For me, it's tight on the glove like a baseball glove cause that's how I learned how to catch. I started with T-ball at least by 4 or 5 years old but didn't start hockey until somewhere between 8-10. You'll get mixed answers for many preferential reasons and also because there are goalies who have never played baseball.

Mind sending a link to the cages on sl you know fit?

@Nohtaram you just made me rethink how much life I may have left in my 14 year old Fusion 9961. I just black sharpied in a small chip on the chin and thinking this is the end. But you ran this into the ground real good. Got your money's worth. Nice job on the new mask as well. Pro or no? Like it? What size did you get for your melon? Which curve did you get for the m1? Like them after a season of testing?

Slightly off topic amd not sure if posted elsewhere but I saved these screenshots to post when I had a moment.

I recently reached out to them for a new cage for my 9961 through https://www.fusionmasks.com They took a few days to respond and are based in Canada. You might be better off going through Simmons who sells them. I got my cage from them as well. https://simmonshockey.com They're quicker to respond andnbased in the US.

NHL Pro Chest Protector Database

He's got some Gform in there. -
I'm 5'6" and use Warrior 23.5" and if I get beat it's rarely through that hole. Usually high blocker is where I might get beat. Or ya gotta make the occasional knob save. Definitely give a shorter stick a try.
-
I doubt anyone has them yet, but I could be wrong. Look for G6 reviews it'll probably be comparable. Gotta get their hypercomp in the thigh for maximum pop and I think that's the pro model only? They could've changed it to regular senior as well. I don't think it's compared to the ultrasonic but someone more knowledgeable should chime in.
-
I would check sideline swap occasionally for a good condition set of what you're looking for. There's a lot pf old Vaughn sets on there. You could possibly find some new old stock pads.
-
Grab a lighter and hit it with some flame. Gets rid of all the fuzz.
-
Would goalie monkey possibly not have the correct size chart listed for G6 and G7? They have the same sizing chart as the GT2. 32" pad for a 5'6" height. Same as my G2 I currently wear. Is it in the new brochure? Sorry if I missed where the info was from.

CCM AB18 vs AB500 vs Abpro - what's the difference?
dreadlocked1 replied to dreadlocked1's topic in Chest Protectors - C&As
I got my ccm ab500 today. Turns out it's an intermediate large and not a senior large as I had hoped. I did tell the seller I was looking for a senior and it was listed as unknown. Debating whether to debate it on sideline or just keep and take the loss. Either donate to a kid that's got a crappy chest protector and likes to play or pull it apart for the floaters and beef up the pro body I hopefully will eventually find? My armless senior small ABPro on the right vs the intermediate AB500 on the left. If I lost 40 lbs. I bet the small senior would be perfect lol.
