When purchasing a new goalie blocker, there are many factors to consider to ensure that you get the best model for your level and style of play. If youre unsure which blocker suits you best, or need help sizing, visit your local Pure Hockey.
The ION Pro Select blocker features a large HD blocking board reinforced with carbon-fiber composite to provide significant rigidity throughout. Carried over from the SLR4, the ION blocker features an all-new flared upper board, this design helps easily direct and control rebounds.
This blocker has a redesigned ultra ridged internally laced HD sidewall, along with a new thumb opening for reduced stick resistance. The thumb has a unique reinforced and shortened shape for improved control with the paddle along the ice. The palm of the blocker is made from VX suede with an antimicrobial grip overlay which helps grip the stick but also keeps your hand from sliding around the palm during play.
The back of the blocker features angled backhand padding to help improve the blocking angle and helps naturally align more squarely to the shooter. In the wrist of the blocker Vaughn has included an open cuff, with an adjustable wrist strap to create a secure custom fit. While the sideboard features a stiffer high-density shield with carbon layering wrapped in HD foam.
If youre a goalie playing 4-5+ times per week and demand the most out of your blocker, or someone looking to experience a true top-of-the-line blocker, the new Vaughn ION Pro Select is a great option.
