The elastic knee strap down to the calf on Mach pads is more of a suggestion. Stabilislide really is cool.

That's the courage I'm looking for. As I sit here afraid to use my new jock because playoffs are starting

Chicken.

Nothing I've done myself. They're stock CCM Tacks, just before they completely abandoned using cowlings all together. https://www.thehockeyshop.com/blogs/goalie-gear-reviews/ccm-tacks-goal-skate-review It's essentially just a toe cap for slightly better protection and style points.

None of the padding is going to be in the correct spots as the unit is far too large for you. The resale on 2S C/A's isn't great, but, hacking up your current unit would just leave you with a C/A that's more or less useless. I'd highly recommend just going to get a proper fitting unit instead of trying to Frankenstein your current one.

Usually a 6 pack will do the trick. Win or Lose, we booze.

Well, well, well. Looks who's back.

The skate guards still being on is bugging me.

Yea, we'll have to have an intervention after your pads come in.

I'm just happy you're embracing colour

Current mess

Just pictures. Don't expect anything too different than the current Mach chesty. Which is a good thing. It's my favourite I've ever had

Can you do #1 without the ice blue?

https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/nba-market-size-nfl-mlb-nhl-nielsen-ratings/#:~:text=As of the 2023-24,Worth. Wanted to do some research to see how true that is and I came across this. Atlanta is right up there for Big 4 veiwership ratings in the USA without a NHL team. Definitely makes sense why they really want to nail down that market if possible. Funny enough, Phoenix isn't far behind. Makes sense why Bettman and Co. are just refusing to let the Coyotes leave and keep taking that embarrassment of a franchise on the chin

Ah, for some reason I thought you had the XF on order as well. C'mon, do eeet

You're at what? 4 pads now?

Anyone able to clarify what's different with the stock Shadow ROM compared to Mach?

Brutal. You liked the Supreme gear more than the Vapour gear anyways right?

Pretty close to stock then aside from a few changes. No digiprint this time around?

The glove is different too, unless you got a a Vapour glove with your set?

True's wait times usually skyrocket around when guys are getting ready to get back to training before camps. This is probably the slow season for Pro orders.

True pads have what they call a Fast Rotation System. It's essentially a professor strap for your calf. Kind of like Bauer's Tune Fit+ system and what CCM does as well. It's starting to become popular and for a good reason. Holds your leg in there, doesn't interfere with knee pads or skates, and is highly customizable. Clearly you just need sliding toe bridges. lol I know all the rage right now is to go back to laces because "post integration is better!", but I say fuck that. Objectively, it's correct, but the feel and ease of bungees are fantastic and lord knows I'm never going to have enough time to effectively practice my toe bridge on post integration to the point where it's automatic. The sole benefit of lace is almost lost on me. Especially as I've got rubber enough hips that skate on post and a hard lean (even in Ultrasonics) is relatively easy for me.

Ehhh, I'm going to disagree. In 2010 the theory behind leg pad strapping was wildly different. Strapping the knee block down to the calf wasn't a thing and leg channels were all super tight unless you were using a RBK Premier pad. Even in Premier pads, the best way to wear them was very, very loose. The only thing that was keeping it on your leg was strapping behind the knee and your toe ties/boot strap. The change from behind the knee, down to the calf, is probably the largest contributor to what you're saying. All pads in 2010 still had a plethora of leather straps. The strap reduction really only started with the Gnetik1 (2012) and G2 (2013) leg pads, at the time these two lines were a massive shake up to how leg pads were strapped. Who knew that using Velcro would be so revolutionary?

What a strange way to write out "third attempt"

Clearly you're needing an old school full cowling.
