Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Senior Goalie Blocker – Special Edition
New for 2020 is the Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Senior Blocker. The main item of concern for Vaughn when designing the V9 Pro blocker was getting a more active rebound off the blocker face and the V9 blocker does have a more active rebound compared to past Velocity blockers. With a large bindingless surface, the Velocity V9 Pro blocker takes up the maximum (8in. X 15in.) surface area under NHL, NCAA, USA Hockey, Hockey Canada and IIHF rules. The new finger area provides an index finger trigger design which helps the goalie control the paddle of the goalie stick more effectively when they are in their ready position. Vaughn also designed the Velocity V9 Pro Blocker with a floating cuff to enhance wrist flexibility for puck control when stick handling. The thumb of the Velocity V9 is a molded design which ensures the thumb protection does not lose it shape over time. The palm of the Velocity V9 Blocker has also been redesigned for 2020. The new palm is angled specifically for the needs of a goalie versus taking a player glove palm and throwing on a goalie blocker. This will improve comfort and overall performance.
Goalies Plus will be offering Special Edition colors in the Velocity V9 series. The V9 Special Edition blocker does not have any additional spec changes (which the pads and catch gloves do have spec changes).
