TRUE 20.2 Unboxing and Review

[@trav4oilers]

My custom TRUE 20.2 pads, glove and blocker. 20.2 is supposed to be almost identical to 20.1 with a few changes. It's now my biggest nightmare. $5000 and TRUE ruined my new set Video Sponsored by Ridge Wallet: Use Code “TRAVSUCKS” for 10% off your order www.ridge.com/TRAVSUCKS

[@hockeyfan9498]

If you don’t like the 20.2 blocker are you going to go with the hyperlite blocker?

[@aept208]

Great set brother but I'm more interested in knowing what pants are you using right now?

[@keithswenor3230]

They ruined them by putting grip on your blocker and the glove feels different?

[@Sevastian_Donahue]

got a message from you saying i am a winner of somethin i dont think its real but just wanted to check is it legit?

[@Sevastian_Donahue]

@Gan unfanboy ah ok thanks

[@nemtall]

The old pads are worn in and the thigh rise is rounded in more probably from you leaning on them with your arms to get rest between shots . So not fair to say they're not that close .No two gloves will ever be the same anyway . The set looks sick on you just enjoy .

[@trav4oilers]

That’s the point of a review. It’s designed to pick apart positive and negative

[@DRoy-70]

At this point it’s just for attention. The size of a 2 year old pad will always be smaller than a brand new one. You see the top curled up from the weight you’ve put on it for the past 2 seasons. The blocker/glove look the same…again; a 2 year old glove will undoubtedly have a different feel.

[@trav4oilers]

I think if you paid the 5k you’d see things a little different. All will be addressed again in the 3 month revie

[@rubberducky2110]

Thought you would go for warrior, but I'm guessing you didn't because of how they cancelled taking custom orders. Nice set tho.

[@irvingfive7955]

Congratulations on the new gear! Although I am not a fan of all white pads, your new set looks good. As well, a little Loctite Blue, on the toe tie bridge bolts will ensure that they don't loosen prematurely.

[@arthurfriederich3825]

The pads are bent more and have some kind of torsion, it's visible even on the camera. Plus maybe they did shrink a bit, as the older vaughn pads did. I wouldn't be angry about it, as you will get used to it really easily and there isn't much difference. The blocker and glove part is a bit sad tho 🥲

@@trav4oilers already seen it👌

[@srStinnky]

nice looking set. click bait as usual. I still believe you could have a wider bf flair and you could close the five hole a lot better even tho you use a short thigh raise. You do exactly what I do, don't drive the knees together and when we go to the BF we bring the feet together instead of spreading them is a learned movement and I also have a narrow flair but for have a two pandemic years of bad sitting position.

[@trav4oilers]

Check out Jamie Phillips on IG. He talks about how some guys literally cannot add flare

[@srStinnky]

@@trav4oilers I know it's related on how our hips are constructed and how everyone's hip is unique. I know I can have a wider flair because I had it, during the pandemic I wasn't as lucky as you were and did not see any Ice and not following my own advice I sat in a bad posture for too long during the days maybe you can't make a wider flair but you can close that five hole and for how you move I asume you can ad about 1 or 1.5 inches to your flair...not to much but it can be the diference between a goal and a save.

[@daledemanchuk7920]

sorry to hear guy but as we are finding out more and more every day 'new' does not always equate to BETTER....sad but true....hopefully you will find them more to your liking once they are 'broken in' more....take care man.

[@trav4oilers]

You’re the man dale

[@Y2J3469]

So, you just said a few months ago, on record, that the greatest piece of goalie equipment that you have ever owned was your Bauer custom skates. Now, you state, in this video, that your Lefevre catcher is the best piece of gear that you have ever owned! So, which one is it?

[@trav4oilers]

Now that I think about it that’s tough but I’d say it’s a tie

[@Loquacious_Fox]

Looks amazing, but personally I would just be happy with a decent set, been getting into the game late and stuff is expensive. Cheers thought very comprehensive review. Hoping I'll be ae to actually get some skates and be using your advice for the first time thus winter.

[@trav4oilers]

Yes but I’m looking for every performance perk to get the most out of my game. Expensive = high expectations

[@OneFoxTwoFox]

So weird. After watching the first time with the gear, the one thing I noted was pucks weren't popping out of your glove. So in that aspect, again only from the video, it looks like either you made improvements in containing through technique or something with the glove is working to control those catches. The blocker was popping to the corner. I think the best thing to note is how often you got the stick to the puck and deflected it to the corner. Cool gear, love that they still have the best mobility in a blocker and hopefully the other two you will eventually fall in love with. Good luck.

[@trav4oilers]

Cause the old glove was broken, and I’ve changed my Glove positoning a bit
