Money. Prolaces are expensive (worth it imo). Bauers toe ties are also just too short which is probably why they break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised that a company with the clout and resources that Bauer has cannot make a toe tie that won't break. I would advise anyone buying Bauer pads to ditch the stock elastic and put in reinforced ProLaces instead (Hybrid, Armour, Trav Spec, TGN Spec). I'm curious to see any on-ice reviews with the Shadows and to see how their performance compares to Ultrasonic and Mach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmedic6 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I wish Bauer would make an XL tune fit + calf strap. Not everyone has small calf's. Even fully extended these things will barely fit around my calf's, and that's without knee pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait to see how that turns out! I should get my gear within the next 2 weeks! I placed an other for a stick today. Will get 2 to refresh my UltraSonics, but with 2 different colorway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vapour 90 should come with a wrist strap still. Pretty sure the only way you can't get one is by getting the Mach ROM option in the pro customizer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey34 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 @maxtm30 and @ZeroGravitas How are you guys liking the shadow blocker over the Mach? Specifically the side wall which one fits the stick better mach or shadow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmikex32 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Anyone know a safe and easy way to remove Bauer logos? Read a couple things about acetone but seems that’s messes up the jenpro/skin. Blow dryer get hot enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d be left with a clear logo (unless they changed to dye with injection plastic this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically the side wall which one fits the stick better mach or shadow? Haven’t worn my set yet, I really want to take the time to shape the glove as best I can. Held a stick and it felt great for me. Seems like there is a little interference because you loose the flexibility of the Mach protection. The thumb piece is the Vapor thumb, so it’s not as angled towards the palm and not as flexible as the Old Supreme thumb. This is something I did not pick up on in my Mach Vs Shadow thread. If you’re unsure about it, Go in store and try the blocker with a stick and see how it feels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that out with a pair I got, the outer Bauer logos came off and underneath was the Bauer logo printed on the skin material underneath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is why you would bother at all being vain, i want my blocker to match my leg pads...im ordering a set and deciding whether or not blacking out all logos or just having the Bauer logos visible and going to match it with a mach blocker which is black with white Bauer letters. Sounds like its more of a pain than its worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
