4 rolls vs. Pro Style

[Wallzy41 9]

What style is better for an Offensive D-man, or a Defensive Forward(interchangable in this case, we're playing 3 on 3 pond hockey with full pads)? Please list pros and cons of each glove type. Thank you.

What do you mean by pro style?

[Wallzy41 9]

My fault. Gloves that have segmented backhands, like the CCM Vector series, or the NBH Vapor Gloves are what I'm referring to as "Pro Style", vs the CCM Pro Tacks(which are 4-rolls)

I have no idea what your talking about. But when it comes to gloves, it's all personal preference. No one glove is going to make a difference in your performance. Just get what ever glove you feel the most comfortable in.

[Wallzy41 9]

I really should be more specific in what I'm looking for. What do most of you prefer and why? I'm torn. I have 2 pair of CCM gloves, one Pro Tacks, One V02(Vector Series). Both fit me differently, and it's difficult to have a "go-to" glove when I love both of them.

For me, I used to be a volume fit guy only (4rolls), but not so much any more. I can use any fit, as long as the palms are nice and soft clarino or nash. I can't stand the feeling of palms with different inserts or materials like the one90's or 6k's.

i don't really think that it has much to do with your position, but to answer your question...

i play defense, and i wear a 4-roll style glove.

Anotomical Fitting Gloves (NB Supreme Series, Easton S17, Warrior AK27, MacDaddy etc.) : Less protection, superior fit

4-Roll (NB 4R): Loose fit, large glove, superior protection

My CCM 4-Rolls are 13" and they are like a modded 14 in the cuff, but a 13 in the fingers. My Vectors are 15" and they are very 14" like in the fingers, and have huge cuffs.

I doubt anything "pro style" exists since both 4-5 roll type gloves are very common in the NHL along with the other styles you mentioned. I'm willing to bet the NBH 4-roll and other 4 roll types (Easton/Warrior) are dominant in the NHL right now, but not sure if there is a glove for a specific position.

So you have a pair of PRO Tacks and a pair of V02(the lowest level Vector glove) and you want to know what's the best?

I personally like 4-roll style.

personally I like looser fit gloves so I wear 4 roll style gloves (I currently use Easton pro stock ones, but I also have Bauer 4 rolls as well).

if its really bugging you as to which style to go for i would give the TPS R8's a try. The have four roll protection like a full thumb lock and padding on the pinky finger but they also have some nice features like angled rolls and a three piece forefinger. Coming from vapors they were the best fit for me in a "traditional" style glove.

isnt this all like personal preference? its kind of like asking which is better for skates, Aggressive or Traditional stance. Theres no "better/best" glove.. its all depends on what YOU prefer.

The back of the glove style is irrelevant, the palm is the only thing that matters. Go with what gives you the best feel of the stick.
