Warrior Alpha 14” Pro Stock Drew Doughty Gloves

[Warrior Alpha 14” Pro Stock Drew Doughty Gloves]

Purchased new from the Kings organization at an equipment sale and used by me for about 8-10 skates. Amazing, light gloves in great shape built to Doughty’s personal specs including digital palms. Nothing “wrong” with them except for some palm wear and a small gap of fabric on the cuff roll (see pic) which was there when I bought them - just trying to clear out my closet so I’ve decided to make these available. He wore these exact same gloves during the 2018-2019 season.  

Looking for $125 shipped to the conUSA, I do shipping to Canada but I would have to charge for that.

[Are TRUE shafts and blades being discontinued?]

The toe of my almost new True 6.0 blade chipped and is starting to split after very little use... maybe 3-4 shinny sessions. I tape over the end of the blade to protect it. I don’t remember anything happening that should have damaged the blade that way (though you can never know for sure). 
 

I’m afraid that the durability of the blade looks like it’s going to be garbage. I wouldn’t buy another True blade.  

Exact reason I stopped buying any True OPS... though I have heard they have improved a lot in terms of blade durability.  I switched to a Vapor 1X Lite last year and  have stuck with that and now the Vapor FlyLite since and the TeXtreme construction of their blades has been excellent.  I have played a ton with the 1X and the blade has no chips or anything, it’s been great.  

[Are TRUE shafts and blades being discontinued?]

I broke so many True tapered blades that I finally stopped using them... kept breaking them at the hosel and it was clear there was some kind of design defect with them.  I switched to the Warrior tapered blades and was off and running.  I agree with what you said about the True shafts though, they are excellent.  Too bad all the tapered stuff is no longer made by them or Warrior anymore.  

[Did Bauer do away with the custom colors on helmets?]

I was looking to order a one-off custom Re-Akt 200 but it looks like the custom builder is no longer on Monkey, Pure, IW, etc.  Anyone know if they don’t allow it anymore?  I’m assuming they took it away but just wanted to be sure.

Wish they still did a tapered shaft.

I have a few used ones (85, 95 flex) and tapered RH Warrior blades I am willing to part with if anyone is interested.

[Best tape/grip for digital palms?]

Just an update, below is a pic of my palm after 6 skates using digital/lizard skin 0.5mm:

Not too bad, very minimal wear in the actual material... mostly cosmetic discoloration.  

[Best tape/grip for digital palms?]

I ended up sticking with Lizard Skin (bought a couple new rolls).  Skated with the gloves for a pickup, so far so good.  I’ll update the thread with a pic after a few more skates with them.

Thanks for the responses, guys!  

 

[Best tape/grip for digital palms?]

Hey everyone, I just got a pair of new CCM Landeskog pro returns that have digital.  I have never used digital palms before and I want these to last.  I usually use LizardSkin for my grips but I tend to go through them fairly fast and at $10 a pop, I have been leaning toward going back to tape.  Anyone have any recommendations as it pertains to what works best on digital palms?

Thanks!

Dwayne Johnson is a nice touch. Does he make it to every game?

Of course he does, he knows where his priorities lie.

Possibly the most awesome Unis I've seen. There was a team in this years Bangkok Tourney that wore the Old School Kings Jerseys but with The Crown, they were The Ramas which is Thai for King!. Really like these!

Thanks man!  Much appreciated 🙂

A couple shots from our tournament in Vegas two weekends ago... the Knights practice facility is awesome.  We lost 2-1 in OT in the championship game but still had a great time.

Team pic.  The majority of us have been playing together since we were 14 years old... we are all in our 40's now.  Team name is Hammer Team, in memory of our friend (last name was Hammer) who passed away in 2012 from cancer.  He loved Crown Royale, so their logo is represented in our logo 🙂

[True A6.0sbp Tapered Shafts (75, 85, 95) ALL SOLD]

All shafts sold, sorry for any confusion.

[True A6.0sbp Tapered Shafts (75, 85, 95) ALL SOLD]

85 sold. 

[True A6.0sbp Tapered Shafts (75, 85, 95) ALL SOLD]

Selling these because I bought a bunch since True stopped making them this year and realized I probably won't go through them all anytime soon.

The 75 and one of the 95's were both used once and are uncut (55.5") and end plug is included - asking for $80 each shipped to the US - SOLD

The other 95 is a little more worn and uncut, end plug is included - asking for $70 shipped to the US - SOLD

*The 85 has been used for a few games and pickups and is cut to 53.5", end plug included - asking for $55 shipped to the US - 85 HAS BEEN SOLD!***

I had lizard skin on all of the grips so there is some residue on them but it can be removed if you have the time and patience to do it (I clearly don't 😉

On the topic of socks in conjunction with True skates, I tried a pair of Copper Fit compression socks and believe it or not, they felt great, better than any sock I had used and I have tried a lot of socks.  I ended up buying 2 more pairs.  I used Swiftwick for a while not too long ago but eventually they made my calves itch (weird I know).  If I can’t use the Copper Fit pairs because they are dirty, my fallback are Under Armour skate socks.

Got it.  Thanks guys.

Anyone know what model CCM glove Marchessault is wearing?  Those are crazy.

[VH Footwear/TRUE by Scott Van Horne]

Not trying to be a dick, but when I saw “shot blockers” listed as one of the options when I was getting fitted, I assumed that would definitely add extra bulkiness and weight to the boot.  I didn’t even bother asking the guy doing the scan because I figured I already knew the answer.  But yes, going forward it would be smart if the LHS or True put some kind of disclaimer on the order form just to cover their asses.
