bunnyman666 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Update: I mention the blocker, and now it's radio silence, once again. I did not complain, I just wanted to know how much it was going to cost to replace the palm. I am cutting my losses and going to wait until August for Sara. She may be a bit more expensive (with the USD), but she will answer emails and talk to you about any problems. Again- Dave does good work, but it is clear that we are not going to be doing business together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-palming players gloves is pretty similar, it shouldn't be an issue. The only real difference between player gloves and goalie is the piece that is on the top of the finger gussets.

Again- I wanted to know about either fixing these or converting to conventional palm. Queue the Genesis song "No Reply at All". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How quickly have they worn out? For my goalie gloves there is usually no sign of wear besides paint rubbing off of posts (or stick) and me breaking through seams. Also, this isn't me judging you, I am just curious what is wearing as I have seen many people go through palms on player gloves but mine are always in much better condition.

bunnyman666 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I will photograph. As it is on the player fingers, not the palm itself on this blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking about the premature wear (and even offering to pay, not saying "replace my glove at your cost") is what gets radio silence from Dave. The palm is actually fine, it's the fingers. I stopped playing in this glove months ago because I was worried about protection if the material was wearing away this quickly. Yes- I tried sealing those spots. I had not used this glove for all that long. Again- I just figured that I should go traditional rather than player fingers. But when I enquired? Radio silence.

The only thing I could think of, and this is all just speculation, is having protection on each individual finger instead of having one piece for the index finger and one wide piece for the other other three.

cwarnar Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 I have the Bionic player fingers on my R12 Dave made for me. I went this route because on my previous R12 I was having issues with the finger protection collasping properly when I had my hand closed.

Mike24 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I borrowed an Eagle blocker years ago. It had the players glove fingers. I freakin loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonPost Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I now am also in the email pit with Dave. 6 emails exchanged within two days about getting an X-lite glove and R-12 blocker made. All design details hashed out then nothing. Sent another email offering to give a downpayment and still nothing. I could really care less about the blocker but my happiness level was at a peak when I learned I could get a new x-lite glove. I guess I'll keep checking in till he says yes of to buzz off.

You will get the "I work a regular job, plus this and I have two kids" yarn if you call him out on one of his instagram posts. End your frustration and look elsewhere. He is a flake, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Ouch lol. Tough spot to be in. I totally get that this is only his side gig and still has family to worry about but If he is active on social media then use that platform to spread word that you are backed up and will no longer take on jobs until you are caught up. Same thing Keeps does. This way you don't get people constantly messaging you and you can't respond. Idk, I definitely feel for both sides.

I admit I am being harsh, but the second I asked him about the player fingers, he stopped answering my emails, plus it took me calling him out on social media to get response about the Heaton glove. Just very frustrated by him. I work two jobs and have a chronically ill spouse, but I take care of business. And if I can't- I am very upfront about it.
