Vaughn SLR4 Junior Goalie Blocker – Special Edition
Vaughn has completely redesigned the SLR4 Blocker for 2024. Starting with the blocker board, the SLR4 has a thicker high density foam board than in years past. This will provide more rebound pop off the face of the blocker. The hand position has also been altered for 2024. The SLR4 palm will sit higher on the blocker adding more coverage area. We also found that by changing the palm position, the SLR4 feels more balanced than the previous SLR blockers. The side wall of the SLR4 has been redesigned to increase area coverage. Also, the side wall has been stiffened considerably compared to the SLR3 blocker.
Vaughn will keep the binding less surface on the SLR4 junior blocker. The blocker is structured to take away the shooting angle and provide optimum rebound control. A 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. The Vaughn SLR4 blocker also has a wide wrist opening to enhance puck control when stick handling. The VX Suede palm which is also great for stick control and stick handling,
Also of note, Vaughn has dropped the Ventus name off the SLR4 line. This series will now be referred to SLR4 not Ventus SLR4.
