Hey Rob or anyone, can you please tell me what the differences of the Pro, R8 and Summit catchers are, and what mods you can put on it, and as far as customization....cuz i either want to get one of the two....and i don't have anywhere around here that i can go to to try either of them one on,

thanks,
Ethan

Just get the Summit, no mods other than blue felt if you play in a AA league or higher. It's hands down the better glove, if not the best glove you can purchase on the market today.

They also have them listed wrong. They are XIs not XHALES.

Does anyone have pics of Tim Thomas from last years Bruins camp when he wore the yellow/black TPS R8's?

Thanks,

Jay

A quick question. I need a new trapper and I really like the R8 series, however, I am a little short on the green stuff so I am also looking at the R6 series.

Are there any major differences such as
-quality
-durability
-weight
-balance
etc.

Just so you guys know, I'm coming from a Reebok sr. catch that is very uncomfortable and it's wearing down fast.

I apologize if this has been discussed but my search didn't come up with anything.

Thanks in advance

Possibly. My Pads were set for completion this week but have been put back till August 10th due to "staff shortages"

hockeyfanatic · #**165** (**permalink**) 07-17-2007, 06:14 AM

is this true? damn if so. I ordered my pads back in may and were told 8 weeks, and arrival in July. Does that mean I won't get em' til august?

shiiiit , i thought i was early in ordering but then this bitch-slap comes to my crying eyes!

In the future I wont give a reds ass what lundy wears or that I like Tps gear, doesn't seem to have to good service. My "custom" gloves were nothing but stock and now this, I have roots in Finland so I will move on to Vaughn Velocity to be my next set.

And maybe save some more pucks?
