  1. There are a bunch of videos about the Ellipse player profiles as well. I don't get the sense that they are meant specifically for stability, but what I find a bit odd is for player skates they have multiple Ellipse profiles based on the holder & blade size, but they don't for goalies.
  2. Final bump before they get binned. Open to offers.
  3. Interesting to see the flex in the pad in stock form versus what the GNetik V looked like. In some alternate universe where I'm back to playing, I'm pretty sure these are what I'd be in.
  4. Sorry man. Stinks to have the game taken away for this shit. I know what you're going through.
  5. I'm kind of surprised, the surgeon didn't rush to convince me I need surgery. Essentially he asked "How much are your hips keeping you from doing what you want to do?" He did also mention that I have the start of arthritis blooming in my left hip, but that it isn't that bad yet. If it were to get markedly worse, there's a chance I wouldn't be a candidate for arthroscopy any longer. The cam deformity is going to accelerate that wear, so in that sense it's likely that having surgery would slow or stop any progression of arthritis. When I think about it that way I start to lean toward wanting to move forward, especially since recovery isn't going to get any easier as I get older. , I guess.
  6. Consult with the hip surgeon tomorrow afternoon. I guess I'm nervous about it, probably because I'm afraid he'll recommend surgery. On one hand, I don't really feel like I need surgery to do most things I want to do, but I am worried I'm doing more damage by not having arthroscopic procedures done on both hips now, potentially increasing the chances I need a full replacement at a younger age. My last game was in May of last year and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a mental struggle even more than a year on from that to leave the game behind.
  7. Updated price to $175 shipped (from $225).
  8. Only worn 2-3 times before my "retirement". $175 shipped in the lower 48. Thanks all!
  9. Nice! Once you've had a chance to get the SLR3s out on the ice a few times a comparison/review would be interesting to hear. That's a solid lineup of gear. :jealous:
  10. I'm not saying you didn't order the XP70, just that it looks like they messed up. The entire shape of the glove looks off from the XP model. I guess maybe they could have started with the V10 build and then built the break to be more like 70*? It doesn't really look like it in this case, but that's more or less what they did with the XP70 versus the original 60* version. Is the set in your hands yet or still on its way from the dealer?
  11. The XP gloves do not have a laced-in break, that glove does. It's probably either an SLR3 glove or a V9 two-piece glove with the appearance of a solid cuff.
  12. Hmm. I'm not so sure about the bolded. The regular V10 (and my old V9 two piece) felt nothing like a 590 to me. The 590 is full hand, the regular V9 and V10 gloves are very pinchy, fingertip to thumb closure to my hand. Both feel very similar to the Ultrasonic/Mach. The standard 60* V9 XP is the 590 clone.
