Vaughn Velocity V9 Intermediate Goalie Glove

Brand new for 2020, Vaughn Custom Sports is proud to unleash their newest version of their Velocity Line, the Vaughn Velocity V9 Intermediate Goalie Glove.

The V9 glove is a continuation of the VE8 Pro glove and follows the feel of its predecessors. The V9 glove is cleverly disguised with a similar graphic to that of its V9 XP Pro counterpart. The graphic sits a top of a 2-piece cuff design which also differs from the V9 XP glove. Now, there are harder edges and lines instead of the smooth lines they were known to use.

First, the glove has a true 2-piece cuff and thumb mold, contoured to the shape of the hand to maximize surface area. Inside of the cuff and thumb is Vaughn’s carbon material which extends through to the palm further protecting the goalies hand. Extra finger reinforcements add to the rigidity towards the finger side which fights against potential finger curl. The V9 Pro features High Density foams to help protect the hand from pucks.

The inside of the glove features a full grip interior to give the goalie more grip while still offering the traditional Vaughn feel. Along the internals of the glove there are raised finger rails to allow for extra grip and strategic straps designed to further keep the hand in place. These straps are located across the back of the finger digits and across the back of the hand. Finally, a large dual wrist strap is attached to give the glove a completely custom and secure fit.

The glove now features an extra wide four piece backhand protector which is designed to give the glove maximum amounts of flex when being closed, but also protect the in any RVH setting or when covering the puck.

With much popularity on the VE8, you will see the same hybrid-esque Double T that carried over to the V9. This Double T files into a Single T where it connects to the perimeter. This design helps create visibility into the pocket, matched with a soft style catch without the extra bulk of 2 spines hindering closure.

Compared to the Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro glove, the V9 Pro Carbon glove will feature higher quality materials and a North American build.

If you are an intermediate-level Velocity enthusiast that wants a North American inspired build design, but met with a completely distinct feel and break angle, look no further than the Vaughn Velocity V9 Intermediate Goalie Glove.
