    IMO, the question is if you want it done right? Send them off to a proper professional to have them done right and chalk up the added cost as having learned a lesson

    I made a bad decision and had a fried at the rink repalm a pair of my gloves with Eagle palms. The way he fit and stitched them too much material bunches in my hands when I grip the stick and they’re unusable. Other people have told me to either take them to a cobbler or just send them in to a repair shop. 2 cobblers so far said no that their machine wouldn’t fit the gloves. Any recommendations on how to fix this?

    Warrior seems to call their version W9T - W90TM, so not sure what that means lol Personally, I need the lower lie of the CCM P90TM, but really want to try the LX3 pro stick
  6. Karly14
    I haven’t used the Warrior retail version, but I have used the pro stock P90T, which is probably the closest to pro Benn that’s out there. For what it’s worth, here’s my experience having used most of the available variations. The pro Benn, which is my favourite, has the highest lie and the deepest, most sudden, deep kink at the very toe. It’s basically a true P92 that’s been modified at the end, which actually makes it slightly shorter than a standard P92. The CCM pro version of p90t is very close to the same thing, but the kink is a bit less aggressive. The retail CCM and Bauer P90TM play quite a bit differently than a pro Benn. The lie is significantly lower and the curve runs more through the blade, with only the slightest break right at the toe. I actually find switching from a Benn to a retail P92, or even a P28, easier than going from a Benn to a P90TM. The TRUE version (TC6 / P90T) is also kind of its own thing, which I personally find very difficult to use. It has a narrower heel and a rounder toe, almost like a P91. The kink is a bit more pronounced than the P90TM, but not dramatically so. Even PRO’s Benn version isn’t really a true Bauer Benn. It’s based on the pro CCM version, which has a slightly softer kink. For me, it’s either Bauer Benn or something entirely different. Lately I’ve been using PRO’s Thompson. I find it plays somewhat similarly to Benn but it’s much longer and taller, with the most aggressive toe break of all of them. I’ve tried most of the popular toe patterns over the years and I’ve found the Thompson is the best and most fun for puckhandling. The downside is that because I’m about a foot shorter than Thompson, I find it harder and slower to lift my heel and load a shot properly because of the angles of a very long blade without forgiving pocket. All of this should probably be prefaced with the fact that I’m extremely picky about curves and have likely lost my mind at some point, which may be messing with this entire analysis.

    Yeah, The shins even have the CCM logo molded into the pad. SMH... Man some old 6070/ 7k shins and some 8066 elbow pads would be insane!

    From what I know, P90T (Benn) and P90TM are slightly different, P90T has a higher lie.

    I don’t know if i’m on the extreme side. I havent really though of it, because there is a few Sr players on the club that also use 41mm. What profile they’re on, i don’t know but after speaking to other coaches from other U13 teams on education days and so on, it seems as if we (our club) use shallower hollows than most other clubs on U13 level here. Most seem to be on somwhere around 20-25mm on their U13 players.

    Thanks, I haven't tried Bauer's P90T curve, but it looked a little different in-store. I have tried the PP90MX, and didn't like it. Has anyone tried Warrior's W90T, if so, how does it compare to CCM's P90TM curve?

    Feels like they are missing out on printing-bags-of-money type product by not selling a 235 Helmet. But, to avoid lawsuits would it probably have to come with a bunch of giant warnings that say “not intended for use as a protective helmet. Display purposes only.” or something like that. Still, give the kids* what they want. *old men

    I don't know about Warrior, but Bauer's P90TM is exactly the same as CCM's P90TM, I have both (different retail CCM sticks and Bauer Nexus League marked as P90TM), and they are identical. Sherwood's PP90MX is the same lie but has a slightly different curve on a toe.
  14. malcb33
    Does anyone know how CCM's P90TM curve compares to Warrior's W90T. I know it's their version of it, but is it a clone, or different like Bauer's version? I'm looking at picking up a LX3 pro, but haven't seen the W90T locally.

    Sorry I just saw this, my stick is between my nose and my lip, certainly on the longer side of things. I'm 6'2" and have longer arms but keep the puck away from my self generally speaking and I only coach now I haven't played on a team in a years, as I coach I get more and more upright using a longer and longer stick but I do like how it feels for me personally, back and hips are less mobile than 20 years ago and the length helps compensate for me,

    As others have touched on already, my takeaway is this is nothing new. Jofa never really went away either. The name was retired, but its influence is everywhere. Almost everything on the market today is a direct descendent of Jofa or a clear rip off of it. The weird stuff Bauer has is different, and Sher-Wood has their own things or rip offs of Warrior's retired patterns. Jofa is still king. Always has been.

    Exactly what I saw too. Nothing special you can’t simply get already with Tacks. Don’t get the hype other than it being white which will look yellow after a few games
  18. xstartxtodayx started following JOFA is BACK!!! Any idea on release dates?
  19. xstartxtodayx
    Everything I saw looks like SMU Jofa branded Tacks stuff, kind of a bummer. If they'd just re-release the old stuff without the fancy new tech it would be amazing... give me some 9144 Pro or 7K elbow pads and some 7K shins and I'd be psyched.

    I'm seeing pics all over Social Media of the resurrection of the JOFA branded protective gear. From what I have seen it only model of the following, shoulders, elbows, shins, gloves and the old 580 cage. It doesn't look like anything special and in a way very nostalgic. I can see that it is using the D3O foam, The shoulders look like an old pair of the Vector shoulder pads just rebranded as I'm sure the cage will be the same. I guess I'm just happy to see this name back in the game. Now I can only hope that they bring back the wrist guards and jocks that are still used and sought after today.

    Yeah I know, you are not getting as much help from the hollow so you need to have excellent control of your edges. The funny thing is that Quad isn't even a big profile and I know Swedish players are known for having large profiles with shallow hollow. Zetterberg and Petterson on Detroit II (the goalie profile) Zinebajad on Detroit I, etc. So you must be on the extreme end with 40mm on a Quad or maybe it's common in your team(s)?
  22. Radien55
    The longer heel is what does it for me too. I am so used to it now that when I skate on a profile that does not have it, (like 10' or even Zuperior) and you go to push off with the heel, the steel isn't there and the skate starts tipping backwards (because just like you said it's too rounded). I can't live without it now.

    Iv’e been on much shallower hollow in the past. Now i’m only coaching my sons U13 Team. When i still played i was on 41mm hollow, (1 1/2 is 38mm). My son who is 12 years old is on 1 1/16 Quad XS. The club i coach for focus a lot on edgework and being strong on the edges, inside and outside. We always start the practice with focus on skating for about 20 minutes. So i guess the skating focus is a big factor in being able to use such a shallow hollow as most of the kids on my sons team do.

    I've tried a bunch of different profiles while testing different blades and always came back to the Quad. Ellipse felt like it was far too rounded especially on the heel. I tried the Tydan specific profile as well (Stamkos one I can't remember the name) and quickly went back the Quad. Having the longer heel feels so much better for me.
  26. Radien55
    I'm on size 9 with 280mm runners. Wow that's shallow, I thought mine was high at 1 1/16". 1 1/2" is impressive!
  27. swede
    Size 7 and 7.5 skates, both with 263 runners. Both are on Quad Zero. I could have gone with Quad 1 or 2 as well, but im more agile on the Zero, and i have a 1 1/2 hollow so the glide is never an issue for me anyway.
  28. Radien55
    I'm more of a longer strides skater, so with your description in mind I don't think Ellipse is for me. I definitely don't want to sacrifice glide and stability. What size skates and runners are you on with Quad Zero?
  29. malcb33
    Chin length for me.
  30. swede
    I used to be skating on ellipse zero but changed to Quad Zero like two years ago. I find the transition from Ellipse to Quad was easy. The biggest difference to me was the increased glide and the stability in backwards skating. the ellipse is very good for someone with fast feet and fast direction changes while i would say a quad is better fore someone with longer strides.
