If I was sticking with Warrior, I'd be doing the same gloves too. The thicker board Warrior had on the G5's was not good. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocker is comparable to bauer and glove I prefer to bauer. The pads I did order short and narrow calf wrap. Should’ve gone short inside calf wrap and then long and wide calf wrap on the outside. I’ll probably ditch the boot strap since it’s annoying to take on and off due to how small the buckle is RPReplay_Final1686075243.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how things come full circle. Coaching in the late 90s went from "meet the shot on your feet" to "slide and make it hit you" and now we're back to "meet the shot on your feet" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next game tomorrow I’m going to try the pads without the slide plates. The plates do allow me to play roughly a foot farther out than I normally do because I’m able to slide fast enough to get to back door shots. That said I was unable to do knee shuffles, struggled to keep 5 hole closed because my knees would slide apart, and occasionally over slid on rebounds. Also considering doing dual toe ties using skate lace as a limiting strap and stock ARS straps for rotation Edited June 8, 2023 by ThatCarGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found I'm slightly overturning my pivots from my knees. Ended up taking off the PPF on calf and am debating removing it at the knees too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Had my first game with the Hyperlite and it went well enough. Like the break angle, like the feel. Just need to use it more to get comfortable with the switch from 75 to 60 and adjust to the pocket location. My setup can be described as: "Bauer Mutt". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCarGuy Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 My hyperlite 2 set arrived today. Took 8 weeks and 3 days. I'll provide pictures as soon as I'm back in town to see them.
