Jonathon v Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 So for the gnetik 4 vs optik... does a 2 piece sidewalk actually do anything better for the blocker besides looks? The optik seems to be way lighter but idk about the sidewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Strapping was pretty dialed in last skate. I did the top of the V calf last elastic medium snug. I did the bottom of the V tight. The pad stayed in place during movement, felt connected, rotated + sealed well. This set up was with my Brian's knee pads. Going to try this next skate with my 1X knee pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Second skate with the tighter strapping. I honestly don't have any complaints or nit picks about this set... Maybe the Lexan makes it a bit heavier than something with carbon fiber in it? But yeah, impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1200 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Awesome set. Might have missed it in the video but what toe taper angle did you go with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can attest to getting a Velocity blocker w/ added carbon on the face makes pucks FLY off the board without any noticeable weight gain. Miss that blocker and is partially why I added the Lexan on my Gen4 set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine after constant shots from the best shooters in the world, the foam has deadened. Vaughn hasn't always been the most durable, it will last, but it will soften.

TheGoalNet Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Can anyone with GNetik IV pads send me a picture of how their elastic calf smart strap connects to the plastic loops? I have changed mine so many times, I want to see how much slack is "stock". Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
