I haven't bullied you in a while. That's all

Mach body is just a slight tweak of the 2S body, which was a slight tweak from the NXG body (pro series) Its all the same mostly.

Nah, that thing was definitely crushed during transport. Thing was awful. I saw it back during the first week of Feb, and aside from staff, I was one of the few from the public to try it.

Not really, it's a bit squishier than Warrior's sewn in option, but I didn't find it to be a massive difference. Lining up the velcro on the catcher is so much easier than moving the blocker back in place. I've been using my G6 with the practice palm insert and that has much more of a pro palm feeling that you're describing. Frankly it's hilarious. Though, outside of manually closing it with the other hand, there isn't much else they could do on that glove. It came in rough fucking shape lol.

Pretty sure it's @A.YOUNGoalie13 who's into feet. Also, I can't believe that The Hockey Shop used this picture to advertise their 7.0 glove. I tried that glove they got and it was absolutely mangled internally. Their 7.1 demo one was fine though.

Thought you were getting a 7.0 this time around? Nevermind, you're talking catchers, not blockers.

Using a GT, GT2, and G5. I barely notice a difference. It's more noticeable in the catchers.

Considering how modular Bauer is and how the strapping set up is essentially the same between the two lines, you can argue they're already only supplying one line lol

Bauer Shadow Size Thigh flex (3 options) Boot flex (2 options) knee block (2 options) knee wing (2 options) Boot strapping (4 options) Toe attachment (2 options) Leg strapping (2 options) Glove palm (2 options) Tee (2 options) pocket lacing (3 options) T spine lacing (3 options) internal fit (2 options) Blocker palm (3 option ) Here's a standard Bauer Shadow options: 33 So just shy of Warriors offerings.

I am curious to hear more on how their pads are too customizable, Just for fun I compared the total amount of customization options between the G7 and the Bauer Pro Custom: Warrior Graphic (2 options) Size Thighrise (6 options) Outer/no break Thighrise stiffness (2 options) Knee stiffness (3 options) Boot stiffness (2 options) Outer leg channel size (2 options) Heel strap Two blockers 4 palm options Two gloves 4 liners (3 if 7.1) Stock/practice palm Tee (2 options) Wrist strap yes/no Total options: 39 Bauer Pro custom Graphic (2 options) Pad COnstruction (2) options Glove (4 options) Blocker (3 options) Pad size (based off shadow construction) Thighrise stiffness (5 options) Boot Flex (3 options) + 1 more for selecting Hyperlite 2 constructions knee block (2 options) Knee wing (3 options) +1 more for Hyperlite 2 Calf bracket (2 options) +1 more for hyperlite 2 Boot Strapping (4 options) Toe Bridge (2 options) Toe attachment (2 options) Toe alignment (2 options) Leg strapping (2 options) Other strapping (2 options) Tune fit strapping (2 options) Knee grip (2 options) Glove palms (3 options) Tees (2 options) + reinforced Palm material (3 options) Pocket lacing (3 options) T spine lacing (3 options) Int/sr internal fit DCT padding (3 options) wrist strap (3 options) only for shadow Blocker palm size (3 options) Thumb pillow (2 options) back hand foam (2 options) only for Shadow Total: 77 I'm curious what other brands are able to offer, but just this comparison puts Bauer's customization options as double what Warrior is able to offer. I'd argue that Warrior has stuck with their own "“this is our design take it or leave it.” People are either all in on Warrior or think they're the worst pads ever, and that's only achievable by being unique in their design.

Pretty sure Vaughn just has a pure stranglehold on the pants department anyways.

Calf strapping is all new on the G7. G6 iteration was not good. It had a hard, plastic like, outer calf wrap that was situated on the far outside of the pad. The changes on the G7 were very welcome. Calf pillow is bigger than the Hyperlite 1 too. Good thing it's removable. Nice set.

That's all eh? That exposed foam was present on the G6 line as well. It was also seen on the glove backside finger protection and the inside of the calf wrap on the G6. Odd choice to not at least cover it up.

Those are gorgeous. So how many sets are you rocking this year? 3? What don't you like about them?
