Nope. Still can't go back and edit old posts. We'll see how long I can edit posts from now on though.

Oh ok

What's the word on this?

What is so rare about the gloves?

I have never had a problem with any kind of hip, knee, or ankle pain due to stress from toe ties. I had a good enough amount of slack in them that I was able to get my blades to the ice without strain and I have always been fairly flexible. The obvious drawback to having that slack in the toe ties was the pad not being securely strapped to my feet thus causing them to be "sloppy". They are all over the place if you know what I mean. Currently in Vaughn V6 2000 pads, I strap the knee lock and calf lock pretty snug. I strap both of my calf straps moderately, neither tight nor loose. I think the 6th hole from the inside end of each strap leaving 5 open holes before the buckle. I used to strap my bootstrap on the 3rd hole leaving 2 holes of slack, again, not tight nor loose. Since I started using the Pro Laces the play of the pads have increased so much. The pads are now kept tight to the skate and I still have the same, if not more, ability to get my blades to the ice. On top of that, all of the sloppiness has been removed from the pad. They're either firmly in place or return right back firmly in place once I am off my knees again. The other positive is I have been able to remove the boot strap all together. This gives my feet that much more flexibility in getting my blades to the ice in the butterfly and also saves me a few seconds getting dressed/undressed. I am not exaggerating when I say these things have been right up there with the swap to One80 cowlings and step steel as far as improving my push game when down in the butterfly. I will agree with bunny that the one negative I have found with Pro Laces is the need for the extra attachment piece and the screws, more so the screws. I have noticed 2 of them, one of each foot, back about halfway out from the t-nut throughout gameplay. Thankfully they haven't backed out all the way. Loctite should fix this, I just keep forgetting to get some to apply to the screws. I just make sure I always check them and screw them back in before putting my pads on. I think this product would be pretty flawless if it was sold in a toe bridge. Obviously that would drive the cost up though. I am contemplating making my own in a spare set of toe bridges that I have or just sending my spares to him for use in a new set. Option one being cheaper, option 2 better quality as I have no idea how to use a sewing machine, nor do I have one haha. Either way my current set will be for sale eventually.

Ooohhhhhh shit son!!! The Gasman cometh!!

And then removed all of the rolls

No idea. I do remember that as that Supreme line went on they actually removed the rolls from the thigh rise all together. I'll look for a picture.

Cheers to that

Nice pickup!

Sure do!

I think the gel palm is the basic game ready palm. IIRC Vaughn gloves usually have a "GEL TEC" logo in the palm. Although I think it just means it is heat moldable.

Today's dump of pictures. My regular blocker was away getting the royal treatment by the one and only Keeps33, Jay Terio.

I wonder if it has the 6000 thumb like mine does. Looking at it, it definitely looks like it.

What model glove is that?

Cool thanks

Is there any settings that admin can make to allow us to edit our posts without a time frame?

Oh I know I wasn't taking it in any way negative. I had a lot of pop outs with the previous 5500. A problem I never have with my current one.

Is there anyone else besides Quick and Ward? For some reason Subban comes to mind too.

To each his own, eh?

Glad it worked out for you!

Nice grab

Idk I LOVE the old triple T! I ordered my most recent 5500 with and old spec triple T. The 5500 I had prior had a floating T.

Thanks, I come up with a good idea every now and again haha. When I ordered my V6s a few years ago I asked for a lot of my straps and buckles to be removable as I wanted to try different setups with them. I've knocked off a lot of straps since my V4 pads. Those had a fixed thigh strap, two knee straps, 3 calf straps, and 2 boot straps. My V6 started with a removable thigh strap and buckle, one knee strap and removable buckle, 2 calf straps, and one boot strap. As I meantioned I only use the thigh straps to carry my pads. I removed the buckles on day 1 as soon as I got them as this was the plan all along.(I remove the straps as I am getting dressed). I removed the knee strap and buckle back in December or January, just use the knee lock. Now, with the Pro Laces, I am comfortable with no boot strap at all. Its just too bad that buckle is not removable. I don't wanna cut it off in case I sell these pads one day. @mik, love the pads. Those and the old Reactor line are my favorites.
