ntwusc 62 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 fcb51.....those Eagles are absolutley amazing!! I gotta ask though, did the red msh2's come on the gloves, or can we have the red put on when re-palmed? The reason I'm asking, is that I have some eagles that came with red palms, and I just had re-palmed with MSH2 but it didn't even occur to me, to ask for red replacement palms.....shit!Those gloves are pre-msh2. Mustang, maybe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gefiltefish 9 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) By chance could we see some more pics of the Shanahan AK? Curve? I don't see a whole lot of his sticks around.Ditto. Is it me or is th taper really odd on that AK Shanny? Seems to stay very thick/wide and then "shaves" off... Never saw that before. Perhaps it is just me?!?

Scotty 8 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Ditto. Is it me or is th taper really odd on that AK Shanny? Seems to stay very thick/wide and then "shaves" off... Never saw that before. Perhaps it is just me?!?From what I remember reading in the past, his sticks (once switched to Warrior OPS) weren't of the traditional bonded tapered blade/tapered shaft construction, but rather a fused standard shaft and blade because that was how he preferred his sticks since he used the Easton aluminum shafts for so long.

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Yup Scotty, that's 100% correct. It's a VERY square shaft, nice pattern too although the lie is awfully low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ice is a lot more forgiving on a boot.i think the word i remember hearing from reps or JR, can't remember which, is "overbuilt". that's why roller boots also tend to be noticeably heavier than ice.

I find roller boots to be less structurally sound than ice boots.No, roller boots take more damage because they are on a surface that is more abrasive.i think the word i remember hearing from reps or JR, can't remember which, is "overbuilt". that's why roller boots also tend to be noticeably heavier than ice.Overbuilt is a good word for it, yeah.

I know this sounds extreme, but honestly I have seen many other pr's re-palmed gloves in my time, both on here, and in person....and mine were not satisfactory.......Cheers!I swear I can see issues with yours?....look at white trim parts on baby finger or outer edge of gloves?

Seems like they just slapped the palms on and shipped them out, not even the slightest effort in cleaning them up or making them look new.
