Sounds like I should just get 2X Pro instead of even bothering with the G4 Pro then. Thank you all for your help with this. This would’ve been a big project and now a lot of time has been saved.

If I get G4 I will definitely try it first before modifying it. I preferred the 2x because it felt more snug than the g4 even when the g4 calf wrap was as tight as possible. I also liked the tune-fit because of how I could change the feel of the pad.

While visiting Monkey Sports the other day I noticed that the calf wrap is laced in on Warrior G4 pads. This means I can remove it. I also tried on a set of Bauer 2X Pro pads and I love the feel of that leg channel. I don't have G4 pads yet but when I get them do y'all think it'd be possible to make my own 2X knockoff calf wrap for G4 pads? Should I just have someone else make it to insure quality? You can see the lacing here:

I have Brian Elliot pro stock VH skates (not TRUE you silly goose). There's a little plastic wedge under the heel to increase the pitch of the boot.

Oh you're looking for one piece skates. Mine are two piece

Shush. Let me have my hopes lol

Good thing I've still got time

If I were you I'd get pro return True/VH skates, they're way cheaper (got mine for under $500). If you have the budget for full custom True skates then by all means go for it. I have no issues with energy transfer in my Elliott pro return skates due to the lower volume of the boot. My skates are probably a half a size to a size big for me but they feel snug so you don't really notice.

Well hopefully we're different then. I don't want to be stuck at this height for the rest of my life.

I'm in 9th grade and I'm almost 5'10". @Max27 I demand a picture of you standing completely straight up next to the crossbar. Ignore the stick. You've seen it before.

I recently upgraded to Brian Elliott pro return VH skates. They are much stiffer and much lower volume than either the 4500 or the 5500. Basically they're exactly what I was looking for.

Backpack In all seriousness, please don't do that idea. I actually do want to make a backpack from some Reebok Premiers just because I think it'd look cool and nobody seems to care about the Reebok Premier line.

Thank you! I have officially been cleared to return to play

I have a Warrior G3 Pro glove and it closes flawlessly. Pucks also end up in the pocket way more often than they did in any of my CCM/Reebok gloves. Not sure if that's my improved hand-eye or the fact that the G3 pocket is bigger.

The way I see it, if they don't want you on their team then it'll feel even better when you beat them during the season.
