Would love to see what ends up being different. I'd guess stabilislide will become a staple of all future lines until it's determined it's not ideal or some there's something else that could/should be used. Personally I’m hoping they don’t put the new knee block on these. Don’t get me wrong it’s incredible it’s just not for everyone. I have a feeling some guys who are buying vapor expect a pad that doesn’t feel as boxy as supreme does and the knee block multiplies the boxiness by huge amounts.

Post Od1n Bauer pads are all boxy. Since the 2X abandoned the lower hand placement on the blocker and the 3S adopted the Vapour strapping system, the only real differences are boot flex and the catch angle on the glove. Would not be surprised to see the stabilislide carry over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCZ Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Has anyone tried out the Ultrasonic leg pads on ice? I'm really interested/curious in the impact/performance of the stabilislide knee block. Is this something that'll be "revolutionary" or something that'll end up like a gimmick like the magnetic buckles on the VE8? Thanks in advance for opinions.

To be (un)fair - You know Vaughn has run out of ways to milk the Velocity line when their biggest innovation to the pad was (A) to put magnetic buckles and (B) to produce a stitch for stitch copy of a CCM 590 break. The buckles would never stay in place while playing, and I've seen a few examples of them popping out and disappearing while on a retailer's show room.

ULTIMA Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I just heard this today, not sure if it's old news. Could be a rumor, heard there's talks of True & Lefevre partnering up. Possibly merging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be a running joke of, "did you hear Tommy Salo got traded?" It's basically, "old news/deja vu." If I recall, anyway. It's been a long time since my GSBB days.

raucebyalien Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Ok, so I can't do NHL sitings with the postponements, but heres some KHL training camp sitings that people might appreciate! - Julias Hudacek (Spartak Moscow) in the Lefebvre 4.1s - Dimitri Shugayev...I think... (Severstal Cherepovets) in the Axis - Ilya Ezhov (Vityas) in the heavily customised Brians - Jan Kovar (Avtomobilist) in the Optik 2's w/G-netik graphic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was curious about that too, but it’s actually a mark hockey blocker.. haven’t heard of them before.

raucebyalien Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Good spot - I initially thought it was a Miklin with a new logo / graphic set up too. He's normally in a Vaughn blocker, so I'm guessing its a ventus clone. He actually had a really nice set of Optik 2's made last year when the CCM / Lefevre split was happening, don't think they ever saw game action though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
