TheGoalNet Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Unfortunately, the gear delivered during a lull for me. Might be another 1-2 weeks before I'm out there... good news? Plenty of time to make content! Glove Video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estogoalie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Can someone shortly explain what the BOA is all about? (Sorry, don't have time to read the whole thread, watch videos, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry, don't have time to read the whole thread, watch videos, etc.) It is a ratchet system that tightens the wrist strap down. You have to physically release it to loosen it’s hold. My old Sidi cycling shoes had something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big2 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 TGN thanks for the video on the gloves, look forward to hear back you on the pads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 @estogoalie - allows you to more securely lock your hand into place. Wont come loose during a game cleaner look without a giant strap hanging out BOA is a universal system used in golf shoes, cycling shoes, hiking boots etc. Brian’s is the first company to use it in hockey, but it’s a very proven system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Haha... it’s because of how the IG formats the live videos first video was done vertical and the second horizontal if you take the second video and lock your phone vertical and then move it sideways, it fills the screens ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Video is live on YouTube, link is below... unfortunately, this was filmed live. I don't have the ability to edit it and I made a couple errors crossing FLY & FLX core in my dialog... the joys of life broadcasting! My pads are FLY core. There is also a FLX core. FLX is more flexible in the thigh rise and lighter weight. This would line up more with the GNetik FLY is a stiffer pad that would be more a "butterfly" pad like the SZ line. This pad utilizes more HD foam than the FLX and is a couple ounces heavier because of the construction. I initially was going to order FLX, but after seeing the photos of Andy O'Connor's FLY, I changed my order because I loved the shape!!! I'll post some pics tomorrow of the different features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I may have missed it (had the video half playing in the background at work), but did you end up showing the flexibility of the FLY pads? I saw the lack of torsional flex, but didn't see the main two points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 @coopaloop1234 - didn’t hit on that Was actually thinking about it and I might take one more crack at the pads video. Maybe even look at the others if it goes well. Trick will just be finding the time I will film this wide screen for YouTube and not do it live on IG. That will leave it formatted better for living on the site and YouTube long term. Like with everything, there are trade offs. IG live is great because people call ask questions in real time, people are watching live, but the formatting is locked to a cell phone in vertical orientation. YouTube is nice because the video can live into history. It’s also formatted for multiple devices and you can take a pause during the recording. Downside is that I don’t see video being a major focus longterm, so I won’t be committing to YouTube and building a worthwhile audience. There’s also tons of competition on there with professional camera men, so filming in IG gets the biggest bang for TheGoalNet.com Im a big believer in “action leads clearity”. I never intended to do voice over videos, but early access to Optik warranted it! Tried a few things, understand the pros and cons of all the formats now, and have some best practices for making videos The pad flex is a great suggestion and I will encorpoate that... if I get time the only downfall is that you’ll need to listen to me drone on for another 40 mins... Get ya popcorn ready!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Took another crack at it. Aside from watching the video, do people find this version significantly more helpful? Is it worse? Any feedback is welcome It is worth redoing the glove & blocker in the same format? Making these videos is sneaky time consuming, so please put a little thought into your responses!!!

Big2 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 TGN good job! Question on the pads can let us know how the Optiks compare vs S1/2 and Warriors in regards to weight - I do not know how much they all weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 @Big2 - I'd need someone to share their Warrior pad weight for me to know where those are at. From what I can tell... Optik FLY = ~same weight as 1S. Optik FLX = Lighter than 1S My 1S pads are shorter than my Optik FLY, so it's not a pure Apples to Apples comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's still somewhat necessary to hopefully avoid a skate on the wrist or something (i dunno)... but otherwise could almost be removed. I don't know about anyone else, but I use the cuff a surprising amount for rebound control. My last game there were at least 3 instances of making a shoulder save and the rebound dropping down into the cuff of the blocker for a whistle. Could just be the way I make those saves but it happens all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
