No idea how to define that, but yes, it's a stiffer core and it should maintain the stiffness longer too in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 One underated way to make a stock graphic really pop. Love the use of Jenpro, Weave and Matte on this set. Matte grey looks sick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning a visit to see @TGC-Rance and figure out which route is better for me For me, they just played too boxy. Of course, this is exactly what they're designed for and they play that style extremely well. Growing up in Vaughn, I definitely want my pads to move with me more, and thats what Gnetik does. Also, I found there's still a strong case for a traditional outer roll. Noticed quite a few pucks skipping or almost skipping over because of it. Maybe just my technique, but with the traditional outer rolls, it never happens to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in GT Pros right now and may look for a stiffer pad (GT2 with a solid outer roll and hypercomp may work) but the Optik 2 and G5 are on my radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not making an Attack of the Clones claim here, you can pick any 3-4 year window and see graphics from different companies that have a similar feel, this was just bugging me until I realized what it reminded me of.

Also, I thought of the graphic from McKenney's XPG1 line that came out earlier this year. Very similar as well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeperton Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I'm willing to bet the O2 blocker will be absolutely amazing. I love the Optik blocker as is, just needs a couple tweaks here and there (mostly the sidewall needs some stiffness). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
