"Darling Spec" is shortened finger side plastic to (a) create a more square overall shape and (b) to make for a wider t-bridge, a unique "baseball glove" style break-in that is unlike any of the gloves in the line, and a few other small tweaks.

Air Force academy has lightning bolts on their pants like Tampa, this is supposed to play off the lightning bolt theme. From what I've been told this is actually very close to a potential design that almost got used for the SZ3 as the stock graphic. If you look at the silver section, the lightning bolts, it's actually pretty promenent and makes a unique design Link to post Share on other sites

TheGoalNet 1,319 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Here is Demko with the same graphic. You can tell this is a SZ graphic now and it's just coincidence that the AF ones look like Lundy Link to post Share on other sites
coopaloop1234 1,868 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think the stock graphic they ended up going with looks better. Especially since this graphic looks alot like the Razor graphic. Link to post Share on other sites

Pad on the right is Fly Core. You can see how Flex Core has more of a precurve This is why there's been confusion if Optik is a GNetik or SZ replacement. Both of these options should be available at retail stock so you don't need to go custom or wait until 2018 fall when the GNetik is updated with Optik features to get a flexible Optik PS everyone should thank @Brians_Joz - he's a big supporter of the site and has been fantastic with helping me with info to share with everyone!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Stock strapping - Lastest Smart Strap on Calf - 1 Big Elastic at Knee - 1 Small elastics at Knee - Knee can be work together or 1 across knee and 1 down on calf The outer rolls is basically aesthetic at this point. If you talk to Brian's they "removed it". I believe the one that exists is just so the pad doesn't look too weird. Link to post Share on other sites
