Sorry, to make the following corrections in your post.
The VK5 and the VK7 have exactly the same breaks. They also use the same dies for the internal plastics. There are two breaks in the glove and over time the break will conform to the catching style of the Goalie. The glove can be broken in as a palm or a finger break.
The glove is not pro-palmed, what we changed was the thickness of the Plastics in the Glove. The plastics in the VK7 are 25% thicker to add more protection and longevity to the product. The Tee is smaller therefore it feels more solid. It again has not been changed in design. The plastics are made from the same dies as the 45" VK5 Glove. Plastics like anthing else reform shape over time, the lighter plastics did so more readily. The VK7 glove will also change a bit, but not as quickly as the VK5.
The outside stitching is meant to wear away. It is initially sewn into the pad to force a slight S Curve. After a few weeks the foam is trained to the curve and the stitching serves no other purpose. It wears away to prevent snow build-up that can slow you up in down movements situations.
The glove is stiffer out of the box, but we can make it game ready also. That will now be an option the customer can decide. Again, a game ready glove may not last as long as the standard production model.
Thanks for the positive review,
Marc
