Windmill save

i'm looking on the pro custom goalie pad customizer specs on pure goalie, and i was wondering what the calf bracket is, i know its not the professer strap, but i am still confused

Always hug your post. Post lives matter too. Show the post some love. Show some appreciation for post. All it takes is a miss directed puck to start a conversation.

Yes the eflex is a hybrid style pad, but it is still suitable for goalies like my self, who is forced to stay up bc i butterfly too much. Talking in the long run, I would suggest that you use a few older pads to try and get a feeling for sizing, straping style, weight and what brand you want to use. Then work your way up, to get a better feeling for what gear you like. I am 13, playing goalie for 3 years, still using 2nd hand gear to test out what brand is good and what is not. I myself is a stiff Max rebound flat face pad, but know scince I am playing u15, u18, junior semi pro, in australia, I am looking at knee roles, brakes, soft rebounds, bc i need it to stay closes to me to make a quick save. I am using reebok rn, flat faced, and i have been scored on several times because the rebounds were too hot and went directly to the opposition. So I am looking for softer pads with enough rebound that it wouldn't do nothing and stay in one spot when it hit my pads. So the eflex or gsx is a cheap but good pad/s to use. Also hybrid style goalies is a dying breed in a butterfly dominated game. So companies are trying to make pads for butterfly style goalies but also incorporate things from the 'eflex line to axis line'. Ccm has a pro custom option were you can have knee roles, like the eflex, but have the rebounds of the ccm axis or priemer line, which is done for. Companies like true, have flat faced knee roles l, having the look and feel of the knee role, but also giving you a flat stiff surface.

Try the bauer gsx, or the ccm eflex 5.5

If you want bauer gear similar to the one 90, which I have used, try the bauer 1x, 1s, or the reactor series. Probably have to get it second hand, bit I found those were similar to the one 90. Or just get the 0ne 70 or one 100

So the ccm axis C&A isn't a good fit for someone like me, and I should go for a more mobile chestie. IF that is so, what would you recomend. Bc i need the protection too.

That is a good point. I get what you are saying. The Mckenny C&A is a older version. So the shoulder floater are small. Sarro is, yes, one of the best goalies in the league right now. But for my age, i am pretty tall. I am still considering what chestie to use, it is just that ccm is on top of my list. It is not that i can't afford pro gear, or better gear, it is just that my price range is low. I chose ccm because i have tried on the ccm premier 1 and 2.9 off ice. I liked it BUT it was big for me in waist wise because it was a large and i was only 11. The shoulders are moveable and adjustable. So i can get the large appearance and still have the same mobility in my head. I also don't tuck, so it have a bit more movement in my mind. Don't know if that is true. I have good foot work for my age, so my skating abilities is ok. Like i said, i tend to over shoot a bit, so the axis was/looked the best for me.

Thanks, I do like ccm/true but i am open to options tho. The axis wasn't my first choice, the bauer elite was, but i tried it on and it was a bit heavy for my liking, so i wanted to give ccm a try. Bc i have used bauer, vaughn, McKenny and reebok, never used ccm, just wanted to give it a try. I did wanted to try the eflex 5.9, but it looked like my current chestie, (see in profile) and it was small on my shoulders. I was getting scored on top shelf a lot, so i thought that ccm axis was the way to go. I did try the premier 1 and 2.9, and it liked it. Never used it in game. The ccm axis looked similar, but just some upgrades.

Thanks

So aegis neck guard should be the way to go Would anyone or you recommend anything else?

I guess that is true, but I need all the help I can get

A lot of players in U18 in aus shoot HIGH, and i have a tendency to overshoot just a bit, so i need a chesite that fits that. And the ccm axis does. But i will take your opinions into action.

Thanks, I didn't wear a dangler until a few week ago, but even my 3 NECK GUARDS couldn't stop a puck from hurting my throat. So i wear 3 neck guards and a dangler. Thanks. I have heard or Aegis and they us D3O, but i haven't tried one on. I'll give it a try.

Pretty sure it is just more movement in the knee area.

For me, i can't try on anything, only some gear to get a feeling of sizing because i live in Australia. Also most chesties i have tried on are ok, and i heard the axis is pretty good at that how ever you look at it. But thanks. You do make a good point, The broad shoulders thing is a thing i considered, But is play U15 and U18, and they shoot higher, so i need and chestie that fit my standers and also the shooters standers to. (as is size wise) But thanks

Thanks

I always use clamps and leave it for a few hours and boom it closes better. Leave it for a few days and you will definitely see the difference. 3 days before my game i would clamp my glove and as soon as i get in the game, it is ready to go.

Thing about getting an axis 1.9 chestie. I know it makes you look visually bigger, wondering if i should get it or not.

Getting to many head and throat hunters during practice. Can't use the new neck guard because they have literally no protection. I have used the Bauer S18 neck guard, absolute dog crap. I know Nhl goalies wear old neck guards as they are harder, looking to fin a decent one.

I use a bauer dangler and i use skate lace, i suggest you put the stings high on the sides so you have movement but enough protection, then at the chin put it low. It works well if you want movement and protection. The chestie will protect your side neck.

I think leferve as a company is one of the best, but true is probably going to mess it all up.

Good point

Just to let you know i am 13. The guy in the pic is 6.1

Some one stole my true gear so i got a replacement

Got to say that True/Leferve is the best goalie gear you can get out there in my opinion. You cannot beat Canadian crafted gear. Yes their shipping times are crazy, but it is expected for the quality and craftsmanship you get from someone who have been in the hockey business for years, and has probably made gear for pros. I ordered a set of true L12.1 when it was available, and it is still the same pads as it was when I got it. I say it is worth the wait for the gear you are getting. I would rather pay for true gear than get free vaughn gear. That is how good it is.
