SaveByRichter35 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I saw that. That is such bullshit. Fuck Monster. I would buy that From Kenesky in a heartbeat because it is the same thing as a HAL and probably made 100x better than Monster makes it. AAAAAAAnd they'll actually ship it too!

Kayen Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Anything remotely similar to their HAL's they'll go out their way to attack it. I've seen it on many Facebook groups, and some people manufacturing a shock cord toe strap i.e FixMyGear, FIVEHOLE, etc. Very defensive company (insecure?).

Kenesky are good people. I don't find that to be the case. The packaging is as clear as day and it says Kenesky. That's like asking someone for the box of kleenex when it clearly says puffs and just handing it to them instead of correcting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I'm just catching up on this, and I've tried to stay away... But it would appear that the person asking about HALs was a Monster rep, and asked the initial question with the intention of baiting Kenesky into a response, in order to stir up some nonsense conflict - or at least that's my understanding. This whole thing is stupid, but I do believe we're witnessing the messy implosion of Monster Hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was this originally posted? GGSU? I'm kind of skeptical that it was Monster that screenshotted this and reposted it, the mentality of that action is just mind numbingly stupid. At the same time, based off of the postings in here, I guess it wouldn't be too farfetched. I still don't get it at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was GGSU and i don't recall the other. I agree it would be stupid, but, like you, after reading some of the shit that I have heard about Monster I wouldn't put it past them.

Nova Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Maybe monster should find a silver lining in this......somebody else is providing the market with the toe tie product, weakened demand for their toe ties will free up some man power for them to work on everything else that they are behind on, which based on what I've read seems to be pretty much everything outside of internet publicity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Znowleopard Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 So i dont want to jump on the train here, but i got some hal straps for xmas, and ive used them 6 times so far, and the elastic has already starting to fray where they contact the front of my skate cowling, anyone else who has them is that normal, and does this also happen to prolaces or other similar products?

TheGoalNet Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 @Znowleopard - Welcome! Unfortunately, if you scroll back a few pages, you will see many issues with Monster hockey. You could try to contact them for a "warranty" claim, it's been barely 30 days. If that fails, you should look into Pro Laces Armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the sleeves that you can buy with the HALs, and I have some pretty noticeable wear on them. Not to the point where they are falling apart, mostly it just looks like they're doing their job and protecting the cord. The sleeves are pretty thick though and I feel like that might be contributing to the wear on them. Haven't had any issues with wear at the front of the cowling, but I also don't have a cowling (1S), what skates do you use and is there any wear on the toe that might be contributing? My next purchase would be the Pro Laces Armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a wear item. I have conceded buying extra elastics.They would not warranty those items. The wear is why they now sell sleeves for the elastics.

Znowleopard Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What i probably end up doing is just buying the Pro Laces Armor when these wear out, the shock cord seems thicker so i hope it would give more resistance and last longer, thanks for the help anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff da goalie Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I bought multiple stuff from Jeff when it was just him selling on eBay. They were decent for the price, although durability was always a problem. But when he decided to scale up and hire multiple reps, that was when all the problems started. The knee blocks took forever, always with some excuse. Then everything started to be crappy (yes, their super elastic turned into bacon, just like any other). And any complaint the reps said "user error." So I gave up. I bought Pro Laces and never looked back. I think he tweaks stuff, but it's not worth the money and durability is an issue. Buy some shock cord and do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
