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

    My custom eagles. CP94s with Hossa cuff. Yellow Mustang Palms

    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.

    They look promising but where can you buy steel to fit these? I don't even see any on the True website...

    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

    Well I guess you can either give it some time and see if you don't improve or switch back. That's the beauty of options. I've considered moving to SX just for the Step Steel but in the end I decided to just stick with what I have.
  11. bthompson1286
    stiffer holder and I like the mechanism better than the trigger on the edge. maybe a better holder
  12. A2rhino
    Curious, Why did you switch to SX in the first place?
  13. bthompson1286
    Using the same hollow and profile. Using bladetech steel. I just feel like response and pop if that makes sense.

    Since the runners are not interchangeable you are likely experiencing a difference in profiles. Try having the new runners (blades) profiled to something that is close to your old runners and see how that feels.

    I have not ever used any holder other than the TUUKS. Tell us if you can. Are you actually slower? Meaning, are you losing races to the puck against players that you had beaten before? How long have you been on them? Could be just an adjustment period. What steel are you using in them? Are you using the basic steel whereas you may have been using a better quality steel in your Edge holders? Maybe a deeper hollow on these?

    I had bought a PRO1910 before as well. Its basically the CCM P19 which is more a Mid Heel P92. Really nice curve for sure.

    Hey everyone, I recently switched from the Edge holder to the XS holder and noticed something strange — I feel slower and less responsive overall. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m wondering if it’s just in my head or if there's actually a difference in performance or feel between the two holders. Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences. Thanks in advance!

    S19 Darbys! I'm jealous. I have one ST dressed as the Stealth tease. That thing has held up like a tank. I keep coming back to it, even though I'm mostly rotating P28s these days. I keep wondering about the origins of the Darby. I know there's a story about it being named after an Easton exec, but from what I remember about that story, he wasn't even a hockey guy. My guess is it's Ray Bourque's curve. That's good to hear about the 1616. I think I'll get one next time I order from Pro. It looks almost exactly like what I want in a curve.

    Being an avid user of the P106 and P89 I agree With your description of the 1616. I still have P106 and P89 blades that I’m saving and went with the 1616 because of the comparison to the 106 in the description. I have A bunch of PROs and I really Like the 1616 and have been using it for about a year over the others. my son just got a 1910 in a righty so I can’t use it but it’s a nice curve and I think it will be my next purchase.

    Thanks for posting that up!
  21. A2rhino
    Agreed. I used it for years and actually still have 5 sticks. 4 OLD SCHOOL Easton S19"s and an old Warrior W04

    Disadvantage in terms of weight? I can deal with it. I don’t play roller all that much and am far from competitive. Just play pickup when I’m in town and have the time. I remain a fan of Marsblade. After recently using some kryptonium hi-lo chassis before going back to the R1 with the O2 insert, I’ll double down on my enthusiasm for the product
  23. Westside
    Eh. They do a great job of eliminating any negative space on the top of your foot/boot, are quite comfortable, and do breathe well. Latest gen of True SVH tongues and the FT8 Pro tongue may achieve something similar with their memory foam minus the breathability

    That's a good point. Inside-out or under-over instead of over-under is definitely easy to adjust. The counterpoint is, it slips more easily. So while it's easier to adjust, it's also more prone to slips that require adjustment.

    Easy Jimi the 6 into a 9 now that P86 is the hot new sliced bread. I wish P89 were the hype. My favorite retail curve of all time, just ahead of E4 and P28.

    Pretty much. It's the facing creep that I'm looking at. The first Vapor with injected facing, APX2 stayed true to the classic Vapor L cut. HyperLite pushed it a bit more toward Cupreme C cut. FlyLite is definitely C cut. I get that they have the flex zones engineered into the facing part, but it's a different animal now, in my mind. Plenty of Supremes across the years have been more Vapor than this: 7000 and one90 come to mind. I get that times change, but to me, quintessential Vapor is 1. L-cut, 2. TechMesh, 3. Low kick tongue. I have and deeply appreciate all sorts of variations on classic Vapors, even Vapor wannabes like EQ5. Each deviation from the three Vapor hallmarks is a downgrade in my experience.

    I skated in custom Bauer's for over 10 years until I switched to True for my most recent pair - lost my ability to get Bauer's at cost so I moved on. It's been about 4 years since I ordered but I used to just have my local shop ask the Bauer rep for the most updated excel spreadsheet for pro custom skates and I'd put the same info from previous, maybe just update the liner and holder. The key back then was have someone who really knew what they were doing and how Bauer would do things fit you, at least on the first pair, to get them right. From there, I would reference my previous order versions in the comments and ask to add 1/2" to the facing between eyelets 2-8 on both skates to increase volume in the forefoot, as some prestocel on the ankle padding/donut padding on one of the skates to help heel slip where my heel was probably slightly narrow for the skate, reinforced eyelets, etc. You either need an experienced fitter, an experienced rep, or to be able to chat with customer service people (could do this back when they were made in St Jerome) to get what you want dialed in. That said, that's how it was back then as recent as 2020, I have no idea how much of that is/isn't relevant anymore, but I'm not sure how well some of the big box retailers are clued in to any of that, if they have any idea at all.
