I brought my glove into my local shop this past week to get it re-laced for $50 and when I picked it up today it seemed super tight. There's zero flexibility or give to the lacing, very uneven holes, and some where I can barely fit my finger through. From what I've seen it should be much looser than this so should I cut it and try to re-lace it or is it good?

Back in mid-september I got a full-right Bauer 3x vapor senior glove. At first it seemed great with that "game ready" break but now I'm not loving it nearly as much. I still can't fully close it after doing the keeps33 method 2 or 3 times and wearing and working it almost every day ever since I've gotten it. My hand is just big enough to go up to senior and have am having a hard time closing the glove(not sure if this is because of my grip strength or the actual glove). I used to have it super tight but after loosening things up it seems to slightly easier. Whenever I close the glove there is still a gap and there have been a couple times recently where I will catch the puck and it just rolls out. I've messed around with the tightness and where I place the straps but nothing seems to work. There is also a bump at the bottom of the palm that stops my from closing the palm completely. Any help would be appreciated.

I currently have 31+2 vaughn velocity v7 xf intermediate which I've been wearing four the past four years and got them as used pads. Next year I'll be playing college hockey for the University of Delaware women's team and am looking to upgrade to senior or pro 32+2 or 33+1 but I have no idea what I should get. I've been looking into the warrior G4s, CCM Axis, and Vaughn V9's a but was wondering if I could get some help one which ones to go for. I know I want a stiff single break with a stiff thigh rise so there's no cupping but other than that I'm not sure. Any help is very much appreciated.
