"Official" Vaughn thread.

Okay, I need some help trying to find out what size vaughn pad i should wear. I have a 19.5 ATK. Would I be better suited for a 36 or a 37?

Pad Size - ATK Database Project

It depends on where you want your knee to hit in the cradle. 36 will be a bit lower than 37.

i know, but i have no way of trying these pads on so i want to make sure that they fit me. In that database somebody has the same atk that wears a 35 than someone else that wears a 37.

What mods do YOU need? What mods will help YOU? What is wrong with the stock V3 that you think you need to improve to make the pads perfect for you?

Those are the real questions.

Why do you want fully squared as a mod? Have you tried the V3s on and felt they were too tapered for you? The reason I ask is because this is a mod that people get on V2s (which are tapered), not V3s. V3s are already fully squared. Make sure you get mods based on what you feel needs to be changed about the pad to make it work for you. Not just some cool sounding terms someone else got on their pads.

What do you have on your pads right now? +1 or 2?

If you have +1, and your skating isn't that great, keep the +1.
If you have +1, and you can move around well, I'd try +2.

BUT I don't know too much about pad mods, I personally think a lot of mods are useless and people here spend WAY too much time thinking up mods that they think will make them play better, but that's just me . Before today, I didn't even know my pads were 35+2. (I had 34+1 before and felt no difference)

[Goalerguy]

if you cant decide between +1 and +2 you could always get +1.5

I wonder if you're allowed to design a graphic of pucks all over the leg pads, blocker, and glove. that would totally confuse the shooter and it would look hella sickkkk.

The only thing the shooter would be confused about is why the goalie ordered such ugly pads.

[aeborunda38]

That would be cool. You could probably go as far as getting the graphic on the stick as well

Can anyone answer my question about the break on the ******* UL2, and Vaughn 7500?

[foubie30]

i recently played someone with a bunch of four leaf clovers all over his pads. from the other end i thought they were pucks but it was really cool

In a Vaughn, you want a 37. I'm 18.5 and I have a 36+2 V2's. Knee cradle's perfect.

Alright, cool. Thanks for the help.
