    We generally get the shaft too. Not as bad as you Euro's though. It's the yanks that seem to benefit best.
  2. Yea, sorry for derailing it with my humour. Open communication is pretty paramount, especially at the beer league level where it's tougher to get a full team dynamic going.
  3. I mean, while my comment does have an inkling of truth to it, I was mostly just trying to be funny.
  4. I really enjoy open communication. Especially verbally berating my team for not being in shape and hacking too many darts. That's my favourite.
  5. Not too many reviews on it. You won't see many members on this site using the cheapest of the cheap pads. Supreme line goes as follows for build quality / price. S150, S170, S190, 1S. I live in an area that has great stock on all pads/ pad types and I've never seen a S150 in person. I've seen the S170, and aside from the absolute entry level or guy just picking up a set for fun with buds, I would avoid them. Saying that, the S150 would be an even worse version of the S170.
  6. I mean, companies have always used pros to market gear to the general public. It's why they brand their gear in the first place.
  7. @stackem30 That was far more of an explanation than I was expecting. I figured you would've just hinted sternly that the longevity of my life is really a fragile thing and that accidents can/will happen, especially to nosy sun-of-a-bitches like myself.
  8. Shouldn't be too surprised. Pro's will always have access to things unavailable at the consumer level. Hell, look at Vaughn, they'll bend over backwards for their pro's and their customization options. They will barely lift a finger at the consumer level. Just the way things go.

    Mmm, ya bby, I love that textured feeling on my knee. Rly gets them juices flowin'. Recent Premier pads have a stiffer knee block, I'm assuming this textured portion will be a tad softer (looks squishy) and tacky to keep the knee from sliding off. I wouldn't wear these without kneepads though. Gotta say, Premier line hasn't interested me much till this iteration, I'm really curious to get my hands on it for some reason.
  10. Did you have a chance to try the CCM prototype in a live fire exercise?
  11. @cwarnar @Mroy31 thanks guys. I've been tying to the loop of my pants lately. Though still untucked. I'll keep experimenting.
  12. Yes!!!! The meme hype worked! Definitely need a review after 10 skates or so. Mostly for my own curiosity. I've been in the LT90, and aside from the unit being designed to tuck and me wearing it untucked, I love it. Just want to see how the newest model holds up Edit: Also, how does everyone get their tucked C/A to stay? I can't seem to get it.
  13. Ouch, that is not good mileage for top of the line pants, let a lone senior level.
  14. The only reason I can think of that happening is because I push in my tee with my blocker everytime I get set. Aside from that, it's not like that area sees any contact with ice or posts, so it's the only conclusion I could come up with. I'm definitely not too thrilled about the wear.
