    oooh very nice mickz :) how do the TO gloves compare to the One95 in terms of fit?

    The TO are not as tight fitting as the ONE90/95 gloves. I'd say it's somewhere in between a XXXX and the previous two gens of Supremes.

    With the ONE90/95 I always had this uncomfortable scratch along my knuckles every time I opened and closed my hand. I don't get this with the TO and it is amazingly comfortable throughout the fingers and fingertips. I generally prefer gloves with traditional backrolls like the Franchise and CP94 (with the XXXX Pro being the only exception) and I'm just going to give these some time.

    I didn't like the TO stick either when I first got it but after using it for a few ice times it's the most used stick in my arsenal right now.

    soft grip? any different to the normal grip? nice choice's exactly the same as i would've done, down to the number :tongue:

    It feels a lot like the soft grip that you'd find on pro stock Warriors. It's not textured like Nipple Grip, rough like Polar Fibre or overly tacky like the older Easton OPS.

    Don't have any pics yet, but i hit up the Leafs equipment sale today. Very few people in line to start, (25ish). Someone immediately snapped up the one pair of Franchises (kabby). They had what were likely the last gloves Kessel wore as a Bruin (black 4 rolls) for $200. Had tons of new pro sticks from a bunch of guys, but minimum you were looking at $175 for anything new. Bunch of used Marlies sticks for $50-75. Helmets, skates, pants, socks, the usual fare.

    Disappointed with the remaining glove selection, I picked up a Kessel X:60. Paid for it, was wandering around the main store (separate from where all the equipment was) for a bit when I happened to find a pair of Christian Hansons franchises. A little bigger than I'm used to, but I had to have them. Luckily, I was able to return the stick and pick up the gloves.

    Went to the Jays game, left early because they were getting smoked, figured I'd see if they dropped the price on any of the gear. They had, anything with a certain tag was negotiable. I managed to pick up a U+ CL (pretty sure it's a repainted 10k) for $35. Could have probably had some One90 skates for like $30 but I didn't really have a need for them.

    Didn't the Leafs JUST have an equipment sale? I remember they had one when I was in the center of the universe a few months ago.

    Indeed i am.. Are you the guy i bought them from?? That would be some coincidence.

    Nope. Sorta recognized the tag from the jersey you bought. Did you get the pants from Sports Junkies? I was contemplating buying those for the uppers since I found another pair of TB Lightning Lowers but ended up passing since it was more of a want than a need.

    Looking good. What was the turnaround time?

    6 weeks.

    On another note the palms aren't too bad after one ice time. They've soften up a bit and they're not rubbing on my fingers as much inside. I had to tape my fingers with sock tape at the pressure points so I wouldn't get a blister or a rash. I'm just guessing I need to break them in more.

    After several weeks of waiting my CP94s are finally here!

    The only thing I'm disappointed in is I had requested there to be no Eagle branding on the lowest cuff, if possible. After seeing other member's customs with the option of leaving it out I assumed it was doable, guess it didn't work out for me. Otherwise the gloves fit great so far, can't wait to use them tomorrow.

    Funny you should ask about CP94 gloves. I had a request for CP94 gloves this week. Here is Eagle's answer:

    "With regards to these gloves that your customer is looking for, the model has actually been discontinued. Unfortunately, we will not even do this as a custom order. I apologize for the inconvenience.

    You can let him know that these gloves were actually a Sr. 14” model (by our guidelines). It was never offered in a 13”, and we do not have the patterns necessary to produce these."

    Eagle is referring to the CP94 gloves on EWH.com. They are advertised as 13", but I guess, they're not!

    I ordered a pair of CP94's labeled as X72s at the end of May and the Eagle rep said they were doable. I'm not sure the reasons why but the shop I ordered through told me I could only get PPF or X72 branding on my gloves and not CP94. I was quoted a 6-8 week turnaround so we'll wait and see what they send me.

    Edit: Actually just got a call back from the shop and my gloves are ready to go. Will post pics as soon as I pick them up!

    sorry for the dumb question, but what are digital palms? what are the advantages/disadvantages? and what kind of material are they made from?

    Digital is a performance palm. It's what the palms of some golf gloves are made of. It's very thin which offers a superb feel but because of this it rips quicker than other palms.
