Hockey34 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Mine would be my vapor 2x glove, I hated the single t and the break. I had it for a couple months couldn’t catch a puck with it to save my life so I bought a supreme 2s pro now I have a mach and will never go back to a 590 glove.

ThatCarGuy Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 True/CCM 580s. Despise the shape and it has never clicked for me when it comes to catching pucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Reebok Revoke for a good 6 months that was essentially a second blocker, could not catch a thing with it. Have never wanted to go back to a 590 since! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fever9990 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 KOHO skates, my feet are hurting just by thinking about them. They were worst then the clunky Bauer's I wore in the70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubby34 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Lefevre gloves, and leg pads to a smaller extent. Their Catchers tho, man do they fuggin suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Not sure I contributed yet but... BAD: Tack 452 skates. Horrible pain!! Did some nerve damage to my big toe, took a full year to be able to feel it again. Good: This is a hard one. I loved my Brown 503 c/a. It got wrecked in a flood and I had to throw it out. My Fleury pro-return H5 c/a. Sold it to upgrade. My Eagle Pro-return TT10 glove with mostly corduroy, light as heck. My Jofa glove from the late 80s, the one with the outside finger stalls. Sold it out of frustration . A tie between my Eagle PMW1 Kotyk Pro-return pads and my Heaton Helite-Z asymmetric design. Both were terrible for the modern butterfly slides but kicked ass in the old school/hybrid department. The list could go on lolll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the piece of gear I abandon the quickest........teehee. For me it's the Bauer P31, CCM Crawford/182-2/P4, Warrior Bishop/TWT/W33 curves... I can't shoot with the banana! Give me the nice heal-wedge curve of the P34. I can get away with the Price curve, but I don't like the lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Lefebvre gloves. The Reebok glove I got when I started playing in goal was horrible. I couldn't close it properly after 3 years of use! Runner up are Vaughn chest protectors. I had an old Vaughn Vision, then a newer Vaughn V7 Pro Carbon, and finally a pro return unit. I got stingers to the arms like they were no one's business.

Mr Smurfington Posted Sunday at 03:17 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:17 PM Brand new here guys, but this thread speaks to me. Ironically, the Warrior Quick mid curve sticks are my jam, and i have an absolute bullet and very good long distance pass accuracy using them and buy any I see just cause they are hard to find now. As far as gear I dont like.. Really, Lefevre and Bauer gloves. I was at least able to get a Reebok P3 glove to act as a glove but my god the Bauers I just found to be completely unable to function with. Wouldn't close, wouldn't catch, and genuinely just had no idea how it was passed off as high end gear. I'd also go with any pants that are not Tacklas. I dont know what magic those guys did with their pants but anything and everything else just feels too bulky and interferes with mobility that I never experienced in Tacklas.

Try Perani's. The damned Mid/Quick pattern is all they order Warrior sticks in apparently. I'm legitimately amazed they work for you, because I have absolutely no clue how to do anything with them. It's not like I can only use one pattern, I like both the Bishop and Mrazek patterns from Warrior and use 4-5 different patterns fairly interchangeably when I skate out. I swear, I'd legitimately be better off playing with a full right stick and playing the puck backhanded than fumblefarting around with a Quick curve. It's embarrassingly bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonder35 Posted Monday at 07:59 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:59 PM (edited) Lange Goalie Skates from the early 80's . The outer boot was a multiple piece shell of grey/black plastic riveted at the ankle, with built in blades. The inner boot was a separate item and was easily removed. The whole concept was based upon ski boots. The quality was 3 steps below shite. The boots wore out quickly and were very uncomfortable. A fellow goalie I played with eons ago would wear only socks inside of the skate shell because his inner boots wore out and he wasn't able to find replacements. I can only imagine the pain, discomfort and lack of support. Yes, I owned a pair, briefly. Ughhhh Very similar to Microns.
