Pants: Bauer Mach vs 3S Pro
I am thinking about getting new pants and I like the Machs, but I noticed they don't have the belly flap protection and thought that was kind of strange, as most pants have it. I looked at them in the store today and there is nothing behind the closure system, which is very thin itself, so the only protection in this region is the jock and there would perhaps be a gap between it and the shoulder pads. Does anyone have experience with this, is this an issue?
Bauer Pro Stock Skate V Cut question
Are the Bauer V Cut Tech mesh skates based on the X:60 or X90 or just a tech mesh skate on the current last? Some vapors fit and some did not.
wearing ear buds WHILE playing
just curious if any of you are seeing people trying to play with ear buds/Air Pods in their ears?some background: we have a goalie in our Rec League (draft every season, all skill levels together, goalies play in a time slot rather than a set team) who plays with Air Pods in his ears. as a league, we've been looking the other way and it's not really been a problem. recently a skater wanted to know if they could wear them while playing as well. The Board (we are independent, not run by a rink) di
Skatescribe profile, anyone skating on?
Just got some new steel for trues JRZ dlc, with skatescribe gold profile. Anxious to try them out tomorrow. anyone skating on a skatescribe profile, if so which and what are your thoughts or comparisons to previous profile. thanks
Bauer Scanner and Profile Recommendations
I have had my son on 9’/10’ basically since he started based on the info that was posted here many years ago based on the research available at that time. Just watched the ProSharp presentation on the Coaches Site again and they mentioned documentation they had available to help choose profiling but since Bauer bought them it seems they transitioned to the scanner for recommendations. I am thinking of getting a second set of cheaper steel and doing a little experimenting with him. I still
CCM Skate Fits - tapered vs regular
I searched a bit but couldn't find anything too in depth. Regarding the current CCM skate fits (regular, tapered, wide)... is the current "tapered" fit similar or the same as the old Jetspeed fit from the FT2 era? I had a pair of FT390's for a little and they were definitely tapered feeling and weren't a bad fit at all. I tried on some newer Jetspeeds in the regular fit today and they felt ok but they didn't have anything in tapered for me to try on (my foot is on the skinnier side so in

Trouble with quad 0 profile
Hey I’m just looking for advice on the quad zero profile. I was using ccm rbz size 8 skates with 272 runners for the last 9 years and I looked and realized that they have a banana blade with a lot of heel shaved off. I needed new skates so got supreme m5 pro skates (size 8.5 272 runners) I decided to get them profiled to a quad zero with a 5/8 hollow and I find that I get good glide and straight line speed and even turning is nice with them but when I start to cross over I feel very s
Adjusting pivot point back to neutral
I've seen several posts regarding adjusting the pivot point on the AS2001 to compensate for pitched profiles if refreshing a profile. What happens if you want to adjust the pivot point back to neutral? Would there not also need to be an adjustment that needs to be made if returning the runner to a neutral pivot point?
Liking Quad 2 but looking for some tweaks
So some of you maybe saw my recent skate fitment journey. Had my new Vapor skates profiled with quad 2, 11/16 roh, just like my previous Ribcors overall I like this profile but I’d like maybe a little more grip/bite/explosion and more agility (had difficulties to initiate quick turns tonight). i don’t mind losing some glide since I find quad 2 has plenty of it. Quad 2 feel light and smooth but id like maybe a tiny more heavy feeling. should I stay with quad 2 and focus more on s
Bauer’s Factory Profile
I read the Bauer’s factory profile is set at what I am assuming is a Quad Zero due to the radio (6ft-9ft-11ft-13ft) out of the box. Pro Sharp lists this as a size 7-8 skate. Does this mean that if one has a junior size 1-2, the Bauer factory profile would be a Quad 3XS (4ft-5ft-7ft-10ft)? I have new Step Steel Blacksteel and want to possibly profile them with a Quad 3XS for my squirt. I’d like him to skate in the profile prior and if the Bauer factory profile matches Pro Sharp’s Quad profiling,

Bauer Proto-R
Height: 5’10” Weight: 150 lbs Shoots: Left I've been playing hockey since I was 7 with roller and started ice when I was 11. I've played as high as midget AAA but was a career AA player at best, along with high school varsity hockey in New Jersey. I've used many sticks throughout my time on the ice. To give you an idea of what I have to compare the Proto-R to, I've used: Nike Bauer Vapor XXX Lite TPS Response R8 RBK 7K SicKick Easton Synergy SL Ea

CCM XF Pro Shin Guard
Height - 6'3" Weight - 240 lbs Pad size - 15 inch Level of play: B/C Level Location: Massachusetts Fit - 10/10 I was looking for a pad that wasn’t as bulky as the old reeboks and jofa pads.

I was looking for a pad that was in between both those fit profiles and the xf pro fit that criteria for me My leg fits properly in the shin channel and
CCM SuperTacks AS-V Pro Total Custom Skates
I have worn a bunch of True skates in the past, and these ones have been my favourite so far and by far the best for durability. Very impressed with these once I dialed in the fit.

Bauer Re-Akt 200
I've been wearing this helmet for the past year and have found it to be very comfortable once adjusted.i'm getting older and I wanted something that offered protection. I just happened to be run into by a player on another team who is a good 75lbs larger then me. Needless to say we both went down and I hit the back of my head pretty hard. I basically ended up with a sore neck; never felt anything to the back of my head, never lost consciousness or headache, virtually no signs of concussion. I fe
