Offering that pro level construction the retail level the new HZRDUS 9X pad features a thinner thigh rise compared to the L20.2 and an improved core to give a stiffer feel for even better rebounds. We still have the popular FRS adjustable calf straps and Hybrid Pro lace system.
CONSTRUCTION
The pad features a full flat face pad with a 30% stiffer core from the addition of composite reinforced thighrise to give you an even better seal the the ice in the butterfly. We also see no external break on the pad to give an overall cleaner look but internally it features a single break at the core to add some flexibility to the pad.
STRAPPING
Much like previous models we see the use of the Fast Rotation System ( FRS ) on these pads, this helps the pad stay connected to your leg while also rotating seamlessly around the leg when dropping to the ice. The straps are easy to adjust to match your preferred comfort and fit to the leg. Connecting to the skate is a hybrid pro lace bungee system that is designed to not be over stretchy when coming out of your RVH position, helping keep the pad staying square to the shooter and bringing you the confidence that the pad is positioned just the way it should be each time.
