The CCM Axis F9 Goalie Catcher has been redesigned to give goalies the best out-of-the-box closure from CCM to date. They dialed in their 591 break angle by updating the T design, palm, and backhand to give the F9 a truly broken-in fit for easy opening and closing. Paired with the one-piece LiteCore cuff and thumb, goalies will experience a lightweight and balanced feel for quick glove saves.
Cross Form Straps with FormFit Fingers deliver incredible responsiveness while allowing for greater wrist mobility. Heat-activated foam in the pinky and index finger provides a customized feel and fit while the SureGrip palm is extremely comfortable and adds control when snagging pucks trying to make their way to the back of the net.
