  1. Haven't played with the customizer but I would merge 2 and 3, the backs of 3 with the faces of 2. if that can't be done ...2 I vote 2
  2. I don't believe this is accurate. Although the break angle is the same (both 75 degree) the thumb angle is different. This will make the break feel different because your thumb is now in a different position. As @Kirk3190 stated above,
  3. In my experience, the higher attack angle in stance only reeks havoc if you take advantage of it and widen your stance. Otherwise the benefits while down out way the negative while standing. Keep in mind, I'm vertically challenged and don't have to widen my stance to drop quickly.
  4. unfortunately It won't be available until April. I'll post here once I actually get one.
  5. Love my 4 door wrangler, 200k miles, never an issue, only reason i'm getting rid of it is because of the jeep Gladiator.
  6. Technically most traditional masks are single impact, i.e. one shot, stick, whatever, and the mask needs to be inspected. With glued foams, this requires repadding to check the structural integrity of the interior of the unit. Although not likely to occur, any single impact to the shell could cause interior cracking behind the padding leading to catastrophic failure. Easier to inspect the mask with the "mechanically attached foam". Royal pain in the Ass, not practical by any means but never the less truth. That being said, very good idea to periodically have a mask builder/expert inspect your mask.... once a season or more if you are consistently taking shots of the mask. This holds true for all protective headwear made from plastics or epoxy resins and foams. I understand that nobody in the world abides by this and there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, but that doesn't make it any less true, it only takes 1 impact to damage the structural integrity of a helmet and you never know which impact it will be that causes it. sorry to be a bummer.
  7. 2007 wrangler unlimited, @motowngoalie, I'm in the same boat, Think I might go with the 2020 Jeep Gladiator coming out this spring/summer
  8. Actually prefer the Black /white/red minus the little tag of red on the boot by the break, at least it doesn't look like they tried to carry the graphic to the outer roll and failed. Honestly, to me, the red/black/silver and the navy/white/light blue look like shoddy workmanship, like someone didn't take the time to line up the jenpro before they started sewing. I guess that's why ice cream comes in so many flavors, everyone's got their own taste.
  9. Probably wouldn't mind it as much if the face zones lined up with the outer roll
  10. Anyone else having trouble viewing the "Gear" forum? claims to be thousands of posts but it's empty when I click on it.
  11. Makes total sense as the original blades seem to be pitched toward the heel compared to the Step. Should be a night and day difference, doesn't mean it's the right profile for you, but should be a huge difference. good luck, anxious to hear how it goes.
  12. @dstew29, Just curious did you buy the Grafs new, how long have you had them and how often you sharpen them, what type of machine is used for sharpening? I wouldn't be surprised if there is a lengthy adjustment period, that is a huge difference between the 2 blades.
  13. So as I said, I can't speak for the larger version but the 32" bag is pretty cool. Plenty of room for my player gear needs although I do wish it had more accessory pockets. It fits: skates, shinguards, 2 pr elbow pads, 2 pr gloves, 2 helmets, girdle, 7 jerseys, 3 shells, towel and shower essentials, change of clothes, and of course the bag necessities. Unfortunately my tape rolls and some other odds and ends are loose in the skate compartment but whatever. I unintentionally left the gear in the bag after sundays games(goalie gear did not get neglected) and it was 90% dry when I got home from work and removed it. So I we'll call it a good purchase. I won't comment on durability just yet as I've only had it for 2 weeks. Hope this helps @itis121
