Hyperlite, kept it pretty much stock, except I went with soft flex for the pads and for the glove I added the extra poron at the palm base and the reinforced T. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had major reservations about this pad/graphic at first but you nailed this one. ps - not sure what accent colors your team has but a small amount of pad skinz like the sport gold here and there would pop on these things.

seagoal Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 New V9 Pro Carbon gear in the house. Ordered April 6th, arrived June 17th. Through no fault of Vaughn there were a few snags in shipping with FedEx, but 9-10 weeks for new gear from Vaughn ain't too bad. This is my...5th custom set from Vaughn and the quickest delivery that I remember. My new team is called Skeletons Hockey Club, decked out in red/black/white. My strategy for the new gear was mostly red, then black, then white. I wanted to add some Quick Slide accents on the mitts to help match the pads better, which you can see below. I am quite happy to report there was not one single error by Vaughn in the set. Everything is exactly how I ordered it and perfect. Here are some pics of the gear with all the specs: BLOCKER -full carbon face, pro logos, extra backhand padding for a snugger fit. Very happy with how it turned out. It is VERY snug as as of right now, looking forward to it breaking in and loosening just a tad...but not much. I can not stand floppy, loosey-goosey blockers. I REALLY love the Quick Slide underneath the board. It makes me smile. GLOVE -pro logos, leather strap/buckle wrist strap replaces the stock nylon slider strap, external velcro tabs in black to contrast the red background (this is stock the same color, I Iike contrast), pro palm Glove looks and feels great and I REALLY like the T in Quick Slide giving it a little shine and contrast to the other nylon/jenpro reds. It feels decent in terms of closure, not great, which is standard for Vaughn gloves. 180 degrees for 6 minutes in the oven and some hot water in the outer palm get these closing like a dream for me every time. The leather strap inside was a bit long (as always) and I trimmed it down so that it doesn't curl up and interfere with the backhand padding. Super easy little mod to make this more natural closing. PADS -there is no stock size labeled on these, they are built to my legs but they are essentially a 34.5-35, no outer knee wing, no boot strap, soft boot, stiff thigh, pro logos These are unreal. I can't believe how they feel. I was most anxious about ordering the stiff thigh, more than any other thing I ordered, but I am so. glad. I. did. My VE8s got pretty soft over the past 3 years and on my left one in particular (I am a leaner) it was arcing torsionally on the thigh rise. I don't mind softer pads, obviously as a lifelong Vaughn guy, but I wanted to push my self a bit into the more modern build with stiff thighs and I really like it so far. They feel much, much firmer and stiffer than my VE8s, but nowhere close to Bauer Ultrasonic stiff. Which is perfect for me. I live sorta in the middle anyway and order a stiff Vaughn pad is where I belong. I of course immediately removed the toe lace and put on my Pro Laces that I have been sitting on for a while now. All in all I am a happy goalie. These were a very generous, loving 40th birthday present from my partner who was inspired by how excited I was with hockey returning and being on my new team this summer season. I would have been fine with my baby/navy blue VE8 gear (I was for game 1 which we won 6-2 and I played great), but this just makes the whole thing pretty f'n sweet. I am beyond impressed with this gear. I have a tournament this weekend to look forward to before our next Skeletons game, so I will have a great opporunity to get this gear broken in and dialed in. Cheers everyone. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome colorway you used here. Hey thanks. I was excited about you seeing them. I am looking forward to your new gear, for sure. We are on the unofficial Vaughn committee on here, afterall. Check this out. I did a super quick little mod to my pads. When carrying or storing my VE8 pads I would just run my Pro Laces velcro tabs through the housing of the boot strap, which I removed within seconds of receiving those pads. For my V9s, I had the foresight to order them without a boot strap, which means there is no housing. There are no other ways to attach or secure the Pro Laces tabs without that, so I had to think of something on the fly so that they don't dangle when being carried or stored in my gear shelving. Skate lace. Snip snip. Loop through the pad's cord, a couple of knots. Lighter flame. Voila. All new, all red, all awesome Pro Laces velcro tab holders. Total time: 5 minutes. Total cost: uhh.....pennies Edited June 18, 2021 by seagoal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
