also, does anyone know if the little flap in the leg channel (marked in red in photo below) can be removed if i ask for it when i custom order v3s?

thanks

Its looks like your leg will be resting against where the straps come out of the pad on the inside part of the leg if you "gutt" the leg channel.

does anyone have pics of "butterfly strapping" (all the buckles below knee but two straps coming out of knee block) on a v3 they can post pics of please? i want to know if they are similiar to the rbk p2's as i am going to order pads really soon.

thanks

Butterfly strapping: Vaughn Velocity 3 "Pro Series" VPG 7500 Goal Pad <br><b><font color="blue">Goalie Monkey Exclusive!!!</b></font>

Traditional strapping: Vaughn Velocity 3 7500 "Hybrid Series" Pro Leg Pads<br><b><font color="blue">Goalie Monkey Exclusive!!!</b></font>

Just because where the straps come out of on the knee doesn't mean anything in regards to butterfly and traditional strapping. They both can be easily requested but the pics show the buckles in relation to butterfly and traditional placements.

i used to go to school with the guy that used to own those white, navy, and baby blu vaughn gloves

[Goalieworld20]

hi, i had a questions about the breaks in the velo threes. if i had them removed, as in a solid outer roll and no internal breaks, how stiff woudl the pads become?

and also in custom orders can you have them thinned out and made with an open rbk style leg channel?

well, if there is no outerbreak, i assume it will almost, if not, be the same stiffness as the rbk's. and yes, you can thin out the pads with a open leg channel. I believe gasman had his vaughn epics made with an open leg channel.

hope this helped,

usually i dont like how the epics look, but these look sick

[houndsgoalie29]

Thanks jcw, I was surprised myself how good they look..its the chance you take when you buy sight unseen. Nobody in the Philly area stocks Vaughn stuff...So i took a chance because i was desperate to rid myself of the RBK besides it was such a good deal i couldnt pass them up....

i know, i guess i was just wondering if they finally gave up on trying to force the v3 graphic since a lot of people were just doing v2 with v3 mod.
