Overdrive Blades

[bunnyman666]

I am the self-appointed promoter of this great product. I am also an official dealer for these at my new skate shoppe. 

The NHL has obviously banned these, and for most of you, you can wear what you want. Most other leagues do not know what an Overdrive Blade is. Some of you may even write these off as “cheaters”. That is up to you. 

These would not be necessary or practical on the Vertexx or Step hybrid goalie skate holder, though a solution could come in the future. 

I mainly use these to prevent “boot out” in the ready stance. I have NEVER slipped out and hurt my groin in the ready stance. I have found they help in deperation saves when the foot is not quite in the position to dig in for a push in the butterfly. In short, I probably don’t use these to their full potential.

I am happy to answer any questions about these blades from a user’s perspective. I can also fill orders for the U.S. and install if you’re willing to come to my shoppe. 

Coming will be a few photographic examples for how these can help with injury prevention.

Besides the owner/creator, I don't think anyone else is either.

There are some flash videos of John doing some crazy stuff with the blades on.

Yep- saw those vids, which is particularly why I say that I don’t use them to their full potential.

John’s a great bloke!

Found a price on the Swiss cowlings, and they cost MORE than most boots!!!!

@TheGoalNet I can’t find the thread where I threatened to make my own cowlings!

[TheGoalNet]

@bunnyman666 is the Bobs True Skate thread on the True forum 

please share there if it’s public info

I've been using these for years and my groin thanks me. I just put on Extreme Step Steel the other day though and found that I need them less than before, but they're still nice to have.

Good to know that another has found the injury preventing benefits of these great items!

Mounting is pretty simple. I will show a pic later.

As far as on-ice feel, if mounted correctly, you hardly notice them until you are close to slipping out. 

What skate and cowling do you have? 

[Znowleopard]

Bauer Supreme one.7 with the standard cowlings

Could you post a pic of the bottom of the cowling where the blade would be mounted?

You don’t have the Vertexx cut out. I will show pix tonight as I have a cowling like yours.

Where I’d mount them:

 

You would remove that top rivet; but then you would replace with 3 screws and T bolts:

 

* blue/black finish was applied by me and is NOT the standard Overdrive Blade finish. I can guide you through that blue/black if you want.
