Thought I'd try going back to laces tonight after several years of bungee, and a few months of prolaces TGN spec (using no extra knots of skate lace)
Felt really good! Very comfortable moving around. Perhaps less stress on knees and ankles than with bungies? No issues with pad rotation. Had about 10 knots worth of unwaxed skate lace. Pushes off post from RVH felt noticeable better.
Don't feel like I'll be going back anytime soon.
very impressed with the feel and comfort out of the box. havent yet tried on ice tho.
always enjoyed a 590 break due to the 'baseball glove' like feel but tried a true 580 break in store and was pleasantly surprised with feel so thought I'd give the vapor90 a go. was sometimes having issues with catching pucks with the 590 (probably user error more than anything) so reckoned I'd try something new.
New hyperlite 2's came in!
All navy, ice blue logos, thick boot (soft) profile, x-large, vapour90 glove, game ready pal, reinforced double T, 2-piece blocker xl size
next to 36+1.5 Eflex 4s
sets side by side. eflex 4 glove is 590 break
Checked with my local dealer and heard this back from Vaughn:
"Unfortunately, we can't do the VE8 with the vintage graphic yet, only the stock VE8 graphic is available at this point"
