1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My old one I had to break in and it took forever, but this one already feels pretty good. Definitely needs some play time to get better but it's actually useable as is, surprisingly. Thought I was gonna have to put a softball in it and wrap it closed with bungee cords for a few days lol

My old one for comparison... Got it when I was 14 and it was falling apart. Way more broken in though haha

 

It opens and closes pretty nicely already, just need to wear it for awhile so it forms to my hand

Yeah she was pissed I wasn't letting her draw on it

 

Are getting all new gear? Warrior makes some good stuff.

 

I wish, my other pads are 5ish years old so not too bad. My old glove was 20+ years old haha.

If I had several grand to blow without guilt then I would but for weekly beer league it's not worth going all out

 

I agree, I need to get a new helmet and shoulder pads. I figure it will set me back a few hundred. Fortunately most of my gear is only a few years old and hasn't gotten much use up here.

 

Looks like it will roll on a 20mph turn in that pic.

suspect wires hangin! Good thing you guys don’t have trees there.

 

yeah this glove was the cheapest good quality one I could find ($260)... Without looking at street hockey stuff lol. Best ones were in the $400-600 range. Need to get my blocker re-gloved too at some point

 

I feel like every shot you block with street hockey gear your going to be wishing you spent the extra cash.

 

anyone that buys street hockey gear for ice hockey is asking for a lifelong injury lol

 

Wait what

 

@Yota X

We got some of the tallest trees around, though Santa Cruz are big AF

 

Those require oil/conditioning?

 

Not required but they are made with leather so that would definitely help preserve them, they get soaked during games with sweat and water from the ice so the material can break down quickly if not cared for and dried out

 

Yeah I definitely would to keep them lasting for a long time.

Or however long you can play hockey for

 

Wait.... Are we supposed to condition welding gloves????

 

Lol not that I know of, but I bet we can find some literature that says so.

The worst part is when you feed the last part of your filler rod so you angle up your TIG torch and bam, pinky and/or ring fingers on your glove harden up damn near instantly.

 

It puts the lotion on its gloves or else it gets the burn again

 

@Abeyancer

There is no greater reward in a Zelda game than either an extra heart container, or new weapons -



Got a heart container

Ignore the poverty shield
