GM "kipper spec" velocity
Got the "kipper" spec catcher from GM last week for my b-day. all giddy as with anything new. I havent bought a catcher since 1995!
the kipper spec replaces the OG T3500 vision.
with the smaller gloves means i am going to suck that much more. lol the glove is about the same size, the cuff is alot smaller, but actually pretty nice. I like the comfort pad that comes with the glove and best thing is that its removable unlike in the V3's. I almost bought a V3 instead.
pocket is smaller than my old T3500, but i moved some of the lacing around to add a bit more depth.
break-in, i have only used the glove once at pick up for about 1.5 hours. It feels pretty good getting softer, no where near butter, but in time.
no stingers but then again no one was shooting to my glove side this time for some reason.
its actually really balanced. i did manage to snag 2 pucks out of the air, and it was a bit difficult to feel the puck in the glove. the old glove you can totally "feel" the puck in the pocket. not this one. I will post a followup sometime next week.
thanks GM for getting everything squared away for me.
