Intro & New Features

The Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon SR Goalie Blocker is designed for the elite goaltender who wants a lightweight balanced blocker. The V9 Pro Carbon features a bindingless board design offering maximum coverage along with Pure Carbon inserts on the face of the board, sidewall, thumb and composite finger protector offering superior protection, stiffness and reinforcement. A redesigned soft, comfortable nash and suregrip palm features a seamless index and small finger offering a more comfortable and durable feel while a thumb pillow and a soft padded cuff offers increased protection. Finally, as with all pro level Vaughn gear, custom colours, graphics and other options are all available.

External Material

The V9 Pro Carbon blocker features a bindingless, durable leather face with QuickSlide accents in the high wear areas such as the nose and finger areas. The back hand uses a combination of nylon and mesh keeping it lightweight and durable.

Internal Construction

The internal board of the blocker uses thick Super HD foam for good protection. A Pure Carbon insert has been placed on top of the foam for better pop on the rebounds and for additional coverage. The Pro Carbon insert is also in the leg pads of the SLR3 Pro Carbon set, which complements the blocker and its emphasis on rebound control.

Internals

A Pure Carbon reinforced, thicker foam board adds stiffness and rigidity to the blocker while giving more active rebounds. The V9 Pro Carbon blocker keeps the traditional Velocity shape with a deep board top bend allowing for better puck deflection.

Palm Material

The palm is made of a soft nash material with a large suregrip overlay that runs the entire lengths of the palm and thumb. The index and small finger uses a seamless wrap around design to increase the durability of the palm and give a more comfortable feel when holding the stick.

Side Hand Protection

The side hand of the V9 Pro Carbon blocker is laced into the face and uses a Pure Carbon insert to increase the sidewalls rigidity and help stiffen it and give better side hand protection.

Cuff

The V9 blocker uses a short, floating cuff to offer increased wrist mobility. It’s velcro adjustable in order to give goalies the option to wear the cuff as tight or loose as they want while offering good protection.

Hand Protection

The thumb of the V9 Pro Carbon uses a moulded Pure Carbon insert in order to offer superior protection while the finger guards use a composite core and HD foams. The back of the fingers use HD foam padding to catch anything that passes by the large finger protectors. Finally, a large sewn in floating index finger protector sits flush with the stick to catch pucks riding up the paddle.
