Madmedic6 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) After putting off this project for a few months I finally got around to getting it done. I source the crossform strap from a 581 glove that I deconstructed for "science". I removed the factory true wrist wrap by trimming the thread tying it to the palm area. Then I tried to use the factory attachment strap that goes under the palm but it was way too long. I then attempted to shorten it by sewing the strap shorter rather than making a new one. When they didn't work I ended up using left over lacrosse lacing to loop into the perimeter cord and foam of the back hand strap. The mobility feels way better than the factory true wrist strap. Only downfall is that the true nylon wrist strap is more interior than the ccm so it won't go as tight, which is fine for me. I guess we shall see how it goes.

TheGoalNet Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 This is a hot option at Pro... Markstrom and Big Save Dave use it. Have any more pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get some tomorrow morning when I get home from work. One other thing I forgot to mention is that I am using the strap inverted as to how it's attached on the 581 as the nylon wrist strap is further towards the wrist on the true. But the mobility is still way better than that of the factory true wrist strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Dave is just in a full on 581. Did you mean skinner? Edited March 1 by ThatCarGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Sorry, can you take like a picture showing the whole backhand? It's very zoomed in and I wanted a clean look at the whole back. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old 2nd over hand strap is still there as I'm using it and an anchor for the top Velcro strap on the crossform strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froese Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Ahhh, okay now I get it. I was confused at first too but now it makes sense. The way you've inverted the crossform strap is interesting. I can see how that actually might work quite well. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmedic6 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Finally got around to trying it and it worked really well. Kept my hand secure and let me have rull ROM. My only gripe is if I pull the fronts to tight it pulls the strap forward and digs into my thumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
