Brian’s Gnetik X

[A.YOUNGoalie13]

With spring nearing, Brian’s will be releasing their retail version of the gnetik 4s!!! Hopefully some of you are as excited as I am.

Sorry - what was that you were saying...? I was busy packing my G-Netik IVs for my next game. Oh - excited for the X...? No, not really .

Primo sliding surface is a pretty sweet inclusion!  Looks like a great option for those of us who don’t need the full-on pro quality gear.

My 10 year old is very excited actually.

My highschool job budget said no but got excited when it saw these

Very excited to see primo sliding surface make it down to the sr level gear. Hopefully retains same price point as Optik 9.0/Gnetik 8.0. 

@A.YOUNGoalie13 i'm working 2 jobs, and my budget still isn't much better. Not all of us can afford pro gear nor do we want used gear.

To be fair, I waited until I was 39 to try playing goalie - and then sorta convinced my wife that these could sorta be a 40th/Christmas/41st present- lol! The way I see it, I went WITHOUT buying gear for years - decades, even - so why splurge? 
 

And as long as I’m being honest here, I still find any new Brian’s release exciting!

How long did it take you to draw on those puck marks?

Draw on? Pfft! I laid them down against the garage door and shot pucks at them. More authentic than the sharpie method.

That would mean you actually had a shot.

You know me man - I always appreciate a good Coop joke, but I can't figure this one out. I even rolled over in the bed, and asked your fiancée, but she didn't get it either...

Does anyone have on-ice experience with Brian’s senior level catchers?  It seems like their senior level pads get high marks, but I haven’t heard much about the gloves.  I realize that you miss out on BOA with the Optik 9.0 and G-NETik X, but how has the protection been?  I’m torn between waiting for the Warrior GT3 stuff next year or perhaps jumping on this offering from Brian’s.  Truth be told, I really don’t need new gear, but I want it, and once that seed is planted...
 

Also, @Brians_Joz, I see in the catalog that the Senior sizes start at 33+1”, but I’ve seen certain retailers offering 32+1” (my size) in previous Sr. lines when 33+1” was the smallest per catalog.  Did any retailers order the shorter pad?

My kid runs the Alite stuff in Varsity High School, no issues at all with protection
