Vaughn Velocity Iceberg Pro Senior Goalie Catch Glove – Special Edition

Vaughn Velocity Iceberg Pro Senior Goalie Catch Glove – Special Edition

New for 2023 is the Vaughn Velocity Iceberg Pro Catch Glove. The design of the Velocity Iceberg Pro glove keeps the traditional 60 degree. The Iceberg glove has the split T with a U shaped pocket.  At the base of the pocket there is a single t that splits into a double T the higher it goes in the pocket. The U shaped design with the single T at the base allows the glove much more flexibility then a traditional glove with a double T going the entire way to the base of the pocket. As the pocket transitions from the single T at the base to the double T in the pocket, the glove becomes very soft and deep in the main catching area of the glove.  The Velocity V9 Pro Carbon glove can be heat molded for a customized fit.

A deeper look into the Vaughn Velocity Iceberg Pro glove will show a continuation of the very popular V9 specs.  For the thumb angle, Vaughn makes the thumb angle a bit to feel like their more traditional gloves – particularly the 5500 and the first generation V1 glove (commonly referred to as the Kipper Spec).  The angle has a more natural feel when closing the glove and seems to give better closure then previous generations.  Vaughn will continue to use the added layer of protection in the palm area which gives this glove the same protection as higher priced full custom catch gloves.  The thumb mold has been shortened by one inch which allows the Velocity Iceberg glove to open up wider and take up more surface area.  Vaughn also used a molded palm and thumb insert versus a pressed plastic palm and thumb insert.  The reason this is important is because the molded design will keep its shape for a much, much longer period of time compared to a pressed plastic.  When shots constantly hit a catch glove, the pressed plastic glove loses its shape (particularly in the thumb area) and will become flat over time.  This causes shots to bounce out of the glove instead of deflecting into the pocket.

Goalies Plus has added a skate lace pocket to the Special Edition colors.  This gives the pocket a softer feel and overall easier to catch the puck.
