All new for 2009, the Velocity 7700 limited edition blocker features a new no binding board with small radius corners to increase the usable blocking surface. Our unique face forward design tilts the top of the board away from the hand at the wrist area, which gives the glove a better blocking angle to the puck. Beveled board edged on all sides reduces weight and improves balance by moving the center of balance to the center of the hand. Bottom board taper improves the glove positioning while down on the ice in a paddle down move. Large side shield with HD foam and plastic reinforcement provides added protection, and adds blocking surface. New palm with curved fingers provides improved grip for added stick control. Vented side gusset allows for cooler play, and quick drying plus added comfort. New two-piece articulating finger protectors with side shields increase protection, and provides added finger mobility.
