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.

the sidewall is bigger but it it only to help out for the goalie. I compared the 2 blockers and the v3 was smaller around the boarder. The binding on the v3 is so soft that it wont help to stop a puck and ITECH used that space to make the surface larger. Also on the v3 there is a ridge on the side of it and maxes out the NHL sizing limits. With the RX9 they dont have that so they can afford to make the side plate move down farther.
