Order placed! (along with matching gloves)

had to use different websites because for some reason vaughn doesn’t have navy aerospacer but goaliemonkey does. gloves are projected to be here mid/late may and pads mid june (iirc)

You son of a bitch!  That was the graphic I almost did many years ago when I did my current V6 set.  I was going to do red knee rolls though.

Figured I’d get in on the action. True 12.2 w/ L87 graphic ordered last week. Estimated around Labor Day. Here’s what I went with:

 

Pads

-32+1

-single / single break

-stiff face

-soft boot

-recessed knee w single leather below knee strap

-tight fit FRS w 2” nylon calf strap 

-behind heel leather strap (might ultimately remove but wanted to test)

-HD foam toe attachment w skate lace (have a pair of Prolaces x TGN hybrids that I’ll switch to if need be)

 

Glove

-590 (coming from 600 Eflex3 pro return. Been getting some pop outs when holding upright so figured this was a good next step)

-game ready w extra (similar to D30 I’m told)

-double T w/ nylon

-webbing at wrist

-sure grip palm

 

Blocker

-595 (bindingless)

-half cuff

-straight finger protection

-tight fit

-centered

-sure grip palm

 

Design/Pics:

-I struggled between 12.2 graphic and retro but ultimately loved the clean lines w L87

-I sub a lot still, no set team colors per se, so I figured I’d opt for a neutral colorway with a good accent color or two

Why are you posting goalies dressed in March when he was talking about games last night? lol

We went through this a bit ago, but we added up all the starters wearing True gear and it was just shy of the 40% metric True was spouting.

Never did the count with Bauer, but True holding 40% alone is a massive metric when there's only five brands in the show.

I would have guessed higher than that, but hard to say with guys going back and forth with demos.

By the way @netminder, that's mostly AHL roster guys on that spreadsheet, no? And where's the other 30 teams lol? I may need you to make a few persuasive charts for me at some point. I'll PM you.

They look fantastic... will always wish I picked up an L87 set when branded Lefevbre just to have the "L" on the thigh... still think they should with these anyway... hell maybe even "T". Specs are damn near spot on too. 580 would make them perfect. Anxious to hear more about them once you have them. How far are is their lead time? Last I head it was the longest of anyone right now.

I'm a 90s kid so the lefevbre branding would have been a cherry on top. Have to say I really like the look of the True logos/branding on all their sets so that helps.

 

Will definitely get some first impressions up once I break them in. It's funny, I think I took about a full week from the April 9 launch date to finally get my order into True. Over that week the lead time estimates were all over the map - as "low" as 16 weeks and high of 22 weeks I think. When I booked these it was 18-20 so I'm saying 20 weeks puts it at Labor Day, or so.

 

When a saw those few recent posts on custom V9s taking 9 weeks it definitely stung a bit lol

Sweet. Let us know how it feels!

Loved the feeling of the skates with the way I tied them. Still getting used to cowlingless skates anyways. A little slippage in my right one and probably could use some insoles (I have pretty high arches) but felt great. I’m actually wearing correct fitting skates and I definitely notice a difference.

Kova neck guard was awesome. After I started playing I barely noticed it.

Took advantage of a great deal from The Hockey Shop in Surrey on new V1 Pro + sticks.  $279 Canadian,  about $229 USD.

All taped up and ready to roll

My AXIS custom set arrived today and it look amazing 🤩

 

I askd earlier is axis game ready with D3O glove more protective than premier 2.9. Now I can say yes it is more protective than premier 2.9

NIce set! I opted to for extra lower calf elastic and boot strap as well (although mine is below heel) and found that this setup works well for those of us who are on the back 9 of their playing days. Gives the tight to leg feel we grew up with (similar to EFlex line) but the performance of a modern pad.

"That's a bold palette Cotton - let's see if it pays off for him... "

But seriously - appreciate any and all color schemes that push the envelope and I give a nod to the commitment level shown on these. Well done.

After finally getting some more consecutive skates now that everything is getting back to normal, I love these pads and glove. The glove is hands down my favorite glove I’ve ever owned. The thing closes like absolute butter. The pads are so light and fast and hard rebounds and seal nice. The blocker is my least favorite but I definitely don’t hate it
