Previous Feedback
Comments: This is a very lightweight blocker! That was something I was definitely looking for so this works nicely. It's very comfortable and breathes pretty well. All in all a very good blocker. Some minor caveats though: I am curious to see how durable it will be. I've only used it a few times now so I'm not sure. It scuffs fairly easily if that's a concern to you. The finger guards attach to the fingers with short straps on the index and pinkie. Depending on how you hold your stick, this may be annoying. I tend to extend my index finger flat against the top of the paddle so it is not an issue for me. But if you wrap your finger all the way around the shaft, the strap makes it difficult to do that. Finally, the space between the thumb guard and the blocker board is a narrow opening that the paddle of the stick fits into when holding the stick normally. The opening is narrow enough, though, that it causes some slight difficulty when I try to slide my hand up the shaft to play the puck (and even moreso when I try to return my hand to normal position). Just something that I need to get used to.

Comments: Great Blocker, extremely lightweight which is exactly what I was looking for. Index finger guard kinda gets in the way of the stick but i just cut the guard off and it works great now with the stick. Awesome lightweight product for a great price, cant beat that.
