We will address the elephant in the room first: Has CCM fixed their glove issues? The answer to this is yes, the new Axis F5 glove does open and close like a glove supposed to. Can a junior goalie open and close the new Axis F5 glove? Yes, a younger goalie can open and close the new Axis F5 glove. Right off the shelf this glove opens and closes easily. Past generations of CCM junior gloves were very stiff and hard to break in however this issue has been addressed and fixed. CCM will continue to use a 591 break in the Axis F5 junior catch glove. The 591 is based off the 590 but redesigned for better opening and closing. The Axis F5 Junior Catch Glove will have a new Flexmotion design on the backhand of the glove. This effectively allows the glove to open and close properly. This also has a greater range of adjustability compared to past CCM gloves. The internal strapping on the back of the hand has also been redesigned to allow for more adjustability and comfort. This is the Cross Form Strap System. The cuff and thumb of the new CCM Axis F5 catch glove will have a LITECORE core but scaled down for a young goalie to use. This is an injected molded material that keeps its shape even after extreme pounding from shots to the cuff. It is important to know that non injection molded cuffs will flatten out over time from the abuse a glove takes. In the finger area, there will be an individual pocket/strap for the pinky and pointer finger. The middle finger and ring finger will come together in one pocket (essentially the middle and ring fingers will be sharing an area of the glove).
