    Thanks for the response @sturdy22. I think I will save the $$ on the swaps and just apply it to the Warriors when they launch (or when they go on sale after they have been available for a minute if my steel holds out that long. @IPv6Freely I just started hunting for CXN runners. I saw a listing on Sideline Swap and thought I scored and then saw it was an old listing. The sage shall continue.

    Has anyone tried the Pro34 (Geppetto's Masterpiece) curve? Sounds pretty interesting, not sure about the 6 lie though, as I prefer a 5/5.5

    I am also an Easton CXN runner and holder user. I have several pairs of makos that I rotate and I also have extra Easton holders/runners I put on my trues. I am Interested in the new Warrior skates also. I have tried several different quads and duals on Tuuks but I haven’t found one that lands and gives me the on my toes feeling. I have found that a single radius (9’ or 10’) with an aggressive forward pitch on tuuk runners is pretty close to the pitch on the Easton runners. Not perfect but close enough that you’ll adjust pretty quick. I have also used 3mm lifts between the holder and boot on Tuuks with a single radius as a cheaper alternative. I have my own riveter so I am able to change holders and lifts easily.

    Search for more steel, swap holders, or switch to True would be my suggestions.

    Does anyone have a recommendation for what to do with my Easton Makos that are running thin on their runners? I thought I bought an extra pair of steel but I cannot find it after 3 moves. Anyway, my steel is running thin. Size 9.5EE Makos with 280mm steel. What do I do if I cannot find replacement steel? Swap out the holders with Tuuk? Or wait for the Warrior skates? I figure I have 6-9 months to figure it out before the steel gets down to unplayable.

    Happy you like the OG BLUE. The custom build will be the Redline Mid kick. Its actually a bit liter. (375g) and tough as nails.

    Recent second hand pickups, dirt cheap. Barely used late-Easton Pro 4-rolls: Royal Blue 4500 bucket with Nike Bauer brandind, good condition. Gotta ensure that I don't have to switch to a different helmet ever!

    Hey Cavs019, The stick code you have "T9QR5P" is a standard QR5 Pro. While I don't know what they stand for, Coverts are prefaced with T9, while Alphas are prefaced with T8. You would have to upgrade to QR6 Pro to take what's currently offered at retail in today's customizer. I am a P90T / P90TM lover myself. If you haven't seen a retail P90TM from Warrior or other brands who are doing them, check them out. They are not a true max height, nor are they as lean as a true Benn pro. There is only a slight blade height increase to create that happy medium. You might be just as happy with them. Happy hunting.

    Do you guys know if it’s possible to order duplicates of a pro stock Warrior twig through a local rep or otherwise? I have a Denisenko QR5 Pro with specs that I love and I’d like to order a few more. I know they have their retail customizer now but that only has the stock P90TM whereas my stick is a regular height P90T with slightly more toe added ala Benn. The “80 T9QR5P” has since rubbed off but would the barcode sticker/number on the underside of the stick house all of the build details on Warrior’s side? Appreciate any thoughts or ideas on this. Thanks!

    That sounds perfect for you, then. At least its worth a shot. At worst, you're out some cash. At best, they solve all your issues. Honestly I wouldn't bother wasting your time with reviews and feedback on Superfeet. We all know they are great IF they work for you. The only negative feedback you're going to find are from people they didn't work out for, which is irrelevant.

    Thank you for giving such detailed instructions! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind? #3 What black dot? Is it on the Prosharp Machine? I could not see a black dot in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bZzqUL9hws #4 When you place fresh blades normally on the rollers/balls, they will be level. If you place them back like this, will the front of the blade be slightly tilted up in the air and is that the point? P.S sorry for waking this thread from the dead.

    Where the plate is is exactly where I'm struggling with my feet being too low volume for my skates. I've tried adding the felt part of a Catalyst 7 tongue I dissected. That's hit or miss depending on the skate. The Nike insoles have extra layers of firm foam there. That really helps in a lot of skates, but they're annoyingly lacking in coverage under the forefoot and too thin in the back, giving a void feeling right under the heel if they aren't in exactly the right place. The more I look into it, the more it seems like this might be the best bet for my issues. I know there's a dearth of info and feedback on them in various topics in here. I'm just a little too scatterbrained to take on that read right now. Will probably do it late one night soon.

    Superfeet are great if they solve a specific problem for you. They very much change the way the skate fits so that may be good, or it may be bad. You can see the supports in the back and the entire underside is rigid. I do think they have models without that, but the skate-specific models look like this.

    I'm actually hunting for some taller insoles but have never tried Superfeet. How do they feel to skate on compared to regular insoles? I like my insoles medium firm--a little squish but not as much as True/MLX insoles. I've found Nike's old insoles from the late 90's - early 00's with a couple extra layers of foam underneath help me a lot in most skates where I'm so low volume my foot either sloshes around inside or I have to lace so tight I can't move my ankles enough.

    Shoe size, then trim to fit, this way the dimensions are best for your foot. I'm a 9.5 shoe, 7.5 tapered skate, and went with a size 9 insole which works well for me. I actually picked up a pair of Aetrex Bauer ones from SLS but haven't tried them yet, I don't need them but am always curious to try different things and the price was right (just over $20 shipped).

    Interested in trying these. Did you buy them according to your shoe size? I assume that would affect arch placement.

    Both Ice Warehouse and PH have them. It's a brand older guys playing beer league remember. Those same guys don't really want to spend $1200 on ski boots. I can totally see guys like that giving them a shot. Not saying they will succeed. More so just pointing out there is a path.

    I am 99% the only major retailer getting them is Peranis. There are a couple LHS in the USA that will have them but not many. Under 10 doors it looks like for the beginning

    It may be something that may be better received in Europe and not north America. Just like how graf is still hanging around.

    Good to see Daoust and Warrior entering the market.. I hope they make a dent. That said, still no word from ,my current employer (HM) on whether or not we will get them in store. If HM and PH don't get them they wont make it.

    Seems like they have a very similar holder to the new Warrior skate. I wonder if they come from the same factory?

    Bauer Nexus 1000 is the last stick I absolutely loved.

    Try the Aetrex Bauer
  34. Westside
    The Genetix insoles that come with some True skates are squishy and would be nice if you’re a ref or coach in your skates all day. As a player I feel they take up too much volume and deaden the feel of the skates
