Designed for elite-level play, the new TPS Xceed leg pads feature Rotational Relief System (R.R.S.) Calf, a strapping configuration that allows natural leg rotation during butterfly movements. TPS has also included several new patent-pending features, including innovative die-cast zinc buckle locations that facilitates the R.R.S. system, a unique sliding toe bridge that allows the toe of the skate to drop to the ice to relieve pressure on ankles and lower back, thereby enabling a wider butterfly. And it doesn't end there...the outside toe has been extended to increase coverage of the net in a butterfly position, and an enhanced anatomically correct knee break includes outer roll and medial roll for greater flexbility. The knee and shin cradle incorporate Anatomical Relief (A.R.) to increase comfort and protection, a thigh board is integrated with inside knee protection, and an extra thick knee riser stabilizes the pad and enables pad to sit flat and close five-hole in the butterfly.
