I've had my nylon professor strap installed on my Vaughn's using slick klips for a little while now. The lacing is a little tighter than it used to be on the face of the pad but it hasn't caused any issues the pad didn't already have (ripples on the face from the foam breaking down, frayed bindings, worn jenpro, overused elastic, etc.). Love the snug feel the strap provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 So update on the pad lacing with the new added professor straps - they have pulled a little tighter throughout the pad and have become a bit more loose where the straps are connected to them. No ill effects though and they are performing beautifully. This minor change in the lacing has occurred in roughly 4 skates a week since I added them. I have also pulled the lacing back to the way it was and then every 3-4 skates it does it again, so I have stopped worrying about it. Will update with some pics after tomorrow mornings skate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Well I do but wife might kill me) When I saw Kenesky was selling the rotation control/professor straps, I reached out and asked if they would sell me the Y strapping for the bottom of the pads too. I could just use that to mod my current pads to try it out. Mike at Kenesky was super helpful, sold me what I needed and even sent me some pics so I had an idea of how the strapping is attached to the pads. (I’ve been too lazy to drive to a store to check out new pads since my local store doesn’t carry goalie gear anymore.) Anyways, I went to work and installed/sewed in the new strapping, removed the leather straps and got it all buttoned up. Since this is just a test I have temporarily sewn in the new strapping and left the buckles that go with the old leather straps. If I like it, I’ll go back in and pull the buckles as well and permanently sew in the new stuff. I know this is really late, but I'm looking to do something similar on my Vaughn Velocity V6 1000 pads and was wondering what exactly you had ordered? Was it just the professor strap set and then asked for the y-strap, and that was it? Or was there any more to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The professor strap buttons in, the Y strapping you’ll need to sew in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creasecollector Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Nice job on the new strapping! Looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 The strap at the knee block is the professor strap, the bottom 2 straps are the Y strapping. So if you ask for those 2 things you will get all you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of picking some up for my Eflex 3's. I had a monster k-strap for my warrior G2's and loved how close the pad felt with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
