  1. If it's any conciliation, I'm using a fairly worn-in TGC spec RBK Premier and I do feel shots pretty much anywhere...and I'm playing so poorly right now compared to what I was before the pandemic that I'm really embarrassed about it. The team I got on is shit for defence in all ways imaginable and I have to step up my game to "super hero" mode if we want to win some before the real season starts in September.
  2. I find it odd but still flattering that it's mostly dudes coming in with the compliments loll
  3. Well I wore my knee lock tighter tonight and STILL my knee tries to ride off the knee block. Tried to tighten my knee strap too before hitting the ice but it felt like it would mess with my rotation. I'm getting pissed man... To tie in with that other thread that says it's not always the gear...well in this case, it\s ALLLLLL the pads fault
  4. My current pandemic flow and beard
  5. Anyone use, or at least tried on, the following and can compare size/bulkiness?: Senior GT2 G5 X3 (not the + one)
  6. Spoke to JRZ guys and sent in pics of the stick. After review, they will replace it for me. Happy camper
  7. Always under the socks, with any brand or model. I did notice Kaskisuo wears them over his socks. Rotation seems fine. Just dealing with dialling in my pads straps setup cause my knee slides off the landing during scrambling. Totally unrelated to the knee pads.
  8. Got a semi-hard shot from the point on my left knee in the b-fly and I felt it, not enough to cringe or be injured but enough for it to feel like a bean your buddy would give you on the shoulder. Maybe it was the right angle, who knows. Overall I'm satisfied with them for the moment.
  9. I got Fat Blades from Step for my Bauer Vertexx...??
  10. Looking at this option, does the strap interfere with knee pads, especially during rotation?
  11. I am VERY interested in int the TF9? by True. They say 4mm option available. Waiting for more first hand feedback.
  12. Spoke to Simon at JRZ and the catch is most likely a pro-palm as I couldn't find a tag indicating P for practice-palm as they would have done.
  13. This is the issue with skates in the industry, as new products are developed, the customer doesn't get the option. It's a "here is what we have because it's the new trend" approach. It's most likely a financial decision otherwise Bauer/CCM would offer that option for their blades. This is where True will get new customers, and why blade only companies exist.
  14. Well in this case, I went from a 36" in my Reactor 6000 to a 35" in my Reactor 9000. It is better but not perfect.

    McKenney XPG1

    Any reviews gang on the XPG1 line?
  16. The frustration is real...pads, shoes, jeans, you name it
  17. Bringing this back to life. Leaving the professor strap discussion aside, I went from a 36" to a 35", same brand, for initial reasons brought up in this thread and oddly enough my knee does feel to still land lower and a little off on the the knee block despite me using the knee lock elastic in the traditional way. I put some slack on my toe tie set-up and my boot strap is loose. How the hell can I go down a size and still have landing issues??
  18. Shuffles, t-pushes were all uncomfortable or awkward in my 3mm
  19. I love the blocker but I would rather order one in my color choice. The glove feels nice but I wish it wasn't so thick, I prefer a game ready palm. It is cool to own and I was a fan of his since his Habs days.
