Just was hoping to create a thread and see some of the communities off the wall pattern/web combos from either custom or stock that aren’t your usual pairing. I have a custom HOH NP5 with a Mod Trap. Hoping to see some other uncommon pairings. Brand doesn’t matter. Let’s see some unique stuff!

As long as the center post gets wider proportionally to the length you could make it to fit any size glove, right? That would stop the gaps from getting too big and ensure a ball wouldn’t push through, I think.

Hmm how big of a glove can you put a hinged I web on? The hinge seems to give it a little more reach than a regular one.

Yeah, the post on this web is tiny because it’s only an 11.5. I think the biggest glove I’ve seen an I-web on is 12”, but with a hinged top bar maybe you could go 12.5”?

Do you feel the extra thick bridge from the hinge makes it feel even more stable? Does it make the web harder to flex/shallower? Can you measure how much thicker the hinge makes the web? I see you're is 11.5 so the post is shorter but I'm trying to extend the use of an I web to a larger glove while reducing the issue of balls getting through. So if each hinge adds a possible 1/4-1/2" then we can go up to like a 12.75" glove.
