goalieworld35 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 About a year ago I bought bungee cord at Home Depot. I modified my Pro Laces and switched the cord. Its actually the same width as the one from HD. They only sell black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been having a wear issue on the cord sheathing in my Vertexx holders (both on Pro Laces and HALs) but haven't experienced it at all with the Vertexx Edge. Due to the lack of wear lately I went ahead and ordered another set of non-armored Pro Laces but wanted your thoughts on how you feel it has helped or gone unnoticed.

TheGoalNet Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 @BadAngle41 no issues. I have only ever used them with Vertexx edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyGrips13 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think it’s time I try a bungee-style toe-tie attachment. Although putting on the pad quickly is an added benefit, my main goals would be allowing for less strain on the hips and performance advantages. So after reading through this thread and the Prolaces vs. Monster thread, I’m leaning toward Prolaces. My question is, which model should I choose? I wear Graf 750 Goaler Pros with the Cobra cowling. I wear Simmons 586 pads. I’m sure you’re aware that the Cobra cowlings are pretty cumbersome. The 586 pads are soft and actually have torsional flex. I use regular cord toe-ties with no slack, but I still get rotation without injury due to the taper on the boot of the pad and the overall torsional flex throughout the pad. So do I chose standard or armor? If I went standard it appears I’d need to go custom if I wanted red, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 @WillyGrips13 - The Pro Laces Armor appear to be the most durable set on the market. The elastic inside does not change and will not change anything with rotation. I like the Armor because I have yet to see any wear on mine.

Not only because they skate lace will protect the cord better, but because it looks cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 You would be fine with either. Armor is just offers a little more protection for the cord itself. They both function the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyGrips13 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I did order the Armor version and used them tonight for the first time. The only thing I noticed was it seemed like I had slightly more give to my pads during the butterfly. I’m glad there was little adjustment and I hope this will help with allowing better performance and less joint soreness. Tonight’s skate was a skills clinic. I’ll debut them in a game on Monday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I experienced that when I had Graf skates & cowlings as well as when I slapped on Vertexx cowlings to the Graf boot (but used the Graf screws to hold the cowling on.) Currently with my cowlingless skates I've had no issues w/ wear on the standard Pro Laces... but the Armour would never hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how long you've had them, but wouldn't hurt to send a note to Pro Laces. Ended up just fixing them myself with an iron. Tried my best to keep them straight without burning my hand. The stitching isn't much of a concern, it holds on just fine. Edited June 2, 2018 by Aquilzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wish I went for the red skate lace Looks really nice! Is your name/number on both straps (one on each side) or just 1 on one pad and your name on the other? 52 minutes ago, TheGoalNet said: @Aquilzz - contact Michel if you have issues. He’s a great guy and I’m sure he’ll help you in anyway he can It's funny, because I did the other night. Being the impatient person I am, I just went ahead and ironed them back together as I assumed they were heat pressed on and he gave me the same advice! He also suggested using pad wrap to cover the wear area in the toe bridge (which was ironically caused by me putting clear tape in an effort to try and PREVENT wear), but I do not know where to find it in such a small quantity.

Mroy31 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Armor model with custom Potvin graphic. Only used once, but didn't have the kind of snow build up I used to get on my HALs with the sleeves on them. Also extra long so I can put them through the front and back holes in my 1S runner before wrapping over the laces.

There isn't any HD foam in the 2S toe bridge (1S on left), so just used skate lace to tie them in. I will probably do a bit better job and burn off the edges, but I like it well enough. Similar to how @TheGoalNet ties his in. I might source some HD foam eventually, but this seems to work for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urabus33 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 is the an option for added length on pro-laces? i bought stock ones from my store and they're rather tight on my 1 piece skates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
