  1. Today
  2. Photos taken from the gear geek instagram. Is this likely to get a general release? Like the FT5 true north?
  3. I would think the 5 and 7 would be less prone, given they use fiberglass, which tends to be thicker and heavier. But I'm sure someone closer to it will confirm/deny. The 9s definitely. My kid cracked 2 pair in about 12 months. He's in the 9x4 now and is loving them. Dad has his fingers crossed they are more durable. Especially with the price jump.
  4. Which True models are known for cracking? Is it all models or just the Cat9?
  5. Sounds like a profiling adjustment would be in order instead of "renovating" the boot to holder interface. Believe the stock profile on the True blades is a 9'/10' combo.
  6. Looks like a True version of the Tackla Breeze X1 ProZone Hockey Pants Tackla is the distributor of True Hockey in Finland, so there is your connection.
  7. Yesterday
  8. Question for the hive. I just got a pair of Cat 7's. Love the boot, but I feel I am pitched too far forward. Coming from Bauer One100's with a 1.5mm heel lift on LS2 (which I loved), and the True's feel quite a bit more forward, where it feels like I am falling forward with skating backwards. Wondering what people would recommend to achieve a similar pitch? Should I put a 1.5-3mm shim on the toe of the Shift Max? Or, should I just put on the LS 2's on the Cat 7's? (which would mean drilling the boot, and drilling the sole as well to get access to the holder, if a blade needs changing).
  9. Last week
  10. So is this confirmed? If I buy a 69" CCM stick it can be cut with no issue? There's no insert like the Bauer's?
  11. Trying to get my hands on them...
  12. HGTK are straight up the retail pant with a different cover. So that would be an option for people looking for more light weight and less overall protection. But they aren't really lighter than the UCLP... But certainly fit looser.
  13. I personally would always expect to wait about 2-3 mths for custom anything
  14. Unfortunately, it's normal for any company. There isn't a portal that retail workers have access to to look into the progress of any custom products (skates, sticks). We're kind of at the liberty of the vendors after the order is placed. I work at Pure Hockey and this is one thing that we have expressed much frustration about because when delays happen, we usually can't see why or how long it has been delayed for.
  15. That is a very good point! I will see what I can do to make some alterations to it!
  16. My Nexus 2900s have a little taper to the piece right over the knuckles where the fingers meet, but I never noticed until I looked. I always thought of them as direct descendants to Cooper BDP Pros, which do have all perfect rectangle rolls. Growing up those were my grail gloves. I had SC Pros which were a short cuff model, hence the name.
  17. Are there any pros today with slimmed down pants? I've come across someone saying Hull took a lot of padding out of his pants. I think Kovalev did the same, or just played in slimmer model Kohos until switching over to Easton, then Warrior. Kovalchuk played many of his early years in Nike retail pants.
  18. This pant is strictly a retail only pant similar to say a CCM FT6 Pro or Bauer Hyperlite. Definitely not a beefy Pro Stock pant.
  19. I had the original superfeet yellow prior to speed plates and found they were fine. But after speed plates I didn't like them, mainly because it had my heel sit too high up with the carbons. Haven't tried the comforts though, which seems like a softer version of the original yellow. I like a stiffer insole so I tried the carbon first. May eventually give the comfort a shot once I'm through my speed plate stash.
  20. I ended up getting it on my player skates and I quite like them. Unfortunately I ran into an issue when I got them for the old holder SB4.0, the blade would not hold an edge (I still have the blades somewhere). I ended up swapping the holders and trying them one more time.
  21. I placed an order for a custom warrior LX2 Pro Stick through Hockey Monkey on 7/18. When I placed the order it stated it would take 15-20 days to process. As of 9/5 I don't have the stick. I contacted Warrior Customer Service and was told no service agents were available and to leave and name & phone #. I contacted Hockey Monkey and they could not advise the status of the order either, other than to say they would look into the matter. Any suggestions? Is this normal for Warrior?
  22. Bauer’s later 4-Rolls’ 4th roll from the top isn’t a rectangle, but a wide and short pentagon. The pinky side is sliced to better match the angles of the palm. Some of Easton’s later 4-Rolls’ 3rd and 4th rolls were convex and concave, respectively. I’ve never worn a pair of Easton’s but I imagine this was worked out to better fit the fisty formation of the hand when holding a stick. Both examples feature mostly straight rectangular rolls on the backhand, so they’re still 4-Rolls in my mind.
  23. I wonder if any True athletes will wear them? Off the top of my head I can’t think of any players that wear True pants
  24. I started out with the Eagle X70 gloves back in high school. Switched over to the (Nike) Bauer 4-Roll lineup with the most recent pair (for me) being the Bauer 1N. I'm currently rocking Warrior Alpha DX Pro. Love them all for different reason. I've always wanted to try the CCM version but never got around to it.
  25. What is a deviant roll? I think of Bauers as a 4-roll, never really thought about any subcategories. i think I may get a pair of the CCMs, I really like them.
  26. Catalyst Player Pant Not sure of the partnership details between True and Tackla, but this is a nice pant. Tackla fit and extremely light. It will be interesting to see how the durability is and how well it does at retail.
  27. Used SuperFeet before and after SpeedPlates. They're better than stock footbeds but do (did in my case) require a bit of a break in period. Curex makes a nice arch specific footbed as well. Currently using the Bauer Aetrex footbed and find it to be more comfortable out of the box when compared to SuperFeet.
