Hey lads, I need all of your equipment whores knowlage.
I'm in need of a new set of gloves. I love the looks of 4 roll gloves like the franchises and Bauer Pro 4 rolls but I love the fit of the CL's and TotalONe's. Any suggestions?
Also with sticks. I've been using the TotalONE for the past 2 years. I love them but I want a change. I love the feel and pop of sticks like the Widow, APX, RS but the blades are trash (break easily) but in the other hand sticks like the Mako, Ai9, 20k have a good blade but dont have that good of pop. Any suggestions?
I know I'm asking a lot but heck why not give it a try. Thanks boys.

Personally I have used a few Pro stock RS sticks and S19 sticks and the blades arent as weak as retail so maybe try a prostock RS or S19. They still have great pop on them. I'm a big fan of Easton sticks and just don't like the feel of Bauers. As far as gloves go I love my Franchises glove great protection on them but I have to go with the narrows or else they just feel to big. I've tried x60 gloves but I just go back to my Warriors.

The 4 Rolls are going to be more of a classic style of fit whereas the U+ CL and Total ONEs are anatomical style gloves. I have yet to come across a 4 Roll style glove that will fit like those other style of gloves. A Franchise in a narrow width might be the closest thing.
As for sticks with pop try out the RBZ. I had one, it shoots great but not much else.

If your bag has wheels, you don't.

I've been looking at the X60's and Narrow Franchises.
I have a RBZ at the moment, the blade is god awful. Definitely the most disappointing stick I've got.
Thank you for your help!

Bakerboy has a pair of Jiri Hudler Bauer 4-rolls that aren't your average cut. I believe they are more contoured to fit like an anatomical style glove. If you need red mitts, then you could pm him.
I need a pair of black or black and yellow (bruins colors) gloves :/

How is the blade on Pro Stock Widows? I've been really leaning to those.

Pro stock Widows I don't know never used one but Dolomites are amazing. The Dolomite had great blade feel and felt very solid.

Just talked to a buddy of mine who's a Warrior Rep and he was being honest with me saying that the Pro Stock Widow's have the exact same durability as the stock Widow's which aren't amazing. I'll probably order a 2 pack of RS's sometime soon then if I can find some.

Well thats good to know I've been thinking about getting a pro stock widow, although I dont seem to break sticks all that often. With the RS sticks just a heads up like most pro stocks they are often repaints. I've seen alot of s19 repainted as RS.

I had a pro stock widow with the dager taper and I have to say I loved every minute of it. The blade did break, but it did hold up better than my RS blade though. I found the RS to go soft while the widow suddenly cracked. The dager taper is great for wrist and snap shots though it didn't feel right on slap shots. I could lay into some slappers with the RS.

I have 3 Brooks Laich Warrior sticks and the blade has held up for over a year on all of them. I'd definitely go with a Warrior or an Easton stick.
