Played Semi pro box for 2 seasons. got discount codes. NEVER have I gotten anything like this. Really wish I could have gone to the next level. I miss playing every moment of every day. Watching this gave me that feeling of getting my first stick all over again. Opening all that gear must have been a treat.

You have built so much for our game and you deserve to have companies fighting for your signature. I’m not sure which set up you would be more comfortable with by I know from an in ovation standpoint epoch and ECD are both pushing what we know as normal for our sport and maverick has a large portion of the market with great pros and products. Use this time to tryout some different set ups on equipment and find your ideal way and make a playoff push!
