I got my set at max hockey shed, in havertown pa about 20 min out of philly, they have alot of vaughn gear in stock. they just got a few of the new epic and v3 c/a's too

I was told I could have the V2 graphic put on the V3 pad with no upcharge, so...yeah.

hope this helped,

it did very much, thank you for the help.

possibly these pads with Price's old graphic (the one backstrom has now too) will be my new set

Here is my new set of V3's. Got them off of Mike at GM . 38 inch with Bryzgalov mods , T5500 trapper with V3 graphics and the B6000 blocker ( which I am switching up for a V3 blocker ASAP) . Tried them out last night....strange not having the knee lock in there...but light ...and felt really good with the one solid knee block.

How are their prices? Is it worth the drive out there? I usually go out into the bucks burbs instead of going across the city like that...Every once in a while i head to hockey heaven on 309 but thats a hike too...I mostly deal with Del Val if i am looking local.

i know they are a supplier but they never have anything in stock. Plus they rape you on the price... I think its because i stone the guys in there all the time..i play them all the time....Every once in a they get a cheapie on me but i frustrate them to no end...i do try to size myself there and then look online, the pads they stock are RBK, Brians mostly...I have never seen a Velo set there...If i did i would have bought them long ago...I am pretty sure i will trade up to a Velo 3 next year though...

I just ordered a new set of v2's and a v2 blocker yesterday from Hockey Heaven. Frank is a great guy and really takes care of me on the price. He only had about 2 set of Vaughns, and the rest was mostly ps2's and one75-95 stuff. Their stick and glove selection is pretty good too. He is also fantastic on custom orders. Good luck!

the prices arent bad the service is great, they arent able to beat the prices of an online store like goalie monkey. they also have a website but its pretty out of date, you could call and ask about what your looking for and they would let you know if they have it.

After an eight year hiatus, I'm attempting to make a comeback. Of course, had to replace my old sandbags with new ones.

im guessing those are 7400's? that toe bridge on the left pad in the pic looks offset?

Yep, they're 7400s. I think the leg channels on these are slightly offset, but it fits and works well enough, haha. Getting used to a toe bridge with the extra little thing on the bottom (no idea what those are called) is its own adventure
