Vaughn VX1 Pro Intermediate Goalie Catch Glove – Special Edition
The entirely new design for the Vaughn VX1 has many changes from the Velocity Catch Gloves of the past. The name Velocity has been changed to VX1 (roman numerals for Velocity 11) but moving forward the name Velocity will not be used. This is because Vaughn wants a new era to start with this series. This catch glove has been overhauled compared to past Velocity generations. We will give an overview of all of the major changes the customer will see in 2025.
A big change on the new VX1 glove is the 50-degree break. The past generations of Velocity gloves were 60-degree breaks. With the recent popularity of the “580” break, the new VX1 50-degree break leans that way, although not to such an extreme as the 580. With the new VX1 Catch Glove 50-degree break, this includes an all-new molded one-piece palm. Customers will notice immediately that this molded palm and 50-degree break allows the glove to feel broken in right off the shelf. This new design also provides added protection to the palm area and help reduce palm stingers.
The T-Web of the VX1 catch glove has been widened by 1/2 inch versus past models. This allows for a bigger catch pocket while also allowing the glove to open wider.
The finger stalls of the VX1 catch glove have also been redesigned to allow for a more natural feel in the glove. All of the wrist straps of the VX1 have been moved closer to the palm area of the hand. This allows for a tighter fit with more wrist flexibility and mobility.
Vaughn has removed the two leather straps in the thumb area (most younger goalies had no idea why there was two leather straps sticking out the side of the thumb & pinky). Vaughn has kept these two straps in the pinky area. When you see these two leather straps sticking out the side of the pinky area. this is to adjust how wide or how narrow you want your pinky in the glove. Because of the new thumb molds, there is basically no movement available and therefore these straps where useless in the thumb area.
*Goalies Plus has added skate lace pockets to all of our Special Edition catch gloves.
