Well I was in Toronto for a hockey tournament this past weekend and I stopped by Dukes just go go for a look at what they had and my blocker was getting old and I convinced my parents to buy this baby for me
.
From the moment I put it on my hand I wanted it...badly. Ive only used it for two games but for those two games it has been working amazing.
The first thing I noticed about this blocker was the amazing comfort and mobility of the palm. Two other things that drew me to the blocker was the massive sideplate which is great for shots that are trying to sneak under the arm. Also I thing the curve of the cuff is perfect for deflecting shots over the net.On some other blockers I have had the cuff would be way to small or way to big for my liking but I think this is just perfect. Another thing I love about it is the weight. It is way lighter than my last blocker (Bauer Vapor). This blocker has great protection on the fingers and especially on the thumb and index finger.
There is only one thing that I would change on the blocker and that is the opening (where you put your hand in). I think its a little too small and my C/A wrist gets caught once and a while.
The blocker is stock all white jenpro.
