  1. Just figured I'd put this here for safe keeping. Overview: Ultrasonic Pads: Custom specs include XL size, added leather straps for that tight feel, soft core, no knee elastic, professor strap, and added pro laces armor and a leather strap that I loop through the lacing inside the pad to go through the lundy loop of my skates. Ultrasonic Blocker: A blocker IS NOT just a blocker. To give me some added feel, I use a golf glove underneath to really make it feel like it is a part of my hand and not just an extension. Works like a charm! Ultrasonic Glove: Game ready, nylon wrist strap, double T with nylon lacing in between but skate lace on the outside for added sight when tracking the puck. Ultrasonic Stick: 27" paddle, P34 Curve for better puck handling, rounded paddle for better feel. I use a tennis overgrip for my grips because they're more inexpensive (broke college student) but they also provide me a better feel. Tape a knob underneath that on my grip for more size and stability in my stance. Bauer 960 Helmet: Painted myself, pictured is a Bauer cat eye but I now use an open mouth cat eye from goalieparts.com. Highly recommend. I use Kova's open backplate straps and they're insanely high quality. True One-Piece Skates: Love these things to death but they're wearing down quickly. White toe cap for added sty points. Don't use the insole they provide, I just use the red one that normally goes underneath it. CCM Axis 1.9 Pants: Great for tucking your chest protector, highly recommend. That's all there is to it. Bauer 2X Pro Chest Protector: Not much to say other than it's the best C&A I've EVER used, coming from someone who wore Vaughn exclusively up until last season. OTHER ACCESSORIES: Bauer 1X Knee Guards and Garter Belt, Kova Suspenders, Roughneck Neck Guard, Bauer Cut Protective Socks, Vaughn V6 Goalie Cup. TL;DR: MODIFY YOUR GEAR TO BEST SUIT YOUR NEEDS AS A GOALIE
  2. Design looks awesome! Happy to be an inspiration. A couple words of advice: 1. You're going to get frustrated. This is a part of the process, but when things don't go your way, think of it as a way to learn rather than a setback on your project. 2. Let your creativity flow. Got a subtle design you want to throw in there to give it some depth? Do it! Worst comes to worst, you can just paint back over it if you decide it isn't right for you. 3. Be patient! Sufficient dry times are a must. Rushing straight in to your next coat is never a good thing, so trust the process and give yourself adequate time to make sure that your design comes to life exactly as you wanted it to. Keep up the good work! Make sure to keep us updated, and have fun with it!
  3. Beats me, i just always assumed it was for safety reasons. At least i might be able to fake it as a player skate
  4. @Tim_TRUEHockey I'm thinking about getting a pair of True 2 Piece skates, but I have a question. I'm thinking about becoming a part time referee, and there is a rule saying that I can't use skates that have goalie blades/runners because there is a chance of the blade to injure players on the ice. My understanding with the two piece is that you use the same runners from the player skates to use in your goalie skates. Are the goalie blades interchangeable with the skater blades, and if so, are we able to buy the opposite blades separately?
