90s are well adequate for beer league play. Durability: 10/10 I need more time to really test ONe90s durability. But they seem to be built solid. Intangibles: 10/10 So far, the One90s are light, snug, protective and offer very good feel of the stick. These gloves needed literally zero break-in time for me and I'm very impressed with the overall design and functionality. Overall: 9.5/10 I thought these were too funky looking at first but right after I slid my hands in, I was hooked. Glad I made the switch (S9s served me very well and technically I didn't need new gloves, but I got the One90s for $50 NWOT on ebay so it's all good) and hopefully these hold up. But I would definitely recommend these for players looking for a tighter fit gloves.
