Finally got the picture with the team.

The GT2s must have done the trick!  Looking good Coop

Will there be a new composite stick coming out with the G5s?

@Kirk3190 would be able to answer that but I don't see Warrior releasing a new or 2nd line of composite sticks with the V1 being so new and doing so well

@motowngoalie Love Saab... So hard to find... But that is spectacular.  My lease is up on my Explorer next summer... I'm leaning towards a Volvo V60 R Design or a Kia Stinger.  

But you cn't go wrong with a car company that builds jets!

I'm sure the CCM AXIS line will be great. I don't see any reason to beleive it won't be.

But man, I'm going to miss the Premier line. Wish they could keep it around. Ah well, it is what it is I guess.

I think its a nostalgic or anecdotal thing.  As has been said other than the pad core/face and the inside roll, the Eflex and Premier can essentially be spec'd the same.  And from a market demand perspective they need a change.

Tell me it's just a name change with new lipstick and tweaks.

Or is it something very different?

Everything I've heard is big change

The most interesting thing I've heard is that these are the first non-CCM & Lefevre pad - they're apparently parting ways.

Wow... I'm curious what that means for the EF line

Huh? Care to share more? 

Brians will be offering a 3rd chassis on the Optik 2, Max will be added to the existing FLY and FLX

Replacement for the Premier line... Thoughts or guesses on the line?  I'm going with stiff, competing with the 2S or MAX Optik 2.

Finally found a good sale on these so I couldn't resist and also have 2 V1 Pro+ on the way to me to use for the upcoming season. Can't wait to try them out. I got the same black color as above in 26, Quick. 

Where and what was the sale?

Jeff took money - a lot of money - and ran away.  That’s theft.  That’s fraud.  How is he not in jail?

There is an ongoing investigation and a class action suit

I got confirmation that Bauer has ditched the Monster portion for the HAL straps.  They're now Bauer brand only.

Any wear on the Bauer Elite knee pads yet? Was considering a set as they wrap around nicely on the inside of the knee (as opposed to gform's normal offerings which focus on frontal impacts.)

Not yet.  Hockey should pick up at the end of the month.  Summer is pretty dead for hockey here

Are the knee sleeves quite tapered or could you wear them upside down?

Tapered.  And the top side has a rubber ring on the elastic to prevent slippage.  There isn't one the lower opening.

So the advanced aging, work related? Or too many "ski trips"

Work for sure.  Paired with years of playing hockey, football and being a baseball backcatcher (when your hockey coach is also the ball coach)

How come you're doubling down?

I'm 38 and to quote my acupuncture dude, I have the body of a 45-50 year old.  Extra cushion for my knees.  Hoping to limit the impact.  Testing mostly for now to see if they help with impact on my knees.  

I may upgrade my knee pads as well later this year to the newer X2 Pro

Minor mail day...

Bauer Elite G Form knee pads.  I plan to wear these under the Warrior knee pads supplied with my GT pro set.

And I ordered the new Buttendz future grip.  Smaller knob and twirl on the grip.

As a Flux user I'm curious to see how the twirl grip feels.

The one piece sliding surface on the FM Protos may also help with power transfer and thus slide easier, though it may only be a marginal difference that would be much improved with a material like Primo.

Blockades were so ahead of their time...

New stuff (again). Still looking for that "perfect pad". Lots of off-the-board specs on these.

Do tell... Very much on my radar pending the Optik 2 release

Dennis is really pushing the boundries with the Proto line.  Not for me (although I've always wanted to use a glove) but as Ron Swanson would say, Bully for you!

Just now, coopaloop1234 said:

You mean not match? 

DAMN YOU... but yes... Each piece of gear has a different color scheme

The order has not been placed yet but hopefully we'll be able to do that soon.

What do y'all think?

Just my insane OCD... but why do the gloves and pads NOT match?

Interesting post by Dwayne Lum on GGSU

I got these few days ago. Tried them yesterday and now ready for next season. 

Great use of color on the back side of the pad

Where do we get autographs from @coopaloop1234
