I added the Vapor professor strap and enjoy it better. It’s to hard to say exactly how it felt. It worked enough, it could secure your leg in there but I felt like it wasn’t designed to be there, maybe that was more mental that physical.
-
Yes, it worked well enough. I ended up switching back.
-
I believe the pads are second set received at Christmas. And he’s still using the original set gloves.
-
Fair I guess. But if the lack of a wrist strap was essential, the True guys would be wearing CCM. As you said all the Bauer guys have the option of a glove without a wrist strap and choose gloves with one.
-
Phenomenal graphic, however it seems CCM printing process is still having issues.
-
I don’t think that sample size really says much in comparison to the True 580 users who use do use a wrist strap, with quite a few still using leather wrist straps.
-
I say this is less shocking than the graphic considering the most used glove at the NHL level is the 2S based custom break. Heck, most guys haven’t adopted the cuff-less design of the Mach.
-
I feel like the previous mentality is changing, Where typically Bauer or whatever company would have their guys in the new graphic for the next Spring release. I think they want guys in the current line as close to release date to keep selling more Mach’s to the average consumer.
-
That was discussed. These are from a behind the scenes look where they took a look at both the Cowboys and Texans for inspiration.

Bauer TuneFit Connect (Professor Strap) - Supreme vs Vapor Differences
RedX replied to ZeroGravitas's topic in Pads
I stand by the CRS strap mod. I looped my boot strap end instead of the standard Vapor outer part.
-
I’m assuming it’s used because it’s light weight but it’s brutal. My unit has hockey pant material patched over it by an EQM.
-
This black fabric busts open pretty easily.
-
It’s the material they use on the arms that is going to be the first thing to go for you.
-
Maybe, it does have the Hockey Fights Cancer logo on the back plate.
-
Bob’s been wearing this Purple Hockey Fights Cancer mask for the last couple games.
-
The latest photos of him actually have him a true Hyperlite pad 2. After close to stock Mach last year. also using Pro CCM chest
-
Answering my own question. It does look like the calf set up comes from Bauer it’s just very custom.
-
I’ve also wondered about his pad leg channel strapping. Clearly custom, but looks after market. When Vasi wore the super open leg channel like this, it still looked like Bauer made it, these don’t.
-
In my opinion it is their best looking sidewall.
-
Custom option you can order. Hellebuyck uses it as well. Interestingly enough it comes with its own sidewall shape not available on the bindingless blockers.
-
There isn’t much room for variety in the streamline era. Kenesky seem to strike oil initally when the big brands were leaving guys bruised. That Kenesky run does seem to have ended, like you said CCM, Bauer, and Vaughn have been the go to units. However, I think there would be more Brian’s in the league then you would think.
