The Vaughn Velocity V9 XP Pro Carbon Senior Goalie Catcher is aimed at the elite level goalie who wants a comfortable yet protective glove that’s easy to close right off the shelf. It uses a break angle that gives it a similar feel to a CCM 590 closure. Vaughn uses carbon layering in the palm, thumb, backhand and cuff to provide superior protection and durability while keeping the glove light. A VAS Shock Shield palm and thumb base further increases protection and longevity of the catcher without sacrificing the quick snapping closure. The carbon reinforced split “T” design takes the deep wide appearance of a double “T” pocket and combines it with the quick, snappy feel that a single “T” offers. A lightweight mesh fingerstall construction allows for superior breathability and comfort while a built in internal grip rail on the inside of the palm allows for better grip and closure. The V9 Pro Carbon XP uses neoprene lined internals in order to offer the best in breathable comfort along with the fully adjustable back hand strapping system that provides goalies with a truly customizable fit. A carbon reinforced segmented HD foam back hand and finger tip protector rail provides good protection from all angles of the glove without losing flexibility. Compared to the regular V9 Pro Carbon, the XP features a true one-piece cuff construction along with an extended finger tip section. Finally, as with all pro level Vaughn gear, custom colours, sizing, graphics and other options are all available.
External Material
The V9 Pro Carbon XP catcher is made out of a durable leather featuring a sharp new graphic. It features QuickSlide accents in high wear areas along with a nylon binding and backhand. Vaughn uses a Hex Mesh inner lining and finger stalls for better breathability, comfort and quick drying. The interior of the finger stalls contain an internal grip rail helping goalies get a better grip on the glove allowing them to snap it shut quicker and with ease. The V9 Pro Carbon XP catcher features an HD foam pad over the back of the fingers as well as a raised HD foam finger tip deflecting rail. A stronger Pure Carbon moulded palm and front thumb insert combined with the VAS Shock Shield palm and thumb pase provide superior protection and durability while a reinforced perimeter edge works to extend the lifespan on the V9 Pro Carbon XP catcher. Compared to the regular V9 Pro Carbon, the XP has a wider perimeter at the finger area of the glove.
Break Angle
The break angle of the V9 Pro Carbon catcher is designed to feel similar to that of a CCM 590 break. It uses a new more defined break point allowing for easier closure compared to the previous VE8 XP.
Pocket Design
The V9 Pro Carbon XP uses the same split “T” design first seen on the VE8 XP giving the wide, deep appearance of a double “T” combined with the quick snapping closure of a single “T”. A carbon reinforced T-top gives the V9 Pro Carbon XP glove superior durability while still allowing it to snap closed easily right out of the box.
Strapping
The quick adjust webbing wrist strap of the V9 Pro Carbon XP features added padding for better comfort while a neoprene material is used on the inner back hand allowing for good grip and breathability. The internals of the V9 Pro Carbon XP catcher feature a velcro adjustable elastic strap that sits over the back of the fingers while another velcro adjustable strap controls the tightness of the neoprene back hand piece.
Cuff Design
The V9 Pro Carbon XP catcher utilizes a true one-piece cuff reinforced with carbon for increased protection. A bindingless construction is used in order to maximize the blocking surface. A wide, open cuff design allows the V9 XP catcher to sit comfortably in any goalies stance no matter their glove position.
