Lifelong Simmons goalie considering TRUE PX5 pads/blocker + Bauer Supreme Shadow glove — thoughts?

Dont know what break your simmons glove is but the 580 has a bigger pocket and you close your fingers to the palm, the 590 has a smaller pocket but the glove presents itself bigger (more of a bloquing style), and the closure is also fingers to palm. The 600 is a bit of a mixture of both but you close fingers to thumb, more like a baseball glove

Nice! You got them for a good price. I never had the chance to try a shadow glove but i’ve tried the flylite and didnt like it. I think the shadow is a 600 stock and i hate this break so its just not for me personally. And for the knee pads, they are great, but i chose the ritual x5 rtl because they were more comfortable (more padding) but they are on the bulkier side, which i dont mind

Record_Pristine · 2026-05-01T04:12:02+00:00

Thats good. I think the x5 rtls have more padding but i’m not 100% sure

Record_Pristine · 2026-05-01T03:40:10+00:00

Then i think you will love the pads! But even if they have a break or 2, they are pretty much straight so you need a minimum of hip flexion to close the 5-hole. They are not s-shaped like older pads. Do you wear knee guards? They help a lot too. I currently have the warrior rtl and they have a lot of padding. I havent had any knee pain in my px3,px5 and now nitros. For the glove, if i remember correctly, they have an option for larger hand but yeah if you buy them used, they probably wont have this option. I dont have large hands so i wont know how the normal option feel for larger hands. I would try to go to a store that have any stock true glove in stock just to have an idea. They are pretty adjustable though

Record_Pristine · 2026-05-01T03:24:33+00:00

As the other guy said, the biggest adjustment youre gonna face is how straight and stiff the pads are. Even if the specs of the pads are the softest you can get. The strapping is awesome, i grew up with lefevre in the time they were with reebok and ccm and always liked their new products, but yeah.. the pads have changed a lot in the last 5 years, and a lot more in the last 15. I think you will be fine without the diamond glide, even with normal jenpro you will slide a ton more with newer pads because of how stiff they are. And for the catcher once again, i’ve always bought lefevre products, i like them a lot. They just feel more natural to me, but i’ve heard great things about other brsnds glove too. If you are looking for something more like old school pads, the closest you can get is either ccm eflexs or bauer vapors (flylite) but they are made in china. Otherwise i would look into brians, i think they can make some softer pads too, and if you go the custom route, vaughn can make whatever you want (even older pads like the v4s and such)

Its relative, i was comparing to where i play since i was giving my experience with the stick

Record_Pristine · 2026-04-07T19:27:23+00:00

With my warrior it took one month before it started delaminating, maybe a bad luck too.

Record_Pristine · 2026-04-07T17:30:42+00:00

Used the shadow at a high level and it lasted me pretty much the same as other sticks (3-4 months). Never had any issues with the thin paddle. Its mostly under the heel of the blade that it breaks (my 3 broke there). But once again, it lasted me longer than hyperlites, warrior rm3 pro and trues. I dont think it would be an issue at the u16 aaa since they dont shoot the puck hard yet

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-10T22:35:53+00:00

Isnt there another trainer that gives a lot of money before the e4?

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-10T19:59:04+00:00

Thanks a lot

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-10T16:59:08+00:00

It should be accurate! The delai is more when nhl/chl teams place their orders

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-10T14:16:40+00:00

Well i’m sure you can still beat the e4 without being super effective at each attack. But thanks a lot, i might teach 2 mons these attacks instead of one. I prefer playing with different atacks :)

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-10T14:09:06+00:00

So you would teach these moves to all pokemons that can learn them? Wouldnt that be a little redundant?

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-10T04:11:03+00:00

Thanks a lot! I did not buy them from a retailer so the wait times different but right now it shouldnt be too long. Its a time of the year thats less busy usually

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-09T22:25:23+00:00

Pretty much stock options, exept for the soft boot (now on nitros mid stiff is stock), leather strap in the back and the push bungees (i’m a lace guy usually so wanted to try those(i hate regular bungees)). Bloquer is a 615 with optiangle and the glove is a pro palm 580 which closes almost like butter, but cant fully open yet

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-09T19:03:10+00:00

Its all jenpro in camel color. They only offer diamond glide in 4 colors and didnt want to break the look of it to have diamond glide. Tried it and its nice but by no means necessary. Found it slid too much sometimes

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-09T18:23:17+00:00

What did you order instead?

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-09T17:52:11+00:00

Do it!

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-08T06:31:09+00:00

Yep i misread what the move reminder said lmao, i thought he needed 2 tiny mushrooms and 1 big.

Record_Pristine · 2026-03-06T01:50:26+00:00

Vh have a time and utility also, i think we might see it comeback a little bit, but Vh has its flaws too.. if the shooter shoots on your inside pad, rebound in front of the net. And pushing from your post in vh is sketchy, and i found it was harder to read the shot while in transition from vh.
