insertnamehere Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Looks like JRZ is putting their focus elsewhere. Always sucks to have one less option, and I've really liked the JRZ set I've been using for the last couple months.

ilyazhito Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I agree. I wonder what current JRZ users will look for when it comes time to replace their gear. There are also the big boys, but I'm not sure how the modern Kenesky or McKenney pads compare to JRZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest pad in my opinion to the Fusions I'm currently using would be a Brian's Optik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 This is sad, but there is also NO shortage of domestically made gear which can be ordered less than the off shore pro gear from the big guys. From a business standpoint, the market is too bloated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmats30 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Definitely unfortunate. I took a chance on a "used" but basically brand new set of Fusion pads and love them! I was looking to save some money and get a matching set of gloves but I guess that won't work haha. Hopefully they eventually come back to the goalie business.

indykrap Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 That's a bummer. I had my eye on them for the next set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used fuzion 1 and fuzion 2 and my next custom gear would be brians again... nothing is better than primo for sliding. not even bauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the hard rebounds Bauer gives, and I'm curious if other small manufacturers have something similar. I hate having pucks (or balls) die just out of reach. The big boy rebounds go like this, from softest to hardest (True 12.2, CCM EFlex, Vaughn Velocity, Vaughn Ventus, Brian's GNetik, Warrior G6, True L20.2, CCM Axis 2, Brian's Optik, Bauer Vapour/Supreme). If JRZ was still around, I would expect their pads to be comparable to Brian's Optik, maybe Bauer Vapour when it comes to rebounds. Now that they're gone, I don't know who among the smaller manufacturers makes a good hard pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
