cwarnar Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Better look at that toe strapping. It looks like the velcro closure is at the back of the skate vs the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanG Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Here's the reveal of the Fusion FZ-1: https://jrzglobalsports.com/goalie-equipment-fusion-fz-1?fbclid=IwAR1q9k6oy2M8_QZiUOVeVeIAO8jOlCkXSbtY7kw8Rcwt0wyKx6yZb8JrpgM I like the look of this glove a lot more than the PZ-1, but I'm biased so I prefer one piece gloves.

cwarnar Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 That stock graphic is one of the busiest and less visually appealing of anything else on the market right now. The 1 piece glove, bindingless blocker and the tweaks to the pads have me interested tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig it. It takes a lot of cojones to go the ugly for ugly sakes design route. Making a stamp on the goalie market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big seven o Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 They look a lot like OPTIKs. Maybe it's the flat face, S-Curve, or graphics, I don't know. Anyways, they look very interesting and I'm sure that with a few custom specs, these could be one heck of a pad. Can't wait to see/get more info on these!

Making a stamp on the goalie market. I played around with the customizer. What's crazy is, all the individual rectangles have their own color zone. I almost think we should do a group buy for one set of the most bizarre color buildout we can collectively imagine. Full custom graphics start at $290 CAD up to $450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost think we should do a group buy for one set of the craziest color buildout we can imagine. Full custom graphics start at $290 CAD up to $450 I was playing around with that as well. It is neat that they offer very specified colour zones, too bad even with some honest trying, I felt like I couldn't get the graphic to work. Compared that to this atrocity that at least flows well enough together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared that to this atrocity that at least flows well enough together. If you look at the left pad (on our right), it kind of looks like a bastardized version of the Canadiens logo Feature-wise, the design and build quality of the pads looks really good. I would be nervous about ordering a set, as JRZ was never able to do a comfortable enough glove for my taste. Which brings me to another question I've always had - when they were contracted by Bauer, did Bauer do the designs or did they let JRZ handle everything?

Puckstopper Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 As I play with the customizer I'm able to come up with some really good looking designs. Yes, the stock graphic CAN be made into a truly ugly pad if you're not careful. On the other hand, with a bit of work some people are going to come up with absolutely gorgeous pads with this one.

I'll bet it doesn't get backlash though. Funny how that works. It's also cut and sew instead of printing like Bauer (not sure which one is more expensive), but the base price is very different: JRZ full set is $2150 CAD and Bauer pads alone are $2000 CAD with the full set being $3070 CAD according to Hockey Monkey Canada. Obviously they use different technologies and big companies like Bauer are going to charge more because of all the ancillary stuff (advertising, sponsorships, R&D, warranty, etc.) but the JRZ gear appears to be a very good deal nonetheless.

I have Pro laces, and loved the idea of having my lil squirts' names showing, but when I tried this in the dressing room, it felt funny. I chickened out and changed it before even stepping out of the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... base price point is very different. I was just poking the bear as Bauer's True Design pricing has bean called ridiculous and outrageous.

I've been looking into these quite a bit over the last couple days and they appear to be very Optik like in design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itis121 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 to be honest I'm kinda disappointed in the design. looking at the outside of pad, I thought the pad was going to have a more geometric design. The large curl disrupts the flow of the three large blocks going through the pad. tho with a little one100/total one inspiration and using most of the same polylines i made a geometric mock of a design. Am I the only one that thinks the strapping is similar to the vapors tune fit strapping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
