The holders don’t seem to be aligned correctly? The holders seem to be further away from the heel and toe on each skate. Also, aren’t the old holes supposed to be sealed?
- Last week

yeah its definitely confusing, particularly when explaining it to others. Not sure how many times people have asked me where i got my stick, and they are like "oh i ordered some gloves from there before" or something similar. Having your name as a descriptor of an item was a choice. Pretty excited to see their new offerings.
-
yeah, the retailer i took mine to just exchanged the visor for me and gave me a gift card for the remainder, which is good because i wanted another FV1 anyways, and i was about a week away from just putting the visor on sideline swap when they announced the recall.

I did the quads 2 profile, +2 pitch, and 1/2 ROH. I am still skidding a bit, not as bad as before, but nowhere near as good as I had it in the old Makos. The interesting thing is that when I just do a basic turn (no crossover) it is way sharper. And it is so sharp that my mind is not used to getting to where I want to get to so quickly, that the quick turn did not even help me when I used the skates the on time since I got them sorted out. I will get used to it, and hopefully my mind will stay up to date on where I am going. So yea not totally fixed yet but there is hope.

Hey man, how did the profiling work out? Did it fix your skidding out issues? I just picked up a pair of these. Sure enough, exact same issue as you. I also skate with a 1/2. I’ve never had this happen before, but I took my first three steps onto the ice and just leaned into one edge and fell.. Blew my mind. I continued skating and didn’t fall per say, but any time I leaned into an edge with about half as much energy as I normally would with my Trues, I could feel them going out from underneath me. I also normally skate with a quad… I’m not nervous that this purchase was a mistake… yet… 😅

UPDATE: CCM and all the other retailers I purchased HVR products from have been great and very easy to work with. All have offered full refunds if you don't want any of the exchange products offered.
-
No, thats not confusing at all... https://www.prostockhockey.com/ https://prostockhockeysticks.com/ Both sites come up when you Google prostockhockey sticks. Anyway, I'm hoping the Oynx will come with a slightly softer blade and offer the BigBenn pattern without a custom order.
-
But now they’re EVERYWHERE. Every retailer seems to offer new or used pro stock sticks and the term is definitely more mainstream than it was 10+ years ago. Then there’s my SEO comment about how generic ‘pro stock hockey sticks’ is if you simply typed it in google. Results inevitably return every single manufacturer’s pro stock sticks out there. If you’re a business and you’re trying to maximize online marketing spend, you would want better name recognition for your product so it doesn’t populate competitive results
-
I personally don’t find pshs confusing. Not sure about over people.
-
Pro stock sticks have been popular for over 20 years
-
I think you're right. It look like that to me as well anyway. Let's hope they release these in different color ways. A Kings set would be perfect to replace my Kovalchuk return QRLs.
-
Agreed. I thought Geppetto was going to change it to ‘Pro Reserve’ when they relaunched the other year. Feels like a missed opportunity. PSHS has always been too clunky with PSH and is even worse with the increased popularity of pro stock sticks in general. I have to imagine his SEO is terrible since the current brand name is basically a generic search term
-
But it does have a huge advertisement for Pro Stock Hockey in middle of it (let’s not even get into the concept of ads inside of ads). I’m hoping that is just product placement and not PSHS being bought out by PSH. I wish PSHS would just change their name while they are still small enough to do it. It’s confusing and clunky. If this new stick does well they probably have too much momentum to change the company name.
-
New PSHS Onyx stick coming? Hybrid like the VF, but different? Also strange the post doesn’t have PSHS tagged? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaV-VoAzBLe/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Well when spending a grand on skates that extra $3 for laces makes an impact 🙄
-
Mach were so bad though with that useless flex cuff. Fuse are a nice update if you can get past the look of the thumb. Weird thing is these look like the same break pattern as the Morph Pro? But the added pieces between the breaks and the fingers look great. Morph was terrible on the cuff though so I hope Sherwood has figured it out for this gen since they have been really solid before.
-
Super high quality laces lmao
-
Me too, that blended with QRL toward the bottom. Machs were the last retail glove I found appealing.
-
Backhand breaks remind me of the Bauer Machs
-
Agreed. I think out of all the hybrid cages out there, it had the best aesthetic appeal.
-
As a hybrid cage user, it’s too bad. I liked it better than bauers hybrid. Hopefully ccm brings it back with some better engineering
-
Stenberg's Sherwood gloves look surprisingly good, better than the Morph Pro.

I can tell you from experience that the micro-fractures are a real issue, and surprising that CCM took this long to announce a recall. The fractures mostly occur at the side screw holes but they can also happen at the edges of the visors. A bit disappointed with CCM's recall policy of exchanging for a FV1, a FM580, or a FM780. All (3) of those options are not equitable to the original cost of the HVR. The replacement visors alone cost more than the FM580 and FM780, and AFAIK the FM780 is a discontinued model which is low in inventory at most retailers. Would have been better if CCM just figured out a way to manufacture an upgraded version of the visor and send those out, but I'm sure they figured that to be either 1) not feasible or 2) not cost effective. Disappointing, cause in the past I have had great customer relations with CCM.

I think that's softness int he eyelet area is supposed to mimick the flex eyelet facing that was introduced in the newest svh customs. I'd be interested to see how firm the ankle ankle area is. I'll probably check them out in store at some point this weekend. For me, at under $1000 cdn (barely lol) and it being more durable, I don't care how they market it. If it feels good for and performance and lasts as long as a Bauer boot, I think it's a win.
