TheGoalNet Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 @IPv6Freely @Punisher Goalie - IMO, this is a matter of wearing your pads loose for rotation or tight for responsiveness. It's just a matter of personal preference. Brian's opted for rotation as stock. Sparks prefers a little extra grip in the butterfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeperton Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I'll go out on limb and say most younger goalies would prefer the nylon in the whole of the knee. I've had that as a standard of mine since the V1s. I'd say it's the most normal choice to make it stock nylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I didn't know about the possible different materials... kind of disappointed I went with stock nylon now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 For those who have ordered & received their Optik sets...how long did it take? I've seen some folks posting their new sets, with claims of early-to-mid-november orders... asking for a friend, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itis121 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Can someone tell me the difference between materials? So Bucky is not the same as their standard jenpro or its just the colour name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Bucky pads from a small manufacturer and I treated them with SnoSeal and it preserves the pads beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can do. I'll try and point out some different things that @TheGoalNet may have not touched on, otherwise it'll be reduntant. Here's what is different for comparison's sake: - FLX core - Double-T - 34"+1" (I believe @TheGoalNet set is 34"+1.5", correct me if I'm wrong) Also, let me know if there are specific shots you want.
