loki1416 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Dumb question: Does the break really matter? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, I'm genuinely asking. I tried on Brians, CCM, Vaughn, and Bauer gloves to see which felt the best on my hand. I know that each has a different break. But honestly, I didn't really feel a difference besides how hard/easy they were to close (keep in mind, these are on the shelf gloves that hadn't been broken in or heat molded and also take into account all I was looking for was protection and how the glove sat on my hand).

coopaloop1234 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Man, every glove, even with the same break all feel different. For me, gloves and C/A's are the hardest to buy for as I can be incredibly picky when it comes to them. So you may be one of the few, but many goalies are incredibly anal about their gloves.

They're good pads. Played in V4's forever. And yea, this was before vaughn started to put one piece cores into their pads. They'll have settled.

estogoalie Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Regarding V4's...which ones? Vaughn started "branching" the Velocity lines around that time...they aren't exactly the same pad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki1416 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 So got my order in and it'll take 8-9 weeks for the custom order. Didn't do anything fancy, went pretty much all black (never had all black, thought it'd be fun to try) and went to a double break. Prices listed below are after the 10 or 15% discount I got. Legs $1,530.00 Glove $465.00 (went with the game glove, not the XP that has the extra padded palm, figured thats the practice glove) Blocker $335.00 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki1416 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 @estogoalie Going by looks alone, I'd go with the black/red/white over the yellow/blue/white. Other than that, don't know anything about the V4's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thst boot looks buttery. I'd definitely go the route of measuring an inch higher than reebok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres_Guy Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Anyone know when we can expect a customizer for the V8 line? or when they will be in stores to get a good look at them? I was set on getting a set of Optics but that V8 pad looks mighty interesting. Weight is a large factor for me as I always liked Vaughn gloves and blockers but not the pads which seemed to weight a ton in comparison to my Subzero 1's I have been using for years. Bought a new set of pads 2 years back (Bauer Reactor 6000's) to replace the Subzero's but 9 months in I actually had to switch back to the Subs. The weight and balance between the 2 was too much to overcome. Never believed something like that would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I move on my feet and drop and get up and move in most sliding situations. Sliding too much (or much at all) to me, throws off my balance and screws up my positioning. Hell I used to put tape on my knee landings of some of my old pads to keep sliding to a minimum. That's why if I go the Optik route I will demand in the largest lettering possible on an order form for regular jenpro on the inside edge only.

Unsolicited suggestion: You could also ask for Nylon knee wings on the sliding edge - it will feel tackier on the ice than tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And say that $900 mark is CDN as well, spending $250 more for a C/A that is just a slightly updated version of the V6 is a sure fire way to price themselves out of the market. Again, I doubt it.

Hills Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I can see $250 for a beef up package. My Brown had significant added cost for Bob spec but it wasn't $250. I can see Vaughn charging that since their will have to hit margins for retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
