Hi.
I'm currently using a full EFLEX 5 set. I'm a fan, been wearing EFLEX since EFLEX2s, and continue to get the successor each time they release. As I have progressed to more fast-paced gameplay, I feel as if the EFLEX 5s aren't cutting it for me. The rebounds don't pop off the blocker unless I bring my hand out and lead with it, each time, or track it and follow through. If I am screened, and the puck hits my blocker, it won't bounce as far or high as I have noticed for other blockers, often close by for a juicy rebound. As for the pads, I enjoy them but the sliding is not great.. (maybe this has something to do with Leferve departing, not sure, not the biggest gear nerd). The pads seal nicely and I am pretty flexible so I have anything but a narrow butterfly, but sometimes closure is a real battle, even with a looser toe tie to give the pad more slack (I think). I play a flexible, Carey Price modeled (shocker), but now more Logan Thompson esque gamestyle. Would love for rebounds to come off my pads nice, never really tried anything too stiff so open to all options, not really familiar with anything other than the EFLEXs. Thanks for reading. I appreciate any and all feedback/comments.
