Hey, I'm a 5'8 goalie and was wondering what type/brand of pads you think are best for a smaller goalie. I am an unorthodox/hybrid style of goalie which I can compare most closely to Marty Brodeur. I know that there is no "best" pad or brand and that a lot of it is preference, I'm just looking for what other people think. I currently have two pairs of pads (1 pair I got two small and am currently selling), TPS R10 and Vaughn V4's (the small ones). The R 10's are 34 +1 and the Vaughns are 33. The TPS feel like they are more suited for strictly tall, butterfly goalies. The problem I have with both pairs is 1) The TPS are too stiff and as I said suit a taller goalie, and 2) the Vaughns feel a litle small barely covering my knees and I find it nearly impossible to cover my five-hole unless I do a narrow butterfly leaving open many more holes for a shooter to pick. I was thinking of looking into sherwood, Bauer, and the new warrior pads. What ideas do you guys have/ any tips as to what size and such I should try would be great.

try looking into bauer pads. like the rx series or the vapor series, with the vapors they have good mobility and have butterfly style features so when you drop to the butterfly you can cover alot of the holes.same with the rx series.but also with the vapor series you get a choice whether you want a stiff pad, a medium stiff bad, or soft pad.with the stiff pad it has no breaks in the outer roll,for medium it has one break below the knee.and with the soft pad it has a break below and above the knee. both series are pretty reasonably priced at goaliemonkey.com
