Thats a good amount of flexibility, the ones I looked at were as stiff as a board. Then again, thoose are well broken in.

How hard are you pressing down on those, I had no idea the RBK's where that flexy

then again, the 590's where flex if you pushed hard, still didn't mean they where a very flexy pad.

I got to check out the RBK glove (590 version) and blocker last night. The glove didn't seem any different than the 590, it was nice.

I really liked the changes Lefebvre made to the blocker. On first glance it looks like the standard Lefebvre blocker with an (even more) ginormous sidewall. I was suprised at how light it was on picking it up. It was slightly smaller, I think that was the NHL regulation size. Putting it on my hand, it had a great range of motion, much more ergonomic than the old 570/580/590 blockers. The wrist seemed to articulate much more easily on the Premier. I picked up a stick and was really suprised to find that the sidewall didn't interfere with the stick or grip at all, I find that this is a weak spot with a lot of the siewall blockers. For comparson, I tried on the blockade and gatekeeper blockers and preferred the premier. I found that I could stretch my hand open an flex my wrist with the RBK no problem, but the thumb and finger guards and wrist on the CCM blockers didn't give the freedom of movement that the premier did.

Both pieces are built the way you would expect anything from Lefebvre to be put together. They were nice, the changes to the blocker are good and logical improvements.

LOOKING TO GET NEW RBK - I am trying to decide on the colour. Just going to throw out the narrowed selections. Hoping some of you fellow tenders can give me some feedback.

Most just doctored up with MS PAINT.

Plus I want to see if I can post a picture.
