So i went with the v3 b/c it had a smaller sidewall and i was able to custom order a diamond grip palm which i liked from my V2 blocker. The rx9 is definently a solid blocker and it would've been my second choice.
BTW didn't you have an R8 w/ v3 gloves setup and now a p2 setup?
Yea the big sidewall does look kind of weird..

And yeah I went from R8's which were pretty sick but not my style, with v3 gloves. I LOVED the v3 blocker but absolutly hated the catcher. I am now in full p2's. The pads I love, but the blocker and catcher I'm not crazy about. It seems like I have to hold my catcher weird to keep it square, and the blocker.... I just dont like.
