You're in M5 Pro right now? Mach stiffness is stiffer than the M5 pad IIRC. You may prefer Ultrasonic stiffness instead if you like thr way the M5 feels.

Not sure how your Bauer experience is going and I know you went stiff even in your Vaughns but 2x Pro flex is even pretty stiff, at least for me coming off Hyperlite

My goalie coach’s son’s new setup. Goalies plus always has some deadly exclusive spec/colorways available (even in full right)

More to come very soon… fire away with questions 

 

 

Aside from the part of the neck guard that actually goes around the neck, could the shirt technically replace rest of the neck guard?

Any pricing on the pants? And will this all be Pure exclusive?

Oh and most importantly, for @coopaloop1234’s sake, how small of parts can the cup pouch hold? Like xxxxxxs?

You have to give us 5,500 more reasons why you're so great. 

I would but I would hate to bore you with the 5,500 examples of why I’m better than the alleged current best member

Hills and IPV6 both left early 2018. So before Seagoal joined and before a younggoalie was born. 

Not sure how but I actually remember IPV6freely. Maybe I just looked at an old forum once that he was in but I remember him from somewhere. Hills is about as relevant as Hockey Reviews

The fact that calling someone a retard now is so frowned upon is retarded. 

I've been banned from a few places for it. Mods here don't have the balls to ban their best member, so I can say whatever I want here. 

Wow I’m honored, can’t believe you called me the future best member.

Now to get you out of here quickly so I can presently become the best member!!!

Best post ever placed on this forum ever of all time. Micheal Jordan, Joe Montana, whoever the greatest soccer player of all time is, WayneO, and various stellar goalies (not to trigger anyone) all looked at this photo and simultaneously agreed this photo puts all of them to shame.

Somehow I missed that he was ever on here, weird.

Thats what I’m sayin, had no clue this guy was ever around. Same with the IPV6 whatever guy that someone else mentioned.

Finally!  The beginning of this thread is so fun every year.   Thanks @A.YOUNGoalie13

You could have gotten a 10/10 but you bucked the format of the title

Its a new era what can I say

Some sitings from the Nerd on Instagram

Fleury looks like a tree

Gus bus testing all Bauer, no more True glove (maybe?)

Elvis testing True, would suck to see him leave Bauer he has had some great sets with them. Also curious about this glove, looks similar to Gibson’s 2 piece

It is with tremendous regret that I create this thread without the great Steph Lawa, however @coopaloop1234 said it best: Last visited: November 2021. 
 

alas, I give you the sitings thread.

Starting off with Wedgebauer and Wedgewood. Not sure if the one is just an updated newer and better version of the other, but cool sets either way.

Incoming sitings

Not sure the last time he was here but @Steph Lawa we are overdue for the 2023-24 sitings thread!

He's a self admitted drop and block goalie. Even in his Mach glove review, he mentions that a reason he didn't like the glove was because it forced the user to "catch" with it. He couldn't just let the puck hit the thumb/fingers and be automatically directed into the pocket. 

Couple that with needing the stiffest pads possible, I feel like dude expects gear to make the saves for him. 

And by watching his play, I don't think it's too far off. 

I get he's a mess league guy trying his best but he is... not very good. And the stiffest possible pads are really better off with a more flexible user. Not that other people can't use them but its definitely easier the more flexibility you have. The guy just has too many excuses. At the end of the day if a piece of gear doesn't work for you just say it isn't for you. 

Just frustrates me that a guy like this thinks he knows all. As someone who has grown up in the heavily goalie coached era, everything is about technique now. Why should someone like myself or any other younger goalies take gear advice from a guy who plays old school, doing just about everything "wrong"? Again I get that everyone plays there own way and stuff, which I respect, its part of why I value input from everyone on here so much, but this guy is making one leg up pad saves and then explaining pad seal 2 minutes later. I want gear advice from someone who at least understands the purpose ofall the tech in the gear, even if they don't use it exactly the way its intended. 

Sorry but if you can't tell I'm not a fan and have had this waiting inside me for some time now lol

Adding to this.

We're all freaking out about paddle size inconsistency already

"WHY ISN'T A BAUER 67 FLEX THE SAME AS A WARRIOR 67 FLEX"

 

Well I mean is it that hard for someone from every company to decide that a ruler is 12 inches? One would think not but 23 inches is apparently not 23 inches in every companies’ factory I guess.

I know Bauer 23 and 24 paddles are 67 flex. 25s are 87, 26 is 95

I would assume the other companies somewhat concur

Thanks. 
 

So did Kova copy Bauer or did Bauer copy them? Bauer’s nme straps are the same exact design.

How does it feel on your hand and how does it close? And how’s the protection, did you add any extra padding?

Feels a bit like you’re holding something cylindrical like a can. Closes great, although I went pro palm over game ready since my mach had a decent amount of stingers. Also went extra padding in the palm.

Anyone know what brand these straps are?
