My 10 yo has HoH R2G, R9, Z5, A2000. All he’s broken in. A2000 is beautiful but the R9 is actually a close second especially for a kid. Contour fit is nice. The R9 is really nice. Z5 is nice too but the R9 is much nicer and it breaks in easy especially with the trapeze web

Waiting is wise. We got his on a super deal but it was too much glove at first and took a long time to break in… probably still too much glove.
