I had a 35”+1.5” G4 and went to a 35”+2” G5 set this time. I wear the boot strap pretty tight and if I were to do it again I’d likely go with a 35”+1.5”. I had to sell my GT2 set because I kept missing the knee block on them (34”+1.5”) I got a used pair of G4s for them.

I got a pair and love them so far though I’m waiting for the 4mm steel to be available somewhere. I had used stock 2-piece skates for a while and figured I’d jump in. The release thing is confusing haven’t been able to get them to release fully to put them in the sparks but oh well.

I have G5 Pro pads with ProLaces (TGN spec) and they work fine haven’t had issues. It’s a PIA to thread things through but it works as well as it did with the G4 Pro pads I had before. I haven’t noticed major softening issues but I got mine custom with the extra stiff thigh rise option.

I ordered Halo bungee suspenders a while back and love them. I might just snag a set of these to try them out!

The arms are great no stingers at all but just enough to know you got hit (which I want). Took a while to break in and become flexible but it’s holding up very well and I’m super happy with it.

I love my Optik 2 Pro (custom colors no other mods) and came from a Warrior GT Sr before. The only complaint is it took a while to break in to where it feels as mobile as my GT but I don’t feel any hard gut shots like I started to in my GT. Almost went with a G5 Pro+ but I ordered the optik pants and chest last year before they came out.

I’m going to sell my Graf Pro G skates. I tried to find someone to put a new holder on them but I just can’t get used to them. Going back to new stock True 2 Piece instead.

Yup I’m left handed and use regular gloves so I can shoot the same way I would with a player stick. I fully agree.

I don’t hate the holders + steel just can’t find them anywhere and they seem to ding up after post work worse than Step steel did.

Ah ok. I might return mine since it really doesn’t seem like something I can easily do. They seem to be about right but the size down would be too small I’m pretty sure.

I would love that!

Yeah so I ordered basically all the gear I would need for the next two years (C/A, Pants, G5 set + 3 M1 sticks) and they came in two separate shipments. I have no complaints just mentioning that for folks that may not be aware of it.

Oops thought those were the new Graf Pro G boots. Still this is exactly what I want to do with mine if I can find a way to do it. `282` ones don't seem to line up.

I have a pair of these (my used True 2-pieces started falling apart) where did you get the CCM holders added? I tried to do this myself but I can't I guess and will need to return the holders. Also can't find anyone who has the Graf steel for these either which is annoying.

Oh but be aware UPS charged me about $100 total for two packages when it came over the border. So you might want to factor that in.
