Compared to the 20.2. I've tried on both and the px3 seemed to have a shorter boot, and sat a little differently on the skate but maybe I was just imagining that.

In addition to the newer composite internals, does the px3 have a shorter boot as well? Short which way? Height above skate? Length from ankle break?

The px3 (actually 9x3 was what I had in front of me) boot looked/felt shorter. But you guys would know better, just an impression I got.

But you guys would know better, just an impression I got. Since the NHL moved to LDS sizing, most boot lengths are pretty standard now. I think it's 7" across the board in all sizes across all manufacturers. I think the trend moved like this: LDS instituted > goalies started shaving boot length and adding to thigh > league mandated minimum boot length of 7" > goalies started experimenting with boot strap and skate interactions (ie. Lundy loop)/calf setups/professor straps/FRS to have pad sit up higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20.2 is tempting me because there's some good sales right now and I literally bought my Eflex 6's a few months ago, haha. We don't all get the employee discount!

Probably has a lot to do with the boot break angle between the two models and how you look at the pad straight on FWIW, I do "feel" the boot break a lot more in Px3 than I did in 20.2. You can probably wait til the new line comes out to get 20.2 at a better price. There's still a big quality difference between Lefevre and offshore 20.2s in what I've seen so far.

That's interesting I hadn't heard that before, that there were tangible differences. Is there something specific in the off-shores that they don't do as well or just an overall feel?

Hzrdus should be hitting stores relatively soon, so 20.2 will likely drop in price pretty dramatically if that’s the direction you want to go.

I'll try to find some domestics in store and compare them. And I'll try to remove the 20.2's I've currently got in my online cart, haha.

Yup, I think it's showing 9-11 weeks at the moment and hopefully it will be even less than that. 2 hours ago, Novasteel31 said: Nice pick, I'm almost a year in with mine now and love them.
