I actually got to use the catcher this morning.

Morning pick up. pucks were actually being shot to my glove side. I took a few to the palm. While in my OG T3500 i would have had to stop and shake off the stingers. The shots to the palm this time were felt, however no excruciating pain this time. By no means am i missing it at all! lol. I also took a couple pucks to the upper thumb area, oddly enough there is no twisting of my wrist yet due to the angle of the puck going/hitting the glove. its pretty nice.

One bad thing is that the cuff on the glove is so small that its starting to interfere with the lower section of the EPIC C/A at the wrist. I hiked up the wrist strap a bit and it seemed to work. It is a more difficult to shoot the puck turco style, but i will have to adjust.

i have also adjusted my glove hand position for my style of play. it feels broken in but not butter like my 13 year old glove.
