Good suggestion. It’s really stupid to offer anything resembling a Synergy without trying to get the texture right. Pro should make a more detailed Synergy inspired graphics package; call it Pronergy or STnergy or something. I’d go for a Starskie rip-off. Those were nice looking. Model E kevlar looks closer to Warrior’s narrower weave from the early Dolomite days anyway.

I might do something similar on my next custom order. I loved my original yellow Macdaddy back in 2008-2009. 

Just my opinion, but if you're looking for yellow graphics at that price point, you're much better off getting together with a few friends and ordering some PRO sticks. I know they take 2-3 months, but the quality is far superior to a mid-level Bauer stick with a Synergy paint job. You can use your specs instead of only having three options for curve and four for flex. The "Model E" build with kevlar grip is based off original Easton sticks.

Those are awesome ChrisMolnar! Great taste and deserving of COTW. I was going to order the new prism graphics on my next order, but now I may recreate my original Easton and Warrior sticks instead.

EK65's 2023 teal and Seals AX1's with funnel cuffs. I also regret not buying a pair of Denver University 13" QRE because the palms were beat up. I could have just sent them to ITR.

Those look like an earlier iteration of the 5070/6070/7K Pros. Since they're brand new with tags and 14" is a very desirable size, list them at ~$250 and see if you can get any takers. 

Nice job! Your items are listed for great prices and should sell fast. 

They run small. I wear a medium girdle, but wear a M+ or L QRE shell. If you're in between sizes, go with the larger size. 

DK has one:

Still available. Great pads, I just have too many pairs. 

Final price drop. 

Senior medium in good, used condition. $50 USD + shipping. https://sidelineswap...ull-description

The 20 versions have nash palms instead of micronash for more durability. Otherwise, they're the same glove. 

You sure that is it? There was a step down in foams from previous top end Warriors and the next line.

I have both pairs from PSH and they feel identical minus the palms. There may be some differences in the foams and plastics, but nothing that I can see or feel. I believe it's similar to CCM's system of the HG12/14, HG97/98, etc. 

Appreciate the feedback! That makes sense. Any idea if the same rule applies to the Covert 20 vs Covert QRE?

Yes, the same applies to the Covert line. The ECHL has a lower budget than the AHL and NHL, so they rely on gloves lasting longer. When CCM was the ECHL's sponsor, their HG12, HG97, and other gloves had kevlar overlays on the palms to help durability. 

ITR Hockey will be able to repair those, no problem. They need new palms, gussets, and re-attachment of the cuff roll. If you want to restore the original look and feel of the gloves, he has the same micronash material used on your Creepers. Otherwise, you have many palm options such as digital, mustang, or even standard nash. 

Has anyone else had huge delays with USPS lately? Packages that usually take 2-3 days have been taking 8-10 days, sometimes more. All my packages have been going through the Dallas, TX distribution center no matter where they're shipped from. Dallas is 1,765 miles from me, so I'm not sure why they keep going there and not Sacramento (40 miles) or at least San Francisco (130 miles.) 

My international packages usually go to LA as well. but for some reason every single thing has been going through Dallas. I know USPS has three international shipping centers (LA, CHI, NY) but my guess is that Dallas is their hub for ground "disadvantage" packages. It's in the middle of the country so it makes some sort of sense, but it's a logistical nightmare. I just received a package from Illinois that I ordered on the 20th of August. 

Maybe Labor Day sales have them backed up?

That makes sense. The packages going to Dallas has been going on since the end of August, so maybe it's where they process all the parcel post/ground advantage packages? I have had a few issues with priority mail as well, but most of the items sent have been with the cheapest shipping method via SLS.

Usps is a joke ! Trump was right.

I agree, but let's not make this a political thread. I just want to see if anyone else is having the same issue as me and if anyone knows the cause. 

Same. I’ve had a package stuck in Iowa for 6 days now

Same here with a package going to Michigan. It went to Dallas first, which is in the opposite direction. 

The Catalyst and TF boots feel similar to me, however my TF9's are roller skates and I've never used the TF on ice. 

True SVH customs. Much better than the Hzrdus Pros that I tried and eventually sold. The jury is still out on durability (some stitching and glue coming apart) but they're extremely comfortable. 

I'm so tempted to replace my now 2 (or 3?) generations old Trues early next year. I've stuck with the Shift holder this time, but I think I may switch it up if I do go for another pair. What I can't decide on is which holder to choose. With Step being so hard to find for Tuuks, it makes sense to go with the XS holder. But I've heard the new Bauer steel is just as good as Step now, so maybe just go with the Powerfly holder. Too many decisions.

The new JRZ steel is on par with Step Steel and fits both the XS and Edge holders. If you want a stiffer holder, go with the XS or Powerfly. If you want something a bit more flexible, go with the Edge.

Is that an option now, or did you get lucky somehow?

They came from PSH that way, so I'm assuming it's an option for pro players. I do know they can send the boots without any holes, as I've mounted a few for customers.
