Datsyukiandeek 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2006 Just noticed on my new gloves (Vaper XXXs) that on one cuff it says Pro Model. Really didn't take notice when I bought them two weeks ago :lol: Does this mean that they are pro stock or is it a marketing ploy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duch 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2006 I know with skates only CCM/Jofa/RBK and Graf give you the same skate the pros wear on their top end models. With gloves and other equipment I'm not sure. I know when you bought Jofa and they had the Centre Ice symbol it meant it was what the pros used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyukiandeek 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2006 Yeah I didn't get a second pair of palms.. I bought them from Perani's in Taylor and none of their gloves had extra palms. They probably cut them off and resell them as replacements :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted December 16, 2006 i think that the older XXXs came with the extra palms and the newer ones do not. So older stock still being sold is going to come with extra palms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chilaxin12 2 Report post Posted December 16, 2006 First edition XXXs (05) came with an extra set. 06 and NBH versions do not.I don't know why they did this, I had first run vapor XXX's that came with the extra palms and I never got a hole in them after a year of use, my buddy got the NBH vapor XXX's and after 2 months he had a slight hole in the palm and we play on the same team and use our stuff the same amount I just think its to make you buy a new pair rather than get them repalmed.

I know when you bought Jofa and they had the Centre Ice symbol it meant it was what the pros used.I do not know were you got this information, it does not align from what I know, but I can assure you that at NBH, 75+% of pro custom orders are what is on the shelf at retail, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
