  1. I know some people were having issues with the falling off the block. The stock Rotation strap isn’t great. Here’s a cheap hack. I attached the CRS boot strap. It was pretty tight the first use. But I hung the pads from the strap to stretch out and break the strap in. 
     

    You may also note I added some extra Velcro real-estate to the calf wrap. My strapping is basically all concentrated around my upper calf.

  2. Sometime in the 2020-2021 season Brossiot switched from the stock Vapor style outer calf wrap and strapping to this modded version seen here.
     

    So my question is is it an after market mod? It’s much different then anything Bauer has done including Vasi when he had his open leg channel. 

    And for discussion sakes is there any (other) goalies using obviously /heavily modded equipment still? (I don’t mean variants of options from a drop-down menu).

    Bob’s skates?

    Perhaps I’m grasping at straws. But the UltraSonic still has the Supreme branding on it. 
     

    The Hyperlite could still carry the Vapor branding as well. 

    Looking at the blank face of gear as well leads me to believe I’m right.

    What stands out most to me personally is the fact that it says vapor on the cuff of the blocker

    For what it's worth in that picture it still says Vapor down the side of the pad

    Yeah they’re all 2X graphic. However, there are a lot of tweaks that aren’t on the standard 2X Pro (which I own). The blocker has the ultrasonic palm and cuff, but with the 2X sidewall. I’m fairly certain this is not a custom option. I know regardless of what graphic you needed to order the Ultrasonic blocker (sidewall and board included) to get the new palm and cuff. This seems to be a hybrid.  

    They’re small details but something Is different. The molding on the lower calf wrap just below the straps is different then the Ultrasonic and 2X pro. Maybe I’m looking too hard but the molding is similar to molded graphic on the front. 
    The Tune Fit straps seem to loop back and Velcro to themselves. And the professor strap uses similar loop back Velcro instead of the clip that comes on the UltraSonic set.

  6. I may be looking into things to closely, but there is enough tweaks I think these are Demo hypercomps. Slight differences in the outer calf wraps molded graphic and professor strap. I believe these are demos of the Vapor replacement (Hypercomp). Slight changes in the Velcro straps? Looks like you can play around with them a little more.

  7. I was always under the impression that the calf lacing was due to how Lefebvre interprets the NHL rules regarding the calf set up. Now that said I don't know why all companies don't have something similar but that is what I was told.

      "Calf-wings must be inset one-half inch (1/2'') from the inside five-hole, creating a distinct edge, and attached to the back cover. Calf-wing protectors must be one piece and cannot include wedges (removable or non-removable)."
