Thanks Spider! 8)

Here's a few pictures of the palm system in my blockers. I am tweaking the catcher at the moment so pictures of that will come later. The system is VERY secure and the glove will not come out while you are playing. It takes a bit of force to snap those together. Everywhere a snap could potentially come in contact with your hand is padded. There is one spot of lace on the cuff, but it only takes a few seconds to unwind it. I gave it to my mom and without any instructions she could take it out in less then a minute the first time. The hardware is brass with plating just like the buckles that come on straps so it won't rust.

The only thing I found was that in the case that someone hooks their stick in the thumb of the glove, the thumb may pop apart. I really had to pull though. I figure if someone hooks you THAT hard, you would have had a wrist injury in any other blocker. I thought about using a loop through a slick clip but was afraid of the clip breaking too easily. It is always an option to try in the future on my own glove set.

And because I know someone will want a picture of the front of this one... :P

The blocker looks impressive Sara! Did the extra hardware contribute much to the overall weight? How much does it weigh?

Boss, send a picture and I can tell you for sure if I can do it. The only problem I can see is if the finger protection has flaps on the side that stick out instead of inward, but I can probably work my way around that problem. If nothing else I can take the parts off and mod them to make it work.
