Of course! Glad you liked it!

Like any knee protection is better than none, but yeah probably still going to hurt quite a bit. Never thought about using volleyball knee pads before!

@@ChikenMastr it’s supposed to act as a cushion between the knee and the proper goalie knee pads

@@GuillaumeBellemare Even good kneepads kinda suck as it pertains to landing comfort. Most knees will protect though. Wearing additional padding underneath adds height, stability and comfort. Will never do without.

Thanks!

Yeah the camera is pretty small there in the net lol Love to see someone else out at the rink!

Some how this one slipped through so sorry for the late response. You totally can, just keep in mind that those surfaces will tear the pads up faster than ice.

@@ChikenMastr thanks

That’s an interesting question. I don’t exactly know for sure, but I will say that having the stick blade facing the correct way helps with redirecting shots that are low on the ice. I have seen some people put the butt end of the stick in the T of their glove with the blade backwards to achieve a familiar feeling when playing the puck. I don’t think there’s an official ruling, but using the stick as intended has more benefits, but if you really think it’ll help then I can’t stop ya lol Hope that helps!

@@ChikenMastr oh ya no I'm sure using it the correct way is way better. I just remember when I was playing (trying to get back into it, just need the gloves and I'm solid😁) thinking "why don't I just use a left handed goalie stick so I can actually play the puck well?" 😂. Never did but its always been in the back of my mind. If there's not an actual rule and I can find a used stick for cheap enough I might give it a shot when I'm back out on the ice. Kinda experiment and weigh out the pros and cons. If nothing just for the fun of it.

I guess I haven’t really tried to touch my head much with these. I’d agree that mine are on the bulkier side. Battle as old as time between more mobility and less protection vs more protection and less mobility.

Thanks buddy!!

First thing: have some confidence in yourself and your craft. Push yourself and I know you can get there! I’d say make a bet with them. Make JV and they owe you a head! I do like the Weapon X. It’s a tough, consistent head. If you like stiffer head then I’d say it’s perfect. I would also check out the natural version of you want a softer head built with the same features. For your other question: I regularly use the Burn FOs and Duel 3. Some of the heads in the video have broken (weapon X and Duel). I’ve gone through a lot of heads trying to find the perfect one for me. Some just aren’t for me as much as others, but I keep them around every once in a while.

@@ChikenMastr that means a lot that you responded thank you

Of course!

Right?? Our gear is just the best anyways!

@@ChikenMastr very true

Got em new! Fear not, the black Bauers are still around!

@@ChikenMastr good to hear!

Yeah lol. Had it off to work on my mask.

I would start with how you feel about the L12’s. If you’re a big fan I would point you more to the Catalyst line (which I have a video on coming soon). I would you to try them out on yourself at a shop to really get a feel and compare.

@@ChikenMastr right, i love them but im not a ride or die type of guy so i don’t mind changing it up. i just dont know if its a big jump coming from them

You’re definitely going to notice a difference for sure. Bauer has a different feel to their pads and are going to be a lot lighter.

I started out with some old set of Boddams and yea those were a pain. Pads really have come a long way! Yeah the double cup is more important than some people might realize

Hello there!

It was a good skate for sure! I’m super in the Agent stick and will never be able to go back to my other sticks lol The Shoresy jersey has to be one of my favorites for sure! Been doing the goalie thing just about 2 years now and I’ve been loving every second of it!

@@ChikenMastr that's awesome! Definitely enjoy the goalie content. That's an expensive stick to fall in love with lol. Hope it lasts you a good long time. Been enjoying your videos. Keep after it!!

Praying it lasts with each shot it eats! Glad you like the goalie content and thanks for the support!

@@ChikenMastr you are welcome

Learning from past mistakes 😂

Expecting my call up any day now! 😆

My new True 7x3’s

That’s goves for a hockey goalie, i would know, I play hockey

The glove and blocker have held up extremely well! However the leg pads have some spots with major wear, especially on the boot. The stitching on the front is getting worn out fast just where it contacts the ice a lot. Aside from that they’re holding up great

Thanks bud! It's my favorite by far!

I would say it is. ECD has really come up an amazing scoop on all their newer heads (think Mirage 2 and Weapon X) and this head follows that pattern.

They are! Goalie pants tend to be a bit shorter than player pants, but the big difference is the padding. Goalie pants have thicker pads on the front and inside thigh as well as extra external pads on the front. If you held the two next to each other you would find the goalie pants to be beefier, which makes sense. Hope that helps!

Oh noooooo!! That's a tragedy!

@@ChikenMastr besides the bungees breaking from an rvh push the pads are really solid compared to my old ccm pads

Yeah the pads are fantastic! I'd probably recommend something like Pro Laces (I'm looking at those too for once mine blow out).

@@ChikenMastr I switched back to regular 72inch skate laces they are better for rvh

Thx bud!

Honestly I never even thought about the M5 Pro's. I probably should have tried them out just to be sure, but I still stand by the X5 Pro's. I can imagine the M5 Pro's being much much stiffer and a tad but heavier compared to the X5 Pro.

Sigh I’m not sure why I didn’t try the X5 before settling with the M5. After watching your review seems to be more suitable for my style. Jealous of the black colors you have they look sick! Keep up the videos !

Thanks man! I love the all black too! Sometimes we just gotta work with what we got. I've recently been having some remorse sometimes about what if I had gotten a different set and if they would fit me better than these, but at the end of the day these are mine and I love them!
