Brand new Tavares pro stocks.  Amazing palms on these ones, really soft.  

Awesome gloves. I actually just got a pair of these exact gloves this past weekend and love them.

Howdy,

 

Those are sweet!

I was literally just looking at some Adidas Pens practice jerseys on clearance at their pens gear store in Pittsburgh and they seem super nice.  But even on clearance & 40% off of that they were still too rich for my cheap-ass... :-)

LFOD78 - they are 14" - fingers seem to be a bit tapered too... never seen that before but I like it a lot, it's a really snug/anatomical fit.

I was surprised/happy with how snug they were for 14" gloves. I'd say they fit closer to 13.5" which is perfect for me.

What tongue is that?  Did they come on the skate or did you have them switched?

Looks like the original 1X tongue

Yea it's the original 1X tongue with the double white felt. The skates are Mikko Rantanen pro stocks.

Just picked these up off eBay... Elmira College returns.  Couldn't resist because they will look amazing with my tournament team colors (retro LAK)

[Fletch 219]

These arrived yesterday, now I just need to find the socks.

Added some colour, hard to do when playing on multiple teams.

New wheels, nothing fancy. First new skates since 2006 though. 

Newest piece of equipment and oldest. Bauer Flak shoulder pads. From 1989. 

[Hills 712]

Had some foot pain in the FT1 and needed to get a wider heel and more depth. These felt great right away.

[laserrobottime 149]

My new Graf 755 Pros. Had these made up last month:

 

Carbon quarter, AMC liner, oversized toe cap, asymmetric tongue, LS Edge holder. Still haven't been able to get on the ice with them, but the fit is spot-on.

Look great! Please do a review once you put them through their paces. I’m curious how that build stacks up against other skates you’ve worn in the last few years.

[asgoodasdead 74]

yeah i'm really interested in the process of getting custom Grafs made. also price.

What was the fit like on these?  Supreme like?  More like a Vapor?

They're totally custom, they built up a last from tracings and photos of my feet. They recommended I go with a medium-depth boot and tight heel, so it's not entirely comparable to either.

I'm under a pro deal so I went through a rep. Retail custom process requires a visit to a dealer and is a $100+ upcharge from retail price. Final cost depends on what you request on the skates.
