And there's some aspects of the 580 I really love, like when you snag one it feels fantastic the way it snaps shut and swallows up the puck No pop outs with that thing. My challenge was I never got completely comfortable with where the pocket was in space, and because of its size and shape it feels longer and a bit cumbersome and I've realized I'm less athletic with my glove when I'm using it as opposed to a 590. I think the 590 just fits my hand better. Even just breaking in the True this evening (it only arrived today at noon), it already feels like old familiar.

Madmedic6 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I finally made the stray away from ccm/koho pants for the first time since 2005... Decided to do something fun as I was ordering custom for shorter length. Turned out better than I thought they would. Slr4.

Doesn't fully feel like the 580s of decades gone by... but it is MUCH better than the CCM 580. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't fully feel like the 580s of decades gone by... but it is MUCH better than the CCM 580. The eflex was my first 580 experience so I can't compare my experience to the originals but good to know the True felt better, maybe I'll give it a try at some point. I used a Koho/Lefevre 590 for a bunch of years before the Vaughn V9 XP (590-ish), so the True is a return to more of what I'm used to. I have to say though, in terms of feel and build, the eflex 6 580 feels closer to the construction of the Koho than the L20.2 does. The L20.2 feels lighter, more nimble and more modern than the CCM (again, I'm just talking build quality). What did you not like about the Axis?

After coming from ccm pro stock I will say the inner thigh 5hole padding is much thicker and takes some getting use to, definitely hindered 5 hole closer more than normal. I do not tuck, but I did take out the internal belt for a little extra room on the inside. But all in all the padding and protection seem solid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah w/ my slr3 I get some issues at times with closing the five hole cause of that thigh padding and it’s not removable unless of course I cut the elastic and surrounding nylon, but also don’t want to sacrifice protection from the weird shots that get through. Wondering if v10 has the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if v10 has the same issue. I always saw the extra bar as a cheater and it does hinder closing the 5 hole somewhat. I removed the excess on all my pants and just kept the simple LD block. It's usually thinner. I have caught a stinger or 2 on the inner thigh cause things are a little looser. Don't know if it's like that in the pros. Itech was known for having oversized cheaters inside the thighs and along the outside of the thighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use warrior pro pants and to me it feels perfect, moma bear sized. Not too big to interfere with closure, not too thin to leave you open to stingers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how old you are but I remember using some D&R Panta pants and the thigh guard went around to the inner thigh instead of a separate piece like today's pants. They were cool and kinda form fit, but not as snug as Tackla was. Edited January 14 by RichMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1p33 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 This just came today. Vapor90, boring colors but I made it to match my retail set, Game ready, single T reinforced, skate lace pocket, ultrasonic nash palm, and of course it came right after a string of excellent games and finally getting used to the HL2 glove 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wasn't expecting mine for another couple of weeks but got the email Tuesday that it shipped. Closure out of the box was better than expected. Feels nice and snappy but not too loose, I imagine I'd feel a little looser without the reinforced T. Light years better than my HL2 glove but that was off the shelf retail so kinda to be expected.

Mach didn’t feel nice and I liked the closure of the vapor glove. I never tried one on the ice just off the rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chile57 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Welcome aboard @WBGMike. As a dude that's high school rocked them - can appreciate the purple and gold (Go Wildcats). Nice kit set.
