Yeah, but even preference has to be correlated to performance if you know what I mean. Especially with more inexperienced players. Or there is a delay between the initial feeling of a new profile (which may feel uncomfortable and therefore not preferred) and X hours where it becomes comfortable and results in better performance. Just a long winded way of saying I don’t think there is currently a good way to prescribe profiles for the majority of players.

On sideline swap, sort by the size you need, and just take time browsing. There’s a ton of good pants from college, juniors, and minors teams that are less expensive than ones with NHL branding. It takes some time to learn about what different codes mean, but you’ll good about yourself once you start to learn some of the codes and are able to visually identify stuff. Patience and paying attention are your friends. Resources are out there, but a lot of it is piecing together different info from different places.

There is some research but not much. Years back someone here linked to some and at that time 9/10 showed the best performance. input him on 9/10 based on that as well as, regardless of the profile, he will have consistency. Just thinking it might be worth playing around with a second set. BTW, the scanner just spits out a category. It just said Quad so I assume that IT implies you should match to the skate size. Not that helpful, that would have been our first experiment anyway. And it would seem ProSharp has data they used to make recommendations to pros but still seems like some experimentation and collaboration at the end of the day.
