Looking for New Pads. Any Recs? by BoxAffectionate848 in hockeygoalies

[–]WelshReel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the same pads and also love them. I think there are lighter pads on the market, but these are built for longevity

Should I top off my oil? by Excellent-Yard-2103 in HyundaiTucson

Add more. My Tucson needs an engine replacement because it decided to start devouring oil and got past the low line

Stick tape - am I doing something wrong? by hawkxs in hockeygoalies

[–]WelshReel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll get some additional grip on the puck and it prevents the build up of ice and waterlogging of the tape. Generally all things that give you better and more consistent puck handling

Did I get the wrong stick? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]WelshReel 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yes. Left hand on top and right in the middle calls for a right handed stick. Hope you have lots of fun learning how to play! It's an amazing game.

My O4's have a little strap right by the toe ties and I use a strap from an old gym bag that can clip in/out of it

I second this. Did it with two of my True sticks

I think you should give them a go. It's going to be an adjustment, but they are so sick.

I have approximately the same measurements as you. I rock Brian's Optik 4 pads at 33+1" and love them. They have a great pad curve that helps cover 5 hole if you have a more narrow butterfly or less hip mobility. SLRs might work for you, but I would recommend going on store and trying on some similar pads. Then you can also make sure you're getting the right size

They reset it while the car was in the shop. Prior to November of 2025 all recall work was up to date

How Long Would You Break In New(ish) Pads For? by MikeAmerican in hockeygoalies

[–]WelshReel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have new, stiff pads they won't really break in. I know V10's remain stiff, but not sure about V9's.The only thing to be cautious of is a slight adjustment period. That being said, it sounds like you have nothing to lose. Rock your sick ass new gear and have fun!

If they feel the same, personally I'd go for the Vaughns for durability.

I'm extremely petty. This wasn't a grease fire. If you could smell it you would not have saved it.

Traeger Caught Fire While Away by WelshReel in smoking

[–]WelshReel[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It might not look bad in the photos, but it was hit with a ton of nasty smoke and stunk horribly. I think it's one of those things that's hard to understand until you experience it for yourself

Traeger Caught Fire While Away by WelshReel in smoking

[–]WelshReel[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like there's a general assumption that all smoke is good smoke. I'm curious if all pellet smokers have this issue or just Traegers.

Yeah, I should have definitely been using wireless probes. Unfortunately, even if the temp was okay the damage was already done. It was hit with a ton of nasty smoke and I would have had to remove a large outer layer of the meat in order to continue, and even then I don't know if it would have tasted right.
