    I wanted to give an update on my new VS. Not going to make this long. The stick fires bombs. I should add that I am only in a league that does not allow slap shots. My wrist shots with this thing are (for me) lasers and snap shots are effortless bombs. The ref even said to me that with a snap shot that heavy I can only imagine what a slap shot would be like. Man, I could not be happier with this stick. They refer to this as a high kick but I would say it is a mid kick for sure. Slide that bottom hand half way down the shaft, get the puck under you and let'r fly!! PROSTOCKHOCKEYSTICKS VS is a GEM!!

    I like it. It’s the third line so it’s over all a heavier stick but it plays a lot lighter. I tend to lean more towards heels but this is a good blend of a slight heel into a slight toe.

    How does it play? It almost resembles a toned down malkin?

    Does anyone have a pictures of a Barkov Pro curve they ordered from Gepetto/PRO? Just curious

    Just got a three pack of customs for my son, they feel and look the same as the old batches we've gotten but the labeling on the inside of the shaft has changed. This order took about 120-130 days which was longer than anticipated but always happy with the products I get from Gep

    Curious, Would you consider in True Skates a D size as a Fit 1 or 2?

    You might like yhe new flylights. Def softer than in the past. FYI... just got the new SVH customs. Will bake today. Supposed to be easier to put on.

    I don't know how, but my Catalyst 7s were absolutely killing my back last night. I strained something in my upper back sleeping on it funny or something and it felt like a robot was trying to pull my upper back apart like pulled chicken when I was skating in my Cats. I switched to X:60s midway and not just the pain but the tension in my back went away completely. I've tried everything I can think of to make Catalysts work for me. I had a good skate or two in there, but in the end, they're just like trying to shoot with Chara's stick and my lesser frame and incomparably inferior strength. Boots that have more flex in their ankle like Vapors, especially tech-mesh builds, are just so much better for my performance and general wear and tear it seems. I'm almost certain that was the last time I'll try those skates.

    Strangely, my VF is incredible at slap shots. I found out by accident because I never take them because it's not allowed for the old players league (over 35), but I took one in warm up yesterday and it was much stronger than any slap shot I've gotten out of any of my other sticks--I have enough for a team full of lefties. To see if it wasn't a fluke, I took a few more, including a last one with about half power put into it. It zipped top shelf bar and in. Overall the stick plays alright, but the slap shot kick really stands out. Not that it's much use to me, but it's kind of fun as a novelty. I'm just curious though, has anyone else experienced this with their VFs? It's possible I'm not engaging the kick right on other shots. It took me a while to learn how to adjust from low to mid kick. I had assumed VF would work with either of those approaches. This feels like it actually has a lot more kick than I've previously gotten out of it.

    Any update on how the profile went for you? Are you still using it? Issues? Did you find something better?

    i just received my VS yesterday. I'm a huge fan of the OG Blue so it will be interesting to see how this compares. They did not have my PRO9271 so I thought I would see what all the hype was about with the PRO9246 in the same flex. Will report back after my game on Sunday.

    nice post, for what its worth I wasn't a fan of the PRO VF or VX build. The VX felt like I had an intermediate sized lacrosse stick in my hands with an ok release, the VF doesn't compete compared to a 2NPRO or similar which I could get for the same or less money off sideline. I keep buying different PRO sticks thinking its gonna be better but it never is lol

    I went ahead and ordered a stock PRO VS with the McKinnon pattern from their inventory. I'm not a High Kick guy so the VS isn't really my thing but they had the McKinnon in stock so what the hell, right. The stick arrived less than a week after placing the order. The fit an finish was perfect, not a mark or blemish to be found. The overall feel, weight, balance, shaft dimensions were almost spot on to my beloved FT5 Pros. The build appears to be very close to the FT5 Pro as well...see attached pics. The pattern is definitely not my thing. Passing is crazy good. Nice puck feel though shooting with it, not so much. Different pattern and kick point plays into that. Anyway, I was more interested in how it compared to what I was currently using. I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. The VS didn't blow me away like the FT5 did but I was still very impressed with the performance especially given it's price point, $169USD. It's not all unicorns and show ponies for me. PRO only offers the pattern I'd like on customs and the OG lines, not the VS, VF or VX. And, they do not offer the VF, Hybrid kick point, as one of their custom builds. Argh..

    I've got to say, I've been impressed with the 3D tongues. Yes, they are breathable, but for me, the true benefits are how they take up any negative space across the top of the foot and how squishy they are. The squishy 3D structure really helps decrease the pressure on the tendons across the top of my ankle during forward flex.

    My friend and I bought this helmet at the same time, and we both agree—it’s a game changer when it comes to ventilation. I’ve worn it to several stick and puck sessions now, usually just with gloves and a helmet, and I’ve noticed I sweat about half as much as I did with my old CCM 910. It really stands out. Plus, since the helmet adjusts for both length and width, the fit is noticeably better than the 910 it's replacing.

    Like new condition. Older top end model. Asking $70+shipping within the US.

    Thanks for the info on the PRO1616... I guess we'll see if he notices.

    I reached out and they said you can order it directly from them right now. Just need to call or email them. I'm not steel specialist but from the video I posted above this steel design sounds very interesting.
  27. mcne0101
    They look promising but where can you buy steel to fit these? I don't even see any on the True website...
  28. iceman8310
    I have a pair of Bladetech afterburner steel. the blades do move in the edge holder as advertised. I also have a pair of DLC bladetech and there's less movement with that set.

    When I moved from Bauer to True I also switched from Tuuk to XS. Don’t recall any noticeable difference in the holder and I was using the same type of steel in both holders. The boot made the obvious difference to me. While I never had any durability issues with the trigger, the dial is easier to replace if needed

    i have two sets of the same skate. maybe one set edge and the other xs
