Yo, if you're just here to throw shade at Bauer, feel free to not come back to this thread. Never understand why people feel the compulsion to just come in some where and s*** in everyone's cereal just because they like one multi-million dollar corporation more than another. I happen to think Warrior's look like big Fisher Price toys for children, but I don't go in the Warrior threads and start trashing other people choices for no good reason. Go on enjoy yourself somewhere else instead of coming here to get riled up on purpose.

I swear Boston wasn't there when I looked the first time. Oh well that's my bad.

Yes I saw in the configurator. It's just so odd to me to not include Sport Gold or Minnesota Green, but then they include purple and copper? So strange.

Are these all the colors they offer? Seriously? No Minnesota Green or Sport Gold or Grey?

I've never felt the need to adjust the outer calf strap. All I need it is to hold everything from flopping around. In fact I'd rather have it lose so that the sliding surface on the calfwrap stays nice and flat on the ice.

Look at where the knee lock strap attaches to the calf wing. You'll see it's a Jenpro tab with Bauer embossed. On the 2x Pro, this area is just Nylon with no Emboss. On previous version of the Od1n pads (and Bauer's before that), the landing pad was velcro'd to the block. This meant you could pull off the velcro and adjust the inner attachment point of the knee strap. This meant you'd could fine tune the length of the strap (and ultimately it's tightness). If it's true that the landing pad is sewn to the block, then that adjustment is now gone. Meaning you only have the knee strap that came with it, with no adjustability, or replacement when the elastic starts to bacon.

It's so similar, I can't conceive of any way this is NOT TuneFit. You'll notice the knee lock is slightly different as well (leather tab has been added. Curiously, I wonder how you're able to adjust or replace the knee lock (I can't tell if the landing bad is sewn or velcroe'd to the block).

I have the Nylon. Funny thing is on my 1X, it never stretched. Very frustrating. BTW you have almost the exact same colors as I do (I have black top spears).

This is off topic, but have you had any issues with the assembly lace on your 2x stretching when using the Kenesky strap? The lace on my first set of 2x Pros stretched about 3 inches so I kept having to readjust my kenesky straps. I've been afraid to put them back on my second set.

You can expect that the UltraSonic will have the same knee wing options that the 2x has had for the past year. Those are: 1. Removable/adjustable knee wing 2. No knee wing Looks like TGN has order no knee wing. If you want to strap to the knee wing, you will have that option

TuneFit was a pro option for 2s so this may be a retail option now that TGN has chosen.

This spring, along with the Ultra Sonic line.

Tape all the way past the heel to the bottom of the paddle. Overlap the tape by 50% so there's always at least two layers of tape covering the heel. Change your tape often. I have the same issue if I don't pay attention to my tape coverage.

What Eli Wilson says: From RVH, follow over your post-side shoulder while reaching with the leading leg, once the skater hits the cross bar, quickly look over the other shoulder and finish pushing to the opposite post. What Mitch Korn says: Stay on your feet, look over your shoulder, keeping the puck centered on your back by shuffling. Change shoulders when the skater hits the cross bar. Even the experts don't necessarily agree. In the end, it only matter what works for you. I prefer to stay on my feet, but you may prefer staying down.

What I'm trying to say is don't neglect your offense in the pursuit of trying to reduce losses. All ships rise in a harbor.
