Adri Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hi evrybody, I need some help, well I live to switzerland and i prospect for change glove, blocker and pads. Currently I have bauer S150 for the gloves and a CCM retroflex 550 SR for the pads. So on goalie monkey lot of spring discount but I’m far away and I need to take the good choice because to make a return is not really possible for me. I have a chest and arms and pant by Warrior and I love it, so I want continue with this brand. For the gloves is ok have made my choice but for the pads for about the same price I’m not sure by 2 models : Ritual G4 SR or Ritual G3 Pro? And I want to know for customs the colors is only on the Pro Custom series? Thank’s and sorry for my English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Roy's Wink Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Alright so I had a chance to use my G4s tonight. I used both the ARS toe and boot. The pads sit really high on me and the top inner corner of the pads were constantly touching each other, even when I wasn't in my stance. So my next question is, how can I get my pad to sit a bit lower and stop the pads overlapping each other so much. My G1s were 34 + 1.5 and my G4s are 34 + 1. Bummed out that the red is already flaking away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither will be massive differences, but probably enough to keep you happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Roy's Wink Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Thanks. I just finished reading the pro lace thread. I'll probably end up ordering this weekend. Just need to decide if I want the hybrid or original prolace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88goalie Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 @Patrick Roy's Wink love your setup, clean lines and great color combination. Did I see those on Instagram? Waiting on my order and was wondering how game ready was the glove? Also any more skates, have you been able to tweak things to your liking?

Yeah that's my set on Warriors instagram. The glove's closure out of the box was pretty good. I've been breaking it in by keeping it closed one day using a baseball glove wrap and opened another day with a piece of wood. I've only had 2 skates in the pads so far. The second skate was better than the first but I'm still tweaking it. My summer season starts in May so I have to wait a little longer than I would have liked.

The slack will make the pad fit off the skate more (making it feel shorter) and it also feels a lot more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88goalie Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Just got my custom G4 set yesterday and can’t wait to use them coming from Pete Smith (I think 6000 pads with adjustable thigh rise). The Warrior knee guards are going to be a big adjustment I have tried them once and the top part kept sliding down. Also do you all use the knee strap across or down to the calf?

Nohtaram Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @88goalie Regarding knee guards I strongly recommend use hockey socks on top of them and tape above and under mid plate. That way they should stay in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88goalie Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @Nohtaram I did try them with tape last time. The lower part of the Warrior knee guard stayed firmly in place and felt good, but even putting a wrap of tape below the top portion would not keep it from sliding down. I did have hockey socks over the knee pad also. Sorry not trying to turn this thread into a knee pad thread. Hoping to get these on the ice tomorrow night and add some better feedback.

dreadlocked1 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 For my warrior kneepads, I use a hockey sock girdle tied to the tops of the kneepads to hold them up. No tape, no hockey socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF Levesque Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Same as last response, i tie the upper part up with no tension. I used before skate lace that was tied to my cup. I just bought undergear that as velcro to keep socks up and i tie it to that. See pictures. You can do it with girdle also. But i find the key is not to have tension to have to make your muscle waste energy fighting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to help: -From what I recall, G4 SR has the same internals as G3 Pro, so definitely go with G4 Sr. You also get new tech in Airslide and Active Drop that G3 does not have. -Correct, custom colors are only available on the Pro series.

88goalie Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I have had a few skates with the new gear, first impressions. Blocker is nice, super light and easy break in. Catcher is going to take a little while to break in for sure but should be good when it is. Pads feel good, still playing with how tight to strap them, and whether to wear the knee strap behind the knee or at the calf, what are the advantages / disadvantages? Pads feel good, but knee pads still feel like too much. Where do you all wear them, under socks or over? Also socks have been catching profile lock on pads and undoing the profile lock. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help. I wear knee pads on top of my compression pants and don't find to have any issues. Granted, I use the RGT's, so no profile lock to worry about. For the the knee strap, strapping behind the knee allows for a closer, tighter feel, while down to the calf loosens it up a bit. Also, strapping to the calf removes any issues with the strap or flap interfering with your kneepads/pants. Honestly, try both for 2-3 skates and see what you like better. It ultimately boils down to how it feels for you and what you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
