bunnyman666 Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 I don’t know if Shock Doctor makes a kevlar cup, but they make Titanium, so it could be a Shock Doctor product. I wear a Kustom kevlar cup moulded from the old steel Cooper goalie cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing you view it as a potentially better version of a Vaughn makes sense. I’m in a similar boat to you, what I have is working. I’ll be very curious to hear people’s opinions who buy one. Does it work well, delivered within the 4 weeks, and how’s the durability? The piece I am most curious about is the Kevlar cup? The fit and finish in the picture looks a little suspect. Is Monster making these 1 off in house or were they produced by someone with composites experience? (Or does Monster have that?) I am also interested because it uses Maltese and a Kevlar cup. I am currently using a very bulky Vaughn unit and this seems more streamlined while potentially being more protective. As @ULTIMA suggests, I am a sucker for new gear so I’ll prob take the plunge and preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman30 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I am interested too but am I going to get it when it's supposed arrive or 4 months down the road ? The kevlar cup is interesting for sure, it adds another $40 to the price listed. I thought it was already included in the listed price. May just source out the kevlar cup on its own and add it to what I have already. My other issue to, is how is the durability going to be ? Is it going to hold up or break down fairly quick like most of the other stuff ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Great stuff! That makes me think OTNY is producing it gives it some credibility. Maybe I’m lucky, knock on wood, but I haven’t had any cup issues. I fully understand buying a better mouse trap, if you can’t tell, but is it a consensus that people think their cups’ suck?

I started wearing a kevlar cup when I was playing defense. After two shots blocked in the jewels, there was no way that I was EVER risking it again.

I bought a Brown jock that’s still sitting in the closet because it’s way too big. Ive been meaning to replace mine and this looks like a good candidate.

Honestly the jock itself largely doesn’t matter assuming it’s comfortable. Having a Maltese lined Kevlar cup with an outer pad of Maltese over it sounds like a really good option to me.

I would think that a majority of users will ditch the belly pad and second cup if they use the kevlar cup. Take it from a long-time user of the Kevlar cup (as the one you’d be buying is just like mine)- you will love it if you take a bomb in that spot.

I may dump the belly pad just because I'm fat so it'd all get pushed down by the gut, but the second cup (which isn't actually a cup from what I can tell, and is just a thick outer maltese wrap basically) I'd likely use. I was going to buy that kevlar cup anyway and just open up my reactor jock and put it in, but never did it. This thing looks like a better option. The Optik jock was the other one I was considering. I really liked the shape of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPv6Freely Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I just pre-ordered. Might as well give it a try if I was in the market for a new jock anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went with (what I think is) a cool color combo and with the pre order you get the belly pad and double cup but I went for the Kevlar cup too. I’m hoping to not need the double cup or belly pad to get the slimmest option possible while still being protective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff da goalie Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 1) I wouldn't buy any Monster product again. Between the lack of quality control, durability, responsiveness and customer service, I wouldn't waste my money. 2) I've never found jocks to be problematic in terms of size. I've had a Brown, and now am in a Bauer that's a few years old and never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAngle41 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 After that video I get the feeling this was made as part of a dare... Some guy in a bar: "Betcha can't make something as simple as a jock the most complicated piece of equipment a guy is wearing... and to top it off you have to use no less than 6ft of velcro." Monster: "Challenge accepted." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
