blocker?

[its the life 0]

im looking for a new blocker. really considering the vapor xxx. anybody tried it? anyone have a lot of success with a different blocker?

When you put the vapor blocker on it feels like it falls off to one side as it feels really unbalanced.

any suggestions on really decent blocker?

I love the way the Bionics feel, wouldn't mind trying the summits. I love TPS blockers, I would have bought one of those if I didn't get my Demon blocker before I checked out TPS.

I have a preference for Vortek blockers. Light weight, good balance and protection.

if looking for NHL legal, the new RBK x-pulse is really nice, glove not so much, The blocker has a great natural feel/balance to it.

I like the Simmons 993 Superflex... Light weight, easy to move and good price.

the smith blocker is lighter than the 993

all right, never knew how out of the loop i was in goalie equipment. found the smith website and was wondering if any or all of their stuff is good quality.

Pete has been building gear for years and yes, he builds quality equipment.

yeah, me too man!

i took 5 years off and come back this summer to a barrage of goalie gear that i have never heard of!!

i just got my first pair of Smith gloves last friday.

the quality and build of these mits are equal to, if not better than the top goalie gear manufacturers. i have been using VAUGHN equpiment forever and swore i would never buy anything else.

then i was talking to the trainer from our local ECHL team and he told me to check out SMITH and VORTEK. well, i broke down and bought me some Smith gloves and VORTEK leg pads. (smith leg pads are next ;)

i read the interwebs up and down looking for any negative feed back about his gear. other than gripes about graphic designs, i found NOTHING, i repeat NOTHING!! everyone raved about his equipment and they had to have it.

a 16 week wait for leg pads and 8 week wait for gloves is a testament to his products IMO.

i dont work for smith, im just really excited about the product i bought!

i got lucky, he had a demo model that was the color i wanted and the break actually fits my hand (didnt have to go the custom route).

smith is to notch, his stuff is above and beyond, i would go with it any day of the week

[jesse10 0]

vaughn v3 is above and beyond anything

i am really liking the sound of the smith gloves, but the wait is what is keeping me. i don't know if i can have 8 weeks when i finally decide. and i haven't seen the v3's for sale anywhere on the net.

ya, but i have been playing for 10 years straight. i thought my 11.8 x factor's were the top of the line until sum1 said than sanford's pads were 12.8. then i come to find there are like 3 more brands that i hadn't even heard of.

alright if u havent seen the v3's go to www.vaughnhockey.com to look at them in the 07 catalouge and u can order them from vaughn or u can go on www.thehockeyshop.com and they sell them on there

jesse, seriously, we get it. the V3s are amazing and the best pads ever and nothing will ever compare. so stop telling us that in every other post in this thread.

Yeah...enough with the Vaughn promoting. Don't care if you the stepson of the uncle of the brother of the vice president of Vaughn Hockey.
