bunnyman666 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) I have modded a modern set of pads to be as flumpy as they can be: outer rolls are less dependable as springy and fewer hot rebounds. Now that I have paid more homage to Irbe, they’re ugly and flumpy. Flumpy pads RULE. Edited March 21, 2022 by bunnyman666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Flumpy angers the local hot shots, as they have trained goalies with not so many flumps. Happy as hell to serve!!! Edited March 29, 2022 by bunnyman666 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Added more flump to the thigh rise by stuffing some Dacron in the thigh. There could be temporarily hotter rebounds until the new flump settles and becomes flumpy. Pics to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Pads weren’t as flumpy with rebounds yesterday, but that’s okay. The five hole didn’t give up much. And the beautiful thing? These are flumpy enough without being super heavy like traditionally flumpy pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever seen the story of the guy who bought a custom Lefevre kit and realized after playing with it that it was finally too tall for him ? The dude went to his local shoe-maker/cobbler and asked him to cut the pads to be shorter ... Man I gotta find these photos again. The job was awful !!!

Initial Pads : Modified pads : That is abysmal. I am actually very capable of much nicer work; I am paying tribute to Irbe and the quick and dirty repairs from EQMs of days past. Arguably, a thigh rise trim is pretty simple to execute. There is no reason for it to look like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ran out of horse hair you could have just asked one of the local hot shots to help you use the Google and find some more… https://www.mjamsdenfurniture.com/product/horse-hair/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local repair shop is selling pro-stock Vaughns. They are beautiful, but the thigh-rise is like +3s. They offered free chop work if someone buys them. Now their work is impeccable and I'm sure it would come out better than these, but the thought of cutting pads like that makes me cringe. Reminds me of a guy who cut his G4 pads with a saw in between games during a tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a guy who cut his G4 pads with a saw in between games during a tournament. The only thing that becomes weird is the taper on the top of the thigh rise. It’s not all that advisable to cut more than 1.25” off unless you’re going to thusly taper the foam as well. I am certain if it’s a repair shoppe, it would look close to, if not better than factory.

The Teal Terror Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I loved Irbe, as if I haven’t mentioned it here before, big Sharks fan. He’s probably my number 2 all time. I’m hoping you have some lunging, sprawling poke checks channelling him!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
