Well first of all, the guys at Don Simmons claim their product to be a Pro level pad (that's debatable, some goalies that have used their pads are happy but some goalie gear guru's have taken their gear apart and said their gear is not up to par compared to a pro line). But for the sake of our discussion, lets call Simmons pads pro pads and leave it at that. So.... technically, you bought pro pads!
PS, what Simmons line did you get? Did you order their pads custom made recently or did you buy a brand new old stock from a dealer?
The guys there wouldn't even let you make a +3 thighrise so I reallllly doubt they offer custom made 12" custom pads....
Edit: Simmons would also qualify with Battram, Brown, Viper, etc as one of the smaller companies that make custom designed "pro level" pads.
I got some Ultra Lights. Not sure the model number. All I know is that I got an outsanding deal and love my pads. They were not custom at all. So I must have bought some old stock. so please excuse my previous post. I thought companies were still producing pads that do not conform to the current NHL requirements.
Like I said, I was never an equipment junkie. I didn't get my first set of new pads until I was a junior in high school, so making sure I had top of the line name brand gear was never really a priority
