Stock profile is 30' for most brands, I believe Bauer falls into this. Graf used a 30' profile as well. Based on your description, you never re-profiled your Grafs. Over the course of multiple years of sharpenings, the blades have rounded out to something more in the player spectrum (9' to 11'), very little blade contact on the ice. You could round it out to a 26 or 27' if you want something a little bit less than what you currently have on your Bauer. You could also go with a Goalie SAM, which is an 11' front third. Middle of the blade on these has a 50mm flat spot and back is like a 27' I think. Would also recommend giving yourself time to adjust. The new holders are like 1/2" taller than the old cowling combos. It doesn't sound like much, but your entire body weight is 1/2" higher so weight shifts on your feet feel more dramatic. I tried skating with that style skate for over a year and couldn't get used to it.

This is a very unique sentence

COMposite vs comPOSite NestTech looks super breathable. I remember when the Koho 560 blocker came out with the ventilated finger stalls, it felt like I had an air conditioning unit on the inside of my blocker I'm guessing the NestTech stuff will feel the same. I do have some concerns about how well the impact rating will translate from a player style impact to pucks and sticks. Am also curious why there is no D30 in the XF pro line but it is present in the X9

Pretty much what @A.YOUNGoalie13 said below. also wanted to add a few points For the profiling nerds, less sharpenings = less change over time on the profile. There might be some minuscule gains in power transfer to the ice with the harder steel IIRC there is more carbon content in the cheaper steel, it's softer and more cost effective to produce When I had LS3Gs on my Vertexx holders, I was sharpening every 3 skates. I switched to Tydans on that Bauer holder and was getting 8-10 before I had to sharpen I think I'm on 30+ skates between sharpenings with my Step DLCs Mirror finish has a slight reflective to it

I'm probably the closest thing to a True/Lefevre fanboy on this site and my opinion is that this graphic is inexcusable. Worse than launch with those awful 12.1/20.1 graphics

Graphic reminds me of 20.2 (good thing)

IIRC there was a sample set made for Darling as well floating around social media goalie gear groups Also, there was an InGoal mag article that references how much work it was to get Roloson's gear right when he was a Warrior athlete, but it's since been deleted (https://ingoalmag.com/news/ingoal-insider-a-closer-look-at-dwayne-rolosons-pads/) Here's the link that proves it existed at one point https://modsquadhockey.com/forums/topic/57339-rolosons-warrior-pads-from-ingoal-magazine/

Big thing to consider here is the backhand and wrist straps. If you're married to the Warrior style with the extra freedom you may not like the Lefevre design

This set made its way to social media after he was done with it. It was a flat faced EF4 with v1 FRS in the back. So i'm pretty confident they were 20.1s with EF4 graphic

You're lookin at the toes, I'm lookin at how skinny the arms are

Let's correct this statement, no company wants to deal with him. He's got a decent following and you'd think someone would have approached him at this point.

The fact that the dude is a mod on r/HockeyGoalies now after deciding to jump ship off here is pretty much all you need to know. IMO he needed to have the big swingin dick in the room, and when he realized he wasn't that guy here he had to leave.

What game lol Right, why open yourself up to criticism if you aren't up to take the heat? It's not a job for everyone, and I think he was in it for what he thought would be 'free gear'

The dude has a strange thigh fetish

Adding to this. We're all freaking out about paddle size inconsistency already "WHY ISN'T A BAUER 67 FLEX THE SAME AS A WARRIOR 67 FLEX"

lol this would make selling used sticks so much more annoying Bobby Beerleaguer playing Division 19 can't shoot with anything but a 67 flex

Have one with -1 arms...but haven't skated in 2 months to try my new one. I'll let you know

@con50582 agreed to adopt, love, and care for it.

Similar in California. but…If you can afford a Lamborghini you can afford a $140 fine

Nothing juicy or super secret. Just realized it’s not a Ferrari, it’s a Lambo. Either way, putting a front license plate on a car like this is a sin IMO Don’t really think it’s his, but reminds me of social media influencers taking staged clout pics in a Gulfstream

He's gotta fund that Ferrari habit somehow

Pretty sure jerseys have gotten slimmer as materials have advanced, they are stretchier now. You could always measure both jerseys to get the definitive answer.

Hey, following up on this. Just talked to my guy, said he's ok with letting this go. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow from him and can PM you pics and details then.

OK, let me see what he wants to do with it. I think he's about same height as you
