In Topic: Why is Hall still wearing the original 1x skates?

Some guys just dont like to switch things up.

For example:

 

Weber and his NXG stick

Strange thing is they are Nexus sticks.  I'm kinda surprised Bauer would not push them to newer graphics package.

In Topic: Anyone use Bauer 2X Pro elbow pads?

11 December 2020 - 11:28 AM

I bought a pair about a month ago and have used them twice on ice, coming from 2S Pro elbows. The forearm guards on 2X pro are slightly tapered so they feel lessy bulky than the 2S pro and wrap my forearms much better. The only problem I have is that the right pad (my bottom hand) always slide down when I'm playing so I have to constantly pull it up. I blame the 3-piece design, since same problem happened when I was wearing the FT1 elbows, which also have 3-piece construction. Eventually I had to switch back to the 2S Pro, but if you are a fan of the 3-piece design, and don't have massive forearms, I suggest you to try them out.

 

@Hills has made a in-depth review on the 2X Pro, which I found very helpful:

 

 

If you also wear size medium and are interested in getting a pair I can sell mine to you at a cheaper price

 

I found I had to put a piece of tape around the elbow section and now my FT1s stays in place.  How did you find the fit of the 2x pro vs the FT1?  are they deeper fitting?

RBZ line retail has always been the same as pro so I’m assuming it’s the same with the Jetspeed. CCM can correct me if I’m wrong.

 

 

Yeah my pro FT1 elbow pads are the same as retail. Would love it to have slightly longer forearm protection.

 

With the acquisition of Step Steel will they come stock (at least on the high end models?)
