I bought an aegis neck guard recently and had to trim a good amount of the padding out of the neck. Guys who know materials, is there anyway for me to reuse this and make it into another piece of padding? I don’t think it would melt down right? Just would be cool to reuse and make into a palm padding piece or something, thanks.

I went from 590 to 580 and it’s a very similar break in my experience. Definitely not something I’d buy if you like your mach and can’t try out without commitment. I agree with some of the others on just stick with the mach. True will feel heavy to you and Ccm 600s aren’t great without extensive break in. Brian’s stuff is good but may feel a little heavy, and Vaughn gloves aren’t for everyone. Definitely a tough situation but I’d stay with a supreme glove

I’ve always really liked the Sherwood sticks, just hard to find in stores in the us. When I go across the border for tournaments they always feel great just never pulled the trigger on one. Maybe next time I will

I was really considering but there's a couple reviews of guys getting concussed in a dual layer foam from resilient. I don't remember if it's the neoprene poron or not but whatever it was turned me off really fast. I need to see a video of the shock absorption like @SentryHockey mentioned before going with that.

yeah wish i could get the real stuff, hopefully someday I can save enough for one.

also went with this because i love the cream foam look proschoice uses haha

I went with two sheets of bulk rubatex in different thicknesses, ended up not using one sheet. I only got on the ice with it one time because I cant wear cateyes yet. The time I used it it felt great. For how thick the mask I put it in (Rey swiss) is it felt light. Also my first time in that mask. For protection it didn't see much. I had a shot around the side chin that barely hit the mask and a stick impact to the temple that didn't hurt at all. I'm excited to use the mask next season once I repaint it again and I'll probably get the rubatex from resilient again as long as it doesn't harden on me. Maybe experiment with mixed foams next time?

What’s the difference? I used warrior forever and didn’t feel too much difference switching between lines

I think it might help during puckhandling. I had a chip at that spot for most of the sticks life and the one week I used it without tape there I broke it shooting. Might’ve just been the sticks time to go and I’m overthinking all of it though too

Just tried the mach and I love this thing, has a ton of pop and almost too light because I’m not used to it yet. The material feels almost slippery catching pucks where there isn’t tape which is kinda weird there probably isn’t really a difference there though that’s prob just me. And I got a tiny crack on the top edge of the blade worrying me. Hopefully holds up and performs the same as it did yesterday for the next while

That’s what made my v3, and v2 crack maybe a blok/paddle wedge could help that area?

Maybe that’s what felt weird to me with the true. Inch or two bigger paddle and it still felt pretty comfortable in butterfly. I noticed my blocker angle was different too I wonder if that was something I might’ve changed subconsciously because of the stick, or playing with positioning on camera. That’s a great call out though I never noticed that before. Maybe why I get more power with my warrior vs more loft with the true because of the lie change

Peranis in bloomfield hills Michigan, probably discounts for the shadow stick just earlier. I’d check the peranis site and see if you’re interested

This one was just so heavy not sure why, I’ve loved foam cores in the past.

Was gonna go with an m5 until I saw Machs were 200. Was really impressed with it I forgot how nice they were

Xf stick made it to sideline swap, I swear the catalog said something about a shaft shape, I don’t really see anything https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/goalie/goalie-sticks/7875741-axis-ccm-xf-goalie-stick?referral_code=pfeiff156

For sure next stick will be pro stock, just needed something with a warranty for now so if it breaks I can get a new one. My backup v2pro+ is on its last legs and probably wouldn’t last more than a few skates

I felt some smalls, I believe they fit similar, don’t quote me on this though it was in November lol. What I am confident on is that the optik 3 is a solid unit. If I had the money to drop on one I would

I’m wearing a set of wedgewood 12.2s no signs of wear after a season of 5-6 skates a week. I’d go with the px3s and add ppf film. I used it on my eflex5s and it saved those

Took these pics the other day and thought about this thread and thought it’d be a good idea to post as a visual for how the stick interacts with 6 hole for me. The true is about 25.5-26 (pro stock with sloped shoulder so hard to tell) and the warrior is a 25(equates to 24 with warrior measurement)

Went with a mach for a solid deal, hopefully this lasts past the juniors camps coming up

That spot hasn’t given me many issues. Goalie coaches I’ve had have pushed on leaning into shots like @UCLALabratsaid. My equipment factors that may help are a 24 inch paddle and a Bauer pro chesty with the widest floaters ever haha

Just snapped my Warrior V3i and looking at a new stick. The v3 wasn’t bad on durability but felt like it broke down quicker than others. I bought a Brian Elliott True 9x hoping for a good deal and it ended up being a super heavy foam core and not for me and my little arms at all. What are you guys using?

Thought that was mine for a second lol

The prep was my favorite part. When I move on from this mask probably not gonna paint my own mask again, but it was really fun I'm gonna be more patient when I repaint for the season. Also I think the paint I used wasn't great. I had a white base of some sort of Rustoleum, then I sprayed krylon red for lines and it worked so much better. Gonna grab that same paint in white for a base next time.
