Trav4 said 580 was gonna be stock. Still a chance it’ll be like g6 and 6.1 type thing or did he pull that out his ass?

There is some merit the his statement.

Bauer has two very successful gloves. The Supreme is used by almost all their pro goalies, and the vapor is very popular at retail. The vapor 90 has done extremely well at custom but not enough to dethrone one of their flagship models. If you want a stock 580 you’ll have to go ccm or wait for the vaughn or brians copycats.

Not entirely accurate.. I got to chat with a Bauer custom rep who said the vapor 90 will be the stock break for vapor moving forward in 25.

Iconik is 590 and optik 3 is 600 as far as feel goes. Most pros use 600 style gloves (optik, supreme, SLR) because they work better with larger hands and tend to take up more net

Gnetik series is the 600 style break. The optik is more 590 ish but is more between the 590/600.

Jet Greaves in an Axis XF bucket. Not sure why his pads look so narrow

That blocker looks like it's been thinned out even more...  looking forward to this line releasing!

Jake Allen's 2nd Brian's set of the season.

 

But I think this would have matched better

 

 

 

I generally hate mostly white gear but those are clean!!!

Pro palm total custom pro straight from the factory. Decent closure.

Very cool. 

I expect a 20+ minute video review on the difference in the gloves.

More than likely will be a write up about how they play, craftsmanship, quality, durability, protection and face measurements.

Nice. Glad to see you going with the leather straps. A dying breed for sure...  I'm a fan of them though haha.

I prefer the freedom of real straps as I wear my pads loose. All these pads are made for adults for children's calfs.

Yo, Mr. Moneybags, why did you have to kill my dream so swiftly? 

Reality has a habit of kicking you in the dick when you least expect it.

Yo, Mr. Moneybags, what do I need to do to get myself a employee discount code from ya?  

Get yourself a part time job at a retailer. I generally let my beer league team use the code for what they need to replace since they have families to support and I don't. Plus the code doesn't work for custom sets, that's a different process.

Yo, Mr. Moneybags, spread the wealth. 

Employee discount.. work perk of part time job.

Do it!! 

Seals very well, munches pucks, etc etc etc.

Very satisfying.

Mine was delivered to tgc today so it should be in next week. Going to be fun comparing ccm and true 580 vs the vapor 90 that just came in today.

You are a bad influence! God I want to order that now, look at that tee seal

Which one are you wanting to order? 

Well my bauers finally came in after 18 weeks. I would like to point out that if you choose the leather straps on the pads that Bauer has made them removable on the calf but not the knee. Going to be a fun winter testing these and my px3's which will be delivered next week.

I appreciate your input. I have heard quite a lot about farts/screams and have personally experienced them on my homemade skates (if you read my thread about them), although they are made as 2 pieces, they are much stiffer than 2 pieces of True. and when I was freshly sharpening, I scared the whole skating rink with these sounds. lol p.s. I meant your transition from previous skates to 2 pieces

Also, please tell me these sharpening numbers (3/8, 9/16, etc.) - is this the diameter or radius of the circle of the depth of the hole on the blade? We just have a different system for assessing sharpening depth and I would like to compare it with it

5/8 on 4mm in the one piece felt way sharper and had more bite than 1/2 does on my 3mm 2 piece. But now I'm going to try 4mm steel on my 2 piece before I make my final determination.

This is the product you should be getting at retail for the amount of money they charge for "pro level" gear.  

No kidding.

This is exactly what I wondered too, which as we know is our dream!! Please sell this to us, CCM. Or provide a conversion service for a very reasonable fee. 

Ccm doesn't care about feedback from us peasants. That's easily noted when they don't publish any review on their site under 4 stars, ask me how I know.

Anyone know what this glove is that Markstrom is wearing? At first I thought it was maybe a Bauer with the branding covered up but then I saw the cuff that says CCM. Unreleased model? 

It has the 581/591 back hand. Could be a pro only zombie glove?  580 construction and 581 backhand?
