Hockey34 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) @seagoal here’s my stock Mach Edited August 21 by Hockey34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravitas Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 US with US stiffness vs Mach with Mach stiffness. US was used for about 2 years, Mach was either: new out of the box or less than 5 skates. Doesn't look like a radical difference, but it felt like one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Appreciate the pics guys. Here are some of my Bauer M5s, just for comparison. You can kinda see the warping from leaning here, it's on the inside top corner of each pad but it's really subtle and difficult to capture on camera And here is a wear point on my right blocker-side pad. Not sure what it's from but it started very early and only in this spot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Quick question - which out of the 3 Bauer gloves (Mach, Hyperlite, V90) is closest in shape to a Warrior G6 (ignoring the internals/liner options). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperlite but no bauer glove will even remotely feel or play the same as warrior as me and @coopaloop1234 found out the hard way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE the way my warrior G5 feels and closes but, like @ThatCarGuy stated you will be chasing the dragon for forever if you are trying to get a glove that feels like it. I went for G5 to mach and even though they are supposed to be same break the mach felt like i was holding a can on my hand not like the crisp snap of the warrior. I still want to try on the HL2 to see if it feels closer since its more of a whole hand close than fingers. Warrior to me feels like snapping a book shut with a very sharp break in my palm. I like using whole hand closure vs. fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in Warrior gloves since the G3, had a Hyperlite 1 - couldn't get used to it so I went to a G5. Recently got a digiprint Hyperlite set with the V90 glove and its nice, but just not the same level of mobility/snappyness and again struggling with adapting to the pocket position. Guess I'm Warrior for life on the glove side - digiprint for them when?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last remaining hope as warrior glove users is that ccm comes through with a 601 since that would probably be the most similar glove design and feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really minded the 600 break from ccm or true as long as they're broken in properly. In theory a 601 with finger loops would allow us to move the finger position just like warrior's replaceable palms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is I prefer the 580 closure but hate the 580 shape. Maybe I need to force myself to use a 580 and get used to it who knows Edited August 23 by ThatCarGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many skates do you have in these? I've had the set since early May and I play 3 times a week, plus a weekend tournament in these. The knee cradle gets completely soaked everytime I play. I have an abnormal physiological condition where I sweat tremendously when overheated or exercising and related to that, I go through 2 32 oz water bottles every time I play and a good portion of that gets sprayed in my face or in my jersey. So, they collect a lot of moisture and it's just from the abrasion from my knees when wet. Just about 100% of my gear is completely saturated every time I play (a huge reason why stock Mach glove strapping fails me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
