At the moment I have 3 pairs of Warrior QRL pro stock gloves. One has the flex cuff, one has a fixed cuff, and one is to a specific player's specs.
I noticed that two of the gloves (player's spec and flex cuff) have the axyflex flap and much stiffer foam than the team stock fixed cuff. The team stock fixed cuff also has a smaller backhand pad under the cuff.
Have any of you noticed the same? The nice part about the smaller backhand piece is that it shortens the glove (which I prefer). But I'm shocked at how squishy the padding is compared to the other two. Why such drastic differences?
Team stock w/ flex cuff
Panarin w/ shortened cuff
Both of the above look the same
Team stock w/ fixed cuff looks completely different
I thought about picking up a pair of QRE w/ the flex cuff then having them shortened by CPR, but even if I did that, they wouldn't be as short as the fixed cuff shown above because of the difference in padding
