No sure why the difference but its there So $100 extra for a few more options and a faster turnaround. Seems like a strange decision for my standpoint, but I'm sure there's some sort of reasoning behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not nearly the smorgasbord that CCM or Brians offers but its a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro custom gives you additional custom options shown on the pdf above for an additional upcharge and a (supposedly) reduced lead time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black cover, pro bump, and also faster shipping. It was a very minimal upcharge IMO. $200 instead of $100 IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also charge for expedited assembly. The only difference between the two is Bauer gives you a menu of expanded options for a flat rate upcharge and Brian's does so by request. It's not strange, it's smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_shifty1982 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Does retail charge more for custom orders? Ccm? Bauer? If so what's the total cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a strange decision for my standpoint, but I'm sure there's some sort of reasoning behind it. Not from Bauer, my opinion... On the upside, I think Bauer is trying to simplify the process by saying these options = $100 more and then these = $200 more. This is MUCH more effective than emailing a store a list of your specs and then waiting to see how much extra Brian’s or Vaughn will charge you. Bauer’s approach is easier and more transparent. Brian’s and Vaughn have charged small fees for very long time for certain options. IMO, Bauer is looking to generate extra revenue following the same logic.

He’s traveling abroad, so it might be another week until I can confirm anything 100%. Sorry. In the interim, here’s my best guess... the knee block is probably a larger knee block with a more pronounced leveler on it. I think I’m with the crowd on this consensus As for the thick or thin insert... 2X is very thin. 2S is more traditional width. Here’s a comparison with Premier 2. So I’m pretty sure this is the change with that option. What am I said, Vapor has a very flat boot. It’s almost 90 deg. I’m still curious if the thick insert also changes the boot angle back something more like 2S or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell31 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 @TheGoalNet Can you measure the boot length on your the Vapor. Curious on the size. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 3 hours ago, Max27 said: why do they play shorter in the butterfly? Because of the flatter boot and Z shape. The flatter boot makes the shin sit lower and closer to your leg. The lack of S keeps the thigh rise from coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flatter boot makes the shin sit lower and closer to your leg. The lack of S keeps the thigh rise from coming in Worth noting that if you want more of an S in the 2X, you can get it. I store my 1x’s upside down and I’ve brought in the thigh rise 2-3 inches. No weights, no squashing, just storing upside down 24/7 Edit: Wanted to add more detail. I store them upside down with the thigh rise on the floor and the boot leaning up against the wall. The top of the thigh rise should be somewhere parallel with the boot break. The goal there is to make sure the center of gravity is directly over the top of the thigh rise so that the pad's weight isn't leaning against the wall, but rather pushing down on the thigh rise. The prime time to do this is when it's warm, wet, and soft after you place. Come home and immediately store them. Once it dries, the foam will shrink a bit into place. it does take time, 2 months or so. Don't squash it or heat it up. You don't want to tear the foams or undo the adhesives. Just take it slow.

Retailers generally pick their own colorways to put on the shelves. GM may carry different color options than THS for example. Almost certainly though, this will will be one of the stock options at many retailers as the "all white" option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mroy31 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Just noticed the Stick customizer on Bauer's site has been updated. Looks like you can now get a few more custom options again: Blade patterns, rounded shoulders...well that's it, but it's better than what they had before and a step closer to custom grips. 2S Pro only has P31 and P34 patterns, but you can get the rounded shoulders on that one too. 2X Pro patterns Stock vs. Round Shoulders Doesn't look like there's a minimum order and if I ordered off the site today it says expected delivery is May 27th. $329.98 CAD all-in with shipping ($309 base price vs. $339 for 2S Pro). Looks like retail +$10 and shipping for custom order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
