Seriously....if you have any questions, give Craig a call and he will do his best for you.

i will if i do have any further questions. craig did say that my pads were due today though so im anxiously waiting haha

Word is every manufacturer is experiencing delays right now with the new NHL regulations and stipulations. With the new way the rules are set-up it's causing some confusion and some orders are having to be re-done which is pushing things back.

I just ordered a custom Vaughn V3 7500 C/A and was quoted 12 weeks by Vaughn. So any orders placed now should be expected by around Christmas time

[kevin0807]

dukes just gave me an email saying that my pads should be here sometime this week for sure.

Hey Spud - what about the 7500 C/A did you get custom? Was thinking of getting custom colored one, but there is an upcharge, just not sure how much $$?

[Spud387]

I got a size Large with Medium Arms. I was told the colours you can get are: White/Navy/Orange, White/Black/Gold, All White or All Black. I ordered the White/Black/Gold as that was the colour I wanted anyway.

I decided against any other mods as price was a factor and this should be sufficient for my playing level.

Colours are no extra charge, same as getting different size arms.

That's cool - LG w/MED arms is a very common Mod...
I spoke to Mike Vaughn - he said you could do custom colors on the C/A's like the pros do - but def an upcharge - he didnt say how much tho$$. I guess you'd have to get the VAR to speak to Vaughn and see. Color doesnt matter too much anyway. thanks.

Ahh I was never told about that. I was told they can do the colour options that I listed without an up charge and since I wanted the C/A in the white/black/gold, I gladly accepted rather than pursuing different colours.

Well the arms on the V3 7500 are so long that I am not surprised its a common mod. Hence why I have to do it

Ya, considering my play level, I probably didn't need the V3 7500 but it simply felt best and looks well built so I paid the extra to get it rather than a low end... already spent far too much on gear this year.

I use it - I love it! I play A level beer league...some of those guys can crank a shot! The 7500 rocks! I got that Black/Red special edition one from GM - same exact as stock - just special colors...I like the all Black ones...I had a White / Black / Gold one - but sold it in the Classifieds after I got the new one

When I was trying on my v3 C/A in the store I loved it but my only concern was the arm thength seemed too long and my gloves would interfere with the arm floaters. I took a chance buying it knowing that I could tinker with it on the ice but the first time out it felt great even with the long arms. The arms didnt bother me at all. I find this with a lot of things in hockey that If I have something bothering me off the ice I dont notice it on the ice. I'm lovin my v3 plus my team colours are white/orange/blue so the c/a matches perfect (not that it matters). Anyway enjoy your c/a spud.

thx.. I still have 11 weeks till I can enjoy it tho hehe.

I was debating just getting a large, but after getting measured at the store, my arms are just big enough for size medium arms and are WAY to short for size large arms so I had to custom order it. The size MED body was definitely to small as it felt like a bib.
