Might I suggest also the Mckenney Pro Spec Elite. It's the second level model. I've own 2 over the past 2 decades and they are fairly light. Brian's Subzero is also a light option I believe. There should be some in clearance somewhere.

I read somewhere that the bed of the CCM is too flat for the Bauer cowlings? Don't quote me as this hasn't been fact checked as far as I know.

I was just thinking that as I was reading through the comments. If I would of never experienced Smith gloves followed by Warrior, or if they would of never existed, I might be a Brian's or Vaughn glove guy at present. Who knows. Then again, I have a tremendous itch to try the Mckenney GPX2 Pro Elite glove and the Boddam Fuze has also got my attention for its shape. Future tests if the funds are present

For me it's not just the stiffness. All gloves need to be broken in regardless. It's also or mostly how they feel when you try, emphasis on "try", to get your hand in and be comfortable or feel like the glove suits the shape and/or size of your hand. I get that we all have different hand sizes and shapes. That's why gloves are so personal in our gear choices.

That left one looks like it would catch anything. Beautiful shape! That rings soooo loud to me. I've had some good gloves over the years but nothing seems to come close to Warrior at the moment...for me. I just HATE that when you read a 590 it translates to a 75 break and a 580 translates to a 90 break. Why couldn't they just say 590=90 or drop the whole 500 numbers and just stick with the 90 or 75 or 60 or 35 break throughout the industry for crying out loud!?!

The slack or over rotation seems more at the knee as it looks like the toe tie is preventing the rest to follow. How loose is the knee cradle? What model knee pads do you use? Skinny legs or athletic? All can be contributing factors to the issue. My Warriors have a bit of inner rotation in my stance but nothing crazy. A couple weeks ago I got in touch with Bonesy (the Nashville EBUG YouTuber) and asked him how he manages to have so much slack on his toe ties and not wear his pads tight yet still can keep his pads relatively square in his stance and when skating. He said he never noticed and he said that for mine, it could just be a question of how I strap them. Then again, the strapping set-up/system is quite different between his Trues and my GT2s.

Geez, looking at that, makes my 2S look NHL legal lolll

It's a small one on the front thigh but the shape could lead to bigger problems. Do I use shoe goo or something different?

Exactly as he states it in his recent video vlog.

Watched it this afternoon. It was good. Obviously MAF was a prominent figure in his report

Har har har

Thanks

As a goalie, your view of the action is so different from in the meilly (?spelling) in front, we see the open lanes and the open man andthe weak sides and the overloads and the numbers, etc. If you understand the Xs and Os, a goalie can make an excellent coach. It's like the point guard in basketball. You see the whole game, whereas your center or power forward only sees one portion of the play.

If this is an ongoing issue with all skates, have his foot/feet checked to see if it's a metatarsal issue or other. It might solve the bottom line issue (no pun intended) and eventually save you some money.

What exactly is this loosening thing you guys mention? Pics?

Seems most users have complained about the buckles durability.

These are my GT2s just laying around, waiting for the next game. They don't have a pre-curve but the outer break in coordination with semi-rigid thighs give me a 5 hole closure on a good night. That being said, I do my homework by implementing my hip flex exercises as a regular routine every day or second day and try my best to do a proper warm-up before and on the ice to be able to give the best my aging body can deliver. At best, ordering a pair of G7s with outer break and soft tops might help some but it won't be a McD formula for sure.

Something like this (my invention)...

When I went from my Bauer One80 to my now Vapor X170, the comfort was better, the weight was much better, the push off took a while to work on but finally is dialed in. The 2 main issues I had was first, the 3mm blade. I could get my mobility going, kept tripping on shuffles and t-pushes. So I went and got some 4mm replacements. Feels much better. Second issue was in fact the blade height. It put a tremendous strain on my knees and ankles. Took me 2-3 seasons to feel comfortable with it. I still feel a slight strain on my ankles when recovering from my butterfly but it's tolerable. I just gotta get my legs stronger to handle the load and transfers.

Haven't heard of this. What is it?

For 1500$, I would of expected a more sophisticated dock station with maybe a rotating camera on a swivel or track to have a more precise scan and less balance or swaying issues. Just a thought

Probably the name but the actual glove itself, I doubt. Supreme Pro or something like that? I think it's post Reactor 1/2/3/4/5/6. It looked like a sup'ed up GM21 https://www.hockeyworld.com/Bauer-Supreme-Jr-Catch-Glove

Nice to know. Is there a spec read out from the scan on the spot you can see or is it all a "behind the counter" kind of experience? Are there any videos on the process out there? I'll try to look for one on my side in the meantime.

I agree with both of you. Warrior and Brian's seem easy, but you can't tell how many clients messed with them over the weeks, months or even years if it's an old model. It's only natural to have a braking in period but there is a friggin limit after all. Seems like gloves 20 years ago were so much more supple. Remember the Bauer Supreme line? Felt like butter off the shelf.
