    I finally got on the ice after having had the G5’s for what seemed like forever (8 weeks). Gotta day they performed flawlessly, and very similar to the G4’s I was coming out of. The harder knee stack foam helped me slide and push a bit better. And the New bigger T on the glove felt very natural, and allowed me to catch pucks just like with the g4. Didn’t notice anything bad about the blocker and was able to punch out some hard rebounds.

    Heres my Stiff G5s compared to my G4 pros. Exact same size, 36+2

    Are they curved to different degrees at the boot and knee breaks? Tonight is the first time I will be using my new G5s even though I've had them for a while (4weeks?) now. There certainly are some minor imperfections in the set, but it doesn't bother me like it would have in times gone by.

    That's what I do too. Your workmanship on the PVC is better than mine! Loosening the strap on the outside of the glove helps to stretch out the glove in this direction and "rounds" out the T when opening the glove.

    The jenpro strap on the outside of the glove that goes across the fingers. The one that keeps the backhand protection snug against the glove.

    I loosened the strap that goes around the backhand across the fingers so the glove opens wider

    I used to be like you and cared a lot about any imperfections. It just takes so much out of me to care that much anymore. There are some puckering and unevenness on my custom G5s but I only cared about it for 5 seconds. As long as it stops the puck well, and does not detract from the performance, I would not be worried about the cosmetic side of things. On that hole on the glove though, it might lead to faster wear - though I don't think the wear will be terribly heightened. I would say there's nothing wrong with you sending it back - it should be perfectly fine under the return policy right? I don't think these were custom ordered?

    1. Yes. They are the exact same size, the G5 just hasn't had time to be settled into slightly. 2. Black is slightly easier to match up between the brands. I was contemplating matching the set with a Brians OPTIK2 glove. But now that they enlarged the catch pocket of the G5, I'll probably stick to the G5. 3. I went with the X-stiff thigh. It's a little bit stiffer. Not that the G4s were too soft for me, I just wanted a more straight curve above the knee to help with mobility

    I know how to solve this get both! Just kidding. I think you'd be happy with either. My G4's were a bit stiff new, but now closes like butter, and no stingers. My G5s are begging for some game use right now. Just been working it on the couch.

    I haven't gotten my hands on the G5 SNR stuff to try yet. I'd lean towards the G4 pro, it's the nicer glove that I have ever used. The downside is that the T is a bit short compared to other gloves - the G5 tee is about an inch longer. The glove permitter is the same, they just reduced the cuff block size.

    Likewise - fingers crossed that the rinks start back up under phase 2

    Ahh I haven't played there in about 7-8 years, but ya definitely remember the foggy ice. Ha. What a time.

    Oh nice. I never did get to play at XI. I mostly played out of raleigh/durham rinks but periodically popped in at Pineville. I'm up in Boston now. Lots of rinks but all shut with no peep of when they are coming back online. Some of my teams are trying to put together low-key pickups as soon as allowed
