It actually did come off the other day just covering a puck. I crank the stock strap down so tight it pulls the padding through the loop. I think we're all in the same boat when it comes to the Mach strapping lol. I've fallen back on the zip tie method and it's been the best so far, but that's not saying much. It's a big part of the reason I'm going back to a Warrior mitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you point me to the zip tie method? Yeah, it's unfortunate. I'm chalking it up to another one of those problems Bauer invented and solved without it actually being a problem....I get the intention and I guess I'm somewhat on board, but this system fails pretty hard. It's like it goes one step too far under the justification of "maximum wrist mobility." I'd love something like "75% more wrist mobility", haha. Otherwise the glove feels great and I really love it. There are a ton of HL2 gloves near me that I may go flirt with, or, I wonder what the Mach 2 will be like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at Bauer Mach Set - Initial Impressions & Long Term Review it’s the last quote in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see, so even though it moves the pressure point closer to the fingers than the lower loop it allows the strap to be cranked down tighter than either of the loops?

Not really. It's about the same. It's just the connection point is better. The issue with the Mach system is that all they essentially did was delete the wrist strap, but failed to actually adjust the attachment point. The Zip tie method makes it closer to Warrior, which is still hands down the best wristless glove and it's not even close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is a close call like this to quickly change one's mind. Buddy and his brother have bought bubbles and are going to use them moving forward.

ThatCarGuy Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Not sure if this is just me but I noticed when catching pucks on the glove side of my body I tend to close the glove 580/thumbs up style but when catching more actively with my hands far out in front of me I catch the puck more first baseman/pinch/600 style. That would probably explain why it's hard for me to find a glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
