Bgums13 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 What happens when you don’t have Hockey and curiosity strikes you? That’s right you buy nylon webbing, heavy duty thread and a curved needle and repurpose the unused boot strap with some plastic D rings I had laying around. I made my own professor strap now I’ve only finished 1 pad but the 2nd one is ready I just need to stitch my tabs in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it keeps things tight to lose the smaller strap and loosen the x strap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCM’s have nothing below the calf and it’s surprising good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having it as close as you do now may make strapping in kind of challenging/annoying. Mine is set up that way stock, I added another inch and a half on my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCM’s have nothing below the calf and it’s surprising good I would like a more open leg channel, that’s the one thing I miss from my Reebok days. I’d like to demo the premier 2 but I’d be afraid that’d lead to divorce because I’d want the pads with optik gloves. My concern with taking the X-Strap off would be the inner calf wrap wings would then be loose and could potentially roll between your shin and leg channel and no body has time for that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgums13 Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 So since I don’t use the boot straps and repurposed them as my professor straps (which feel good off ice I’ll need to figure it out better on ice) I was using one of the straps to carry my pads. I don’t have a fancy sumo bag or a passau backpack bag so I improvised again, I took a duffel bag strap cut down to the needed length and then sewed the hook clips back on to attach to the provided loops brians intended you to use their strap with (which should have came with the pads after 2600 bucks come on brians) anyways here’s the final project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
