I’ve been told by Graf and other users who’ve done this that it’ll work just fine. 3 minutes ago, dstew29 said: These look so dope. Any pre-lockdown skates in them?

I realize you're not asking me in specific, but I wear cowlingless skates (Vapor 2X) and the toe cap is completely adequate such that I haven't missed having a cowling yet. I've taken shots that hurt my feet, but not anywhere that a cowling would have helped (eg. got under and hit the tongue on the skate, or just a really hard shot off the toe while my feet were cold).

I wear the X700 for 2 seasons now and I have gotten some uncomfortable shots off the toe, more like where the runner meets the boot which makes for a very dulling pain on my big toe, and yes, I have ample room to prevent banging. Just an unexplained occurrence. The original Grafs were always with cowlings and with the new cowlingless model, one wonders if the newer model is simply reinforced (thicker) at the toe cap. Apparently not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Picked up the matching P2.9 Blocker to complete the set. Still have to say that I greatly prefer the Warrior feel but I'll definitely give the CCM's a fair shake. Also picked up a set of roller blades. If I can't have Ice at least I'll get some sort of skating in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemc620 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Nice Coop. You should see the rollerblades that I still have somewhere from when I played inline. I’ll have to take a picture of them later when I get home from work. Edited April 30, 2020 by mikemc620 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know for sure but I probably got these around 2000 or 2001. It’s been a while since I’ve played any inline but I can’t get rid of them just in case, even if I don’t want to ever switch away from the ice.

They don’t have jenpro on the inner surface so they are terrible at soaking up water but they slid a bit on sportcourt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently not. Graf said they always over engineered the toes of their goalie skates even though they were behind a cowling. Its the same hard plastic toe caps that are on their regular skates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman30 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Kova order showed up last week, very impressed with the products. Neck guard has the gel upgrade but am not sure as it's still very hard and lighter then I though something with gel foam would feel. Anyone got this upgrade how does the gel upgrade feel ? Suspenders got them with the double elastic upgrade and really like them. Honestly I think these are better then my Duluth ones. They came with the floater ties, even though I asked for the single tie on the front. They look easy to come off but am seriously going to give them try. Again very well built product Also picked up up Kovas hiding mask straps. I like how they are done with the little loops on them. Again heavy grade mask straps with diffently last. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
