Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Iceberg Graphic Goalie Combo

Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Goalie Leg Pads – Iceberg Graphic

The new Vaughn Velocity V9 goalie leg pads are not your parents Velocity leg pads, they are a highly technical goal pad with the newest technology on the market today.  Some may look at the series number V9, meaning this is the ninth installment of the Velocity series and think this is just the same old pad with a new graphic.  In some years that may have had some validity but not the Velocity V9, this pad is pushing the envelope of technology.  Starting with a whole new Carbon Core, the Velocity V9 now has a carbon infused foam that is unique to Vaughn Custom Sports.  This Carbon Core makes the pad extremely light and provides a very active rebound response, much more active then previous generation Velocity pads.  The Carbon Core creates a rebound almost identical to the very stiff “butterfly” style pads. One of the great things that Vaughn was able to do with the V9 was maintain the hybrid feel that a Velocity has become known for.  The way they were able to balance the hybrid feel with the active rebounding properties was through the thickness (or profile) of the core.  This created a thinner profile pad which again eliminates weight and also takes away the bulkiness of the pad.  The vertical roll on the V9 has also been thinned out for 2020.

Some other new features on the Velocity V9 leg pads are the addition of Quick Slide material on all stock models.  The Quick Slide material was a huge success on the Vaughn Ventus SLR2 goalie leg pads and is now a stock option on the Velocity V9.  The Quick Slide material greatly increases side to side movement and makes bad third period ice feel like a fresh clean sheet of ice.  Vaughn has also widened the leg channel of the Velocity V9 and extended the wrap around protection on the back of the legs.  The knee landing area on the Velocity V9 has been lengthened. This helps provide a second level of coverage in the butterfly position and is especially helpful for shots that squeeze through the thigh rise while making a save using the butterfly technique.  The lengthened blocks seal nicely behind the thigh rise and seal up these types of situations.

There may be a little confusion between the Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Leg Pads and the Velocity V9 Pro Leg Pads (the word carbon is not present in the second version). The V9 Pro Carbon Pad is the domestic pro version with the new Carbon Core and an added layer of carbon fiber in the face of the pad. The Velocity V9 Pro is built off-shore and uses a traditional Pro HD foam and does not have the extra layer of carbon fiber in the face of the pad.

The Velocity has been the number one pad choice for the hybrid or athletic style goalie for twenty years.  The new V9 keeps with that tradition while adding new technology to keep pace with the younger generation of goalies looking for new technology.

The Vaughn V9 Pro Carbon Goalie Leg pads are pro level pads, made for 5 to 7 uses per week.

Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Senior Goalie Catch Glove

New for 2020 is the Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Catch Glove. The design of the Velocity V9 Pro Carbon glove keeps the traditional 60 degree. This glove has a two piece cuff design that allows the goalie maximum wrist flexibility which is a popular feature among goalies who stick handle with the pocket of the glove in a downward position. In this downward position the goalie needs a good bit of wrist movement to be able to properly play the puck. The Velocity V9 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 V9 Pro Carbon glove will show some new innovations for 2020.  Starting with the thumb angle, Vaughn has changed 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).  This angle has a more natural feel when closing the glove and seems to give better closure by changing the angle.  Another new feature for 2020 is the addition of the Pure Composite foams.  This carbon infused foam is lighter and holds is shape for a longer period of time compared to traditional high density pro HD foams.  Along with the Pure Composite foam, Vaughn has added an extra layer of protection in the palm area for added protection.  Vaughn also uses a carbon molded palm and thumb insert versus a pressed plastic palm and thumb insert.  The reason this is important is because the molded design along with being carbon fiber 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.  With the molded carbon fiber, the glove holds its shape and this does not happen.

Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Senior Goalie Blocker

New for 2020 is the Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Senior Blocker.  The one huge change for the Velocity V9 Pro Carbon blocker will be the use of the Pure Composite material.  The Pure Composite material is a carbon infused foam that will give the V9 blocker a much more active rebound compared to past models.  The Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Blocker can be used by both Hybrid and Butterfly style goalies because of the Pure Carbon material. With a large bindingless surface, the Velocity V9 Pro Carbon 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 Carbon blocker with a floating cuff to enhance wrist flexibility for puck control when stick handling. The thumb of the Velocity V9 is a molded carbon 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.
