Scythe Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Anybody ever do something that later made you think about what you were smoking? I don't do it too much. All I can think of is changing a mask chin cup to a football helmet cup and for some reason just didn't work out.

johncho Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I tried a chin sling and it seemed ok until I got into a game with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Results may vary on the sling. I have one in all my masks and couldn't fathom going back to a cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeperton Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 When I was a young teenager I tried to make my own calf and knee rises out of very low density foam. I didn't stitch them into the pads, nor use anything other than how they fit into their slots and straps to hold them in place; they fell out almost immediately and were too low density to do anything.

johncho Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Yeah I think the main reason is that I have a square jaw/rounder face and the chin sling put a lot of pressure on the side of my chin (mainly on two pressure spots), and I couldn't adjust anything to alleviate the pressure. Whereas the chin cup that I have spreads out the pressure on a wider surface, and I could adjust the length to perfect eh fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 @johncho different strokes for different folks for sure. Probably "helps" that I'm using a custom molded lid to begin with so the fit is more dialed in from the get go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what brand of chin sling you've got, but I got the EcoProFoam from goalieparts.com and it has two hole options. One of them I found horribly uncomfortable, the other like a warm hug.

Chenner29 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Worst mod for me... Adding thicker knee stacks to my Koho 560s in the early 2000s. I cut up a padded Heaton practice jersey (rip), and attached it to the knee wing using double sided velcro. It lasted through warmups but fell off 3 mins into the game.

Puckstopper Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Not really a mod, but back in the day my first custom set was from Battram. I asked for a one-off graphic that didn't turn out quite like the drawing I sent (not his fault, I should have been clearer) an extra set of knee stacks (back when you laced in multiple sets to build your knee stack to the desired height) and a godawful XLP catch glove that was 2" bigger than old NHL legal. Not only did that thing weigh a ton, but I couldn't catch for beans with it. Bigger isn't always better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I've done a few stupid mods over the years that I clearly question after the fact. They made sense until after it was done I'm sure legends like Lefevre and John Brown and Pete Smith also had their wtf-did-i-just-do moments before their brilliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
