    710 was fine. It was the310 that gave me temple pinch. I don't see how the ear covers would make a difference.

    Thanks guys. This was reiterated by hockeystickman too.

    I rotate and have two ft3 pros and one trigger 4 pro. I bring one ft3 pro and one t4 pro to the rink and depending what position I play or what flex I feel like using I'll choose one over the other. Ft3 pro is 70 flex and my t4 is 75. Been feeling better with the 75 flex lately though, but I'm kind of fickle when it comes to going from one to the other.

    I'm looking at sticks on hockeystickman.ca and the only flex and curve option I want comes in the 64" extended length. I was wondering if the extended sticks' flex rating is tested at the same length as standard 59/60" sticks or whether the flex is rated at the longer length. I cut about 1-1.5" off a standard 60" stick and didn't want the 64 to feel stiffer after it's been chopped down 5". And for those who say stick flex never changes, I'm not here to argue with you about that topic. I'm just asking whether the sticks are tested at the same spot for flex regardless of length. Tia

    Does this shop have trues in stock? If so try them.

    It depends how the "custom" boot is made. If it's made inside out then yes it should fit. But if it's a stock boot thats high pressure moulded onto your foot last, there still may be issues esp where there's connection points where toe cap meets quarter package etc. Lots of variables.

    It doesn't always.

    Or you can try the tf9 for 30 days lol. Custom ccms may not solve ur fit problems.

    Personally I'd go to your card company and get a refund. Hopefully u bought with credit card. It'll be easy to get your money back. If they cant prove the skate is in production. And not even an order number etc to follow-up with is Busch league

    This is a good idea

    You should be able to track the process online. You get an email sent to you by true confirming your order and the actual process and when they are shipped etc. If not, then it's on PHL.

    My same experience as well. But my overall favourite right now is the trigger 4 pro. But I'm more of a low kick guy. The ft3 pro does have more pop than traditional mid kicks that's why I like it too.

    I have issues with the temples of helmets digging into my cheek/temple bc of my cheekbones. It's annoying so only a handful of helmets fit me without that being an issue. It's usually fixed when I put a visor with old school washer spacers that cause the temples of tht helmets to pull out a bit, but when I try on helmets I will only get it if they fit good out of box as I don't want to count on my visor pulling the temple areas for good fitment. I prefer to use the ccm visors spacers that don't alter the shape or the helmet or visor at all, so that's another reason. Final reason is having the temples of the helmets flared too much bc of the visor could cause premature cracking of the plastic in that area.

    Interesting... For me it wouldn't be an issue but holder sizing is a problem if you're say generally a size 7 which is a 263 holder and gave to size down to 6-6.5 in true and that is a 254 holder. Doesn't make sense to me if the boot length is the same between their 6/6.5 and others' 7, yet they use a shorter holder.

    Didn't weigh. Don't care about the weight. Just the comfort. Didn't notice my ability to turn my head slower or faster than usual 😜
  16. Sniper9
    Same. And you can't beat the clearance price.

    Reviving old thread. Just got a 710 and love it. Most comfy helmet I've had. Previously I was wearing the warrior alpha one pro and thought that was the most comfy. Still like the warrior but this is def more supportive and comfy whereas the warrior wasn't that supportive being a boa system. I tried the 310 as I wanted to get something cheaper if both fit the same but to my surprise the 310 didn't fit the same. The temples angled in more and really pushed into my temple/cheekbone area. I have the higher asian cheekbones which can make helmet fitting tricky. I was surprised at how the fits were that diff. I'm just glad the 710 fit. Played a pickup tonight with it and it felt great. I wasn't used to having so much support all around every inch of my head, that was the only thing I had to get used to, especially when coming from the warrior which is like a bike helmet.

    Nothing.

    The reason I drop an eyelet is so I can tie my skates tight from top to bottom and still get the flexion, consistently. I don't like tying the top eyelet looser bc it affects the tension for the rest of the eyelets even with waxed laces.
  20. Sniper9
    That sucks. Should've tried true and ccm first to see if either would work for you since both of guaranty periods.
  21. Sniper9
    Take the footbed out and see if the length is right. Whether you can get your foot in the true skate prebake has no indication of how they will fit baked.

    Matthews stick is pretty short so he's kind of forced to have his hands closer together vs a longer stick. At the end of the the day stick flex is whatever you are used to. You can train yourself to adapt to use a stiffer or whippier stick. So the pros and cons are essentially not that important. I would say it's more important for a younger player to start out with a stick that can actually load properly and then it's all preference once they have built the foundations.

    The part that holds the piece of velcro that attaches to the tongue. It isn't extremely common but when you look at the design it's bound to happen, and when it does it's annoying af. iN my case though, I will say it was bc whoever stitched it did a brutal job and it wasn't due to wear and tear. But I do know this happens on occasion from wear and tear.

    The issue isn't so much the actual toe cap breaking but that stupid plastic velcro tab.
  25. Sniper9
    Have you not seen the velcro tab breaking off? The only way to fix that properly is to replace the toe cap. It happened to me the same day I brought my skates home from the shop bc whoever stitched the velcro onto the tab went over it like three times causing so many needle holes in the plastic tab that it just tore off like cheque from a chequebook. I sent it back and they fixed it by putting a glob of epoxy on it..... Even after saying they would most likely replace the whole toe cap to fix it properly. I ended up just using epoxy to adhere the velcro directly on the underside of the toecap but the overall design of the velcro tab is flawed.
