Just arrived today...this pair is mine, so hands off, but we've got more coming in tomorrow or monday...
We've taken the Sentry 3, which is a dynamit pad and added a few custom things that we ALWAYS get asked for.
some features include...
+2 sizing(+1 optional)
thinner profile
one solid knee block instead of stacks
flex breaks in the side roll below and above the knee.
smooth calf wing with no graphics or exposed thread
sliding toe bridge
taken out the inside toe/thigh graphics
Eagle has given us estmiate delivery of 3 weeks all year, I would say even if its 4 weeks, you're still 2 weeks faster than anyone and closer to 6 weeks less than most. Custom pads made and shipped in a month, thats not bad.
at first glance, the side roll gives the pad a bit of a Vaughn look, but the pad is still quite a bit different. I'm really impressed with the way these turn out. I just got off the phone with the man in charge at Eagle and so was he. The pads just feel right, I popped them on with a pair of skates and they're sweet. This pad has the best feel personally on an eagle pad since I wore the PMW1 back in around 2003. I think Eagle has finally nailed it down how they envision the pads to be. We've decided to go with soft knee roll look, flat face is available as well, and if you want the stock solid side roll it's no problem. I went with the Sentry/Odyssey U close on the catcher, Fusion (C) and Infinity (V) are also available no problem and our stock will feature both U and C breaks. I went with skate lace in the pocket, something I get in all my gloves. I don't know if it does anything for the glove but make it a bit sexier. No changes were amde to the gloves, they have turned out VERY nice this year as Eagle simply outdoes themselves in this department every year.
These and other custom specs of your own choosing are available and usually with limited or no upcharge barring a major change.
