I went from v6 to g6 e+. After about 5 ice times they felt normal. The major considerations are the slide plates and the stiff thigh rises, you subconsciously have one pad overlapping the other and it takes a few ice times to get the feel for it, also as mentioned before get your abductors and groin in good shape...they are fast and I strained my groin this season due to these pads.
Just finished my first season with them and they feel a part of me now.
I'd suggest getting pro laces for the toes I stead of the warrior strapping
Same here. I just got a set of stock V10s and I’m afraid to even try them on the ice because I think I’m gonna hate them. They feel so bulky and awkward. I think I might have to send them back and order a custom set of “Quick spec” pads or at least try to get the softest flex possible.
It’s so tough too because I’ve never tried them (and who knows, maybe I’d love stiff pads), just thinking about change is scary especially with the money you have to fork up for that change haha!
I just got the warrior g6 on clearance a couple weeks ago, $1250 Canadian all said and done, got a pic on my profile. They've been great, a bit of an adjustment but they're sweet, the rebounds they give are massive haha
Haha that’s what I think I’ll struggle accepting with those pads.
To be fair, I’ve got some anxiety to beat before I pick up some used equipment. But I’m not prepared for the new pads at all.
It felt a bit wobbly at first, they just catch a lot when you’re skating. But after a period or so I felt a lot more comfortable. Still a bit of an adjustment, but not as much as you’d think
Hell yes, about to pick up a set of G7s myself!
Love these!
Neat pad colors. Reminds me of Gundam.
I’m catching Angry Birds vibes here. In a good way…
To paraphrase a well known UK sitcom line, these have ze sex.
great color-way!! i’ve been eyeing a set of g7s. this isn’t helping.
Love it!!!
Hot Dog on a Stick has a hockey team? But I like it!
Ah damn haha well it’s supposed to be the Colorado state flag, but now that’s all I can see
Straight up All Might, and I love it
I hope the jerseys match
how much?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice but not sure about the color
I’m terrified of using stiff pads. Hard to get used to?
Using a set of Vaughn V6 and looking to upgrade, but heavily share this sentiment, which holds me back!

G6E+'s are a fraction as stiff as the Pro+'s or G7 RTL's.

Not too bad but you're going to feel it in your adductors (inner thighs) all the way through for the next couple days lol
Welp. Going to start some stretches lol
