I have not. I still have 2 pairs of Shift 2s and 4 pairs of Verberos. Seems like Verberos don't get alot of love, but it's very stiff and very moldable. There are a few guys here that have gone from Kor to Makos to VH/True. Maybe they can chime in or PM you.
Works fine, actually less hot than the Reebok padded shirt I used to wear. Not quite sure on the protection level, but I've never worn legit shoulder pads to begin with.
I don't know yet as the rinks are having soft openings today in my area. The T-flexes are a little stiffer than my preference, but I always wanted these shafts.
But wouldn't a longer hosel move the kick point higher versus a shorter hosel? The blade and hosel shouldn't be flexing or torquing, only the shaft.
Anyone know how long those Hoapa Sr shafts are? I tried asking on the chat, but no response even after leaving an email address to send me answers. Sorry for adding to the deterrence of this thread into a Hoapa thread.
I ordered one of these to try out. The small gaps and holes in the padding may provide more ventilation than my padded shirt that I currently wear. For $65 after shipping it's worth a shot.
After taking a long break from hockey (over a year), I had to rebake my skates for them to be comfortable again. Maybe try that before making a big investment?
This is a bit off topic, but what current Warrior stick would have the closest flex profile to a Warrior DT2? I know it was part of the Covert line, but now there are Covert, Saber, Quick Strike...just too many buzz words floating around.
