| I'm looking for some feedback. I just purchased a pair of the reebok X-pulse pro pads these are not the offshore ones they are made in canada. The guy a peranis told me they were very good pads my daughter is a butterfly style goalie. Please let me know what you think of these good or bad. |

Since they're the pro pads and made in Canada, I'd be likely to think they're really good quality. How old is your daughter though? I'm not sure of the pricing on the pros, but if it follows anything similar to the RBK 5K (horrible) to P3s (best), I can imagine they'd be pretty expensive... and especially if she's going to grow, you probably could've found a more cost-efficient option.
Unless of course, money isn't an issue. Then you can adopt me and buy me new pads    |

| She is almost 15 yrs old and according to the doctor she has about 1 or 2 more inches to go. these pads have an adjustable knee cradle and should give the room she needs. the original price an these pads was 1400.00 since they were last years model (doesnt look like much changed) I got them for 600.00. I wanted her to have a decent quality pad since shes playing highschool hockey with the boys. She's also playing summer and pre / post. The pads are 33+1. |

| Xpulse=Hybrid, Premier Series=Butterfly. Don't listen to the guys at Perani's. Even their "goalie pro" didn't know what the hell I was talking about when I asked him if they had a Brian's Zero G in White/White/Black...which is about the most common question I could possibly think of. |

Good grab in that case. I'm not sure what the highschool hockey is like where you're living, but up here it's nothing too fancy Heck, I could handle it in my 7Ks.
Just curious, what's her ATK? |

| Not sure of the ATK they measured her there. SHe's 5' 10". Its kinda good then that the pads are hybrid because her goalie coach is trying to lean her more that way. |
