You know as much as I do that if they brought it back, you'd be all over it

I moved out of my GT2 set for a reason lol.

Blocker, yes, that's cool and the setup isn't all that hard. The glove on the other hand, if the palm isn't set exactly as you had it before taking it out...well that would just drive me nuts

Reattaching the glove liner is easier than the palm. 

Palm is always such a pain.

Here's the shadow strapping for those curious. 

So it looks almost like they did a horizontal strap to the lower ROM attachment point on the Mach. 

@seagoal was first lol

Taper at the inside toe?

Only the stiffness and the calf wrap can be modified. 

You'll still have a square toe and flatter leg channel 

GT line is dead, it's time to move on.

I wish the 7.0 glove would have a permanent palm.

I wish they would of kept the GT2 line but have the new leg strapping. That'd be killer

Just get a custom G7 with a soft knee and medium thighrise. Should be relatively close.

Its a digiprint graphic. The accents of the mach design are more prominent and its all one layer with no texturing unlike the actual ones. Also the way the front of his pads are gold and then it cuts off to the black on the back is custom only. The real graphics had zones that wrapped around and such

The lack of texturing was a bit of a give away yea. Though, I can get a set that looks about 99% the same minus one back hand portion from the default customizer. 

He must really like the flat Mach graphic.

Had a skate with the G6 SR glove last night and I'm blown away at how well it catches. I had tried a G4 blocker/glove combo previously and had a lot of trouble with it (both the glove and the blocker). I think if I had the money I would get a custom G6.1/7.1 with removable palms.

Some said that my glove looked bigger (than my Hyperlite).

Reduced cuff makes the new Warrior pocket massive. Plus the Hyperlite pocket isn't that big. 

Had to use two pics because I don't have a direct side by side, but you can see the difference in pocket size of the Hyperlite vs my black G5, and then my white G5 compared to G6. 

Also, removable palms on the X.1 line hasn't been a thing since the very, very beginning of the G6 release. They ran into production issues and removed that custom option entirely. That continues on the G7 lines. 

I'm just happy the NHL can stop "Weekend at Bernie's"-ing this Franchise.

As seen on GSX

And that's one piece?

Clearest view we have of the stock option thus far.

Yea, and the ROM and wrist strap look different than the Mach ROM with wrist strap. 

I know I'll get what I'm after eventually as more people get their hands on this. I'm just fucking impatient.

Shadow ROM is just what's in GSX. Mach ROM is ROM with a floating wrist strap iirc and Shadow ROM is the two pieces together like a normal glove. 

The internals on a GSX look like what was in the Mach + their typical wrist strap. 

I'm still confused. lol

I assume it is as follows:

Mach rom : exactly like Mach (what I ordered)

Mach with wrist : what you got on Mach when you added the wrist strap.

Shadow: similar wrist strap to HL2 with a rom strap (assuming from what is written in the catalog)

That's mostly what I was assuming aside from not knowing exactly what the Shadow spec is. 

From what I understood prior to release, the new wrist strap was supposedly super thinner than Bauer's typical offering they've had forever. 

I didn't mind the Mach, it was just the ROM wasn't a great rendition of a wristless glove strapping. CCM did it better, and Warrior is still the king in that regard.

Watching last night highlights, I noticed Vasy has logo style initials on his catcher. Noticed one or two other pro goaliesdo this.

Does he have his own Russian YouTube channel as well?

He's had that embroidery since at least his Ultrasonics.

ProSkateGoal in Calgary has demo sets in, maybe they can snap some pics?

Was kind of hoping you'd be my guinea pig, but you just had to follow the trend of using a 90 degree. 

Does anyone have any images of the differences between all the wrist strap options for the Shadow catcher?

I wonder if it's because the gold is unique to his set and not available in bauers customizer

Is it a custom colour? 

7 minutes ago, ThatCarGuy said:

Interesting that bauer labeled his custom specific colored Mach graphic as digiprint on the boot of the pads and glove backhand

Good eye. Seems he's worn Supreme gear historically too, so my theory of it being a Vapour pad with the alternate skin doesn't hold. 

Though, since he's in Ultrasonic gear or S60, I wonder if they used Digiprint because of that? Though Oettinger's Shadow pads (ultrasonics) are listed as Shadow. 

So who knows.

My boys are obviously out. Who's left aside Toronto and Edmonton in Canada?

I know, I should be on top of this as a Canadian but I only get to see highlights on YouTube and occasionally catch HNIC if lucky. 

Jets and Canucks are ahead of both of teams and most likely have two of the Vezina finalists. (let alone Helly is going to win it). 

Classic Canada Hockey coverage. All Leafs and McDavid 

The last wild card spot in the east is fun to watch.

Thompson with a new home set tonight. I’ve never seen this glove backhand from Bauer where its one piece

Tough to tell since it's all black, but it looks pretty close to am ultrasonic

The estimated delivery time I just got for my set is May 15th. Ordered on March 7th so that puts me right at the 10 week mark

Calf pillow looks much better than what I had on Mach. That calf plate however… I think we need to thank the calf brackets!

Calf plate looks close to the pro custom or ultrasonic version and not that wierd retail Mach version. 

Also looks to be more loop velcro surface area for the calf attachment than Mach, not sure if hyperlite 2 was like this too?

I wasn't expecting these for another month...

I'm disappointed that these came this quick. 

Set looks good dude. Need more behind the scene pictures though.
