So I stayed in the Quad 2, +2 pitch, and increased ROH to 7/16. The guy who sharpened my skates explained the ankle collapse/ roll on the outside edge skate when crossing over. I never needed to do this or know about this with the Makos, like they did whatever they needed to do naturally without having to worry about ankle flexion/ rolling/ collapsing. So, I went to a public skate and tried it and it worked. I thought I saw NHL'ers using this technique but figured it was just an optical illusion and never gave it much thought. Turns out, there is something there. The public skate does left turns and I am pretty dialed in on this side with catching the outside edge. As far as the right skate, I went to the middle and tried to find the body posture but I am still a bit off. Close but still minority sliding out. Oh and the 1LifeOnEarth ice skate ankle pads fill in the negative space in the ankles and help me recreate that feel that the Makos had in the ankle.

Gonchar, Pavelski, Bieksa

I have not. I also did not see any NHL'ers wearing Mako and they worked well for a lot of us.

First post everyone, I bought these cool Bauer one90 skates back in 2009. They appear to have the old pre Nike Bauer logo on them. Were these like a prerelease test pair or something? I have not seen another pair of one90s like this.

I dont have them in front of me but with the PRO97 being flatter, every thing is toned down. Definitely not as a open
-
Thanks. Is there less loft heel to mid-point? That's what I don't like about a P92, not the amount of curve.
-
Not that it matters, but out of curiosity, has anyone spotted NHLer's wearing these yet?
-
Quad +3 sounds a bit extreme.
-
I would say it’s flatter overall heel to toe, maybe only slightly from heel to midpoint. Lie is definitely lower.

Old post, but I figured I'd add my two cents for future internet searches. As a point of reference, for the past decade or so I'd mostly used a P88 with a P38 thrown in there for a bit. I would generally agree with flip's comments. An open heel throws me off. The PRO34 is relatively flat and the then there is a moderate curve and loft from the middle to toe. Those parts I really love. However, there is a pretty extreme rocker, which I don't like. And the toe shape is very pointy. Between the rocker and toe shape, it caused some issues for me. I would sometimes bumble pucks under the toe. I play old man hockey at this point and often do high flips to the neutral zone for the speedy young guns. I find I really need to focus on getting under the puck, or I'll just muffin the puck. Can anyone comment on how the PRO97 compares to the P92 as far as the curve from the heel to mid-point. Some angles it looks about the same and in others it looks a good bit flatter.

I used to play on really soft ice when I lived overseas, and now I am playing on really hard ice at a certain rink by me, and I can never remember my ROH anyway as I did not get my skates sharpened a lot when I played overseas on the soft ice. So I am kind of in the dark on my ROH. As far as the Mako steel, it was whatever came with the skates which I think was stainless. I am considering going with quad 0.5, +3 pitch on my next pair of runners for my Warrior skates to try to see if that will help me find my outside edge. My issue is that I never really learned to properly skate with all the technical stuff with where to put pressure, flexing the ankle and all that. I got into Makos and they forced me to do something that landed me with great edge control. So, Google Gemini tells me that to replicate that, I should go quad 0.5, +3 pitch. The ROH will be trial and error from here. Maybe 1/2 is too sharp.
-
I'm confused. Is the current setup with 1/2 too sharp or still not sharp enough ? Dlc coated steel generally will have more bite than regular stainless. Was ur old makos dlc steel or stainless? Diff skates create a diff edge feel. Some cause you to feel the edges a lot and every bump on the ice. I felt this way when first wearing trues over Bauer's. Like most with this transition, I had to go with a shallower hollow. Depending on the skates, steel, and ice conditions, over the past few years I've skates anywhere from 1/2 to 5/8 to get a similar feel.
-
It does look like they don't match up correctly. As for the old holes, often they're not sealed but they can be.
-
The holders don’t seem to be aligned correctly? The holders seem to be further away from the heel and toe on each skate. Also, aren’t the old holes supposed to be sealed?

yeah its definitely confusing, particularly when explaining it to others. Not sure how many times people have asked me where i got my stick, and they are like "oh i ordered some gloves from there before" or something similar. Having your name as a descriptor of an item was a choice. Pretty excited to see their new offerings.
-
yeah, the retailer i took mine to just exchanged the visor for me and gave me a gift card for the remainder, which is good because i wanted another FV1 anyways, and i was about a week away from just putting the visor on sideline swap when they announced the recall.
-
I did the quads 2 profile, +2 pitch, and 1/2 ROH. I am still skidding a bit, not as bad as before, but nowhere near as good as I had it in the old Makos. The interesting thing is that when I just do a basic turn (no crossover) it is way sharper. And it is so sharp that my mind is not used to getting to where I want to get to so quickly, that the quick turn did not even help me when I used the skates the on time since I got them sorted out. I will get used to it, and hopefully my mind will stay up to date on where I am going. So yea not totally fixed yet but there is hope.

Hey man, how did the profiling work out? Did it fix your skidding out issues? I just picked up a pair of these. Sure enough, exact same issue as you. I also skate with a 1/2. I’ve never had this happen before, but I took my first three steps onto the ice and just leaned into one edge and fell.. Blew my mind. I continued skating and didn’t fall per say, but any time I leaned into an edge with about half as much energy as I normally would with my Trues, I could feel them going out from underneath me. I also normally skate with a quad… I’m not nervous that this purchase was a mistake… yet… 😅

UPDATE: CCM and all the other retailers I purchased HVR products from have been great and very easy to work with. All have offered full refunds if you don't want any of the exchange products offered.
-
No, thats not confusing at all... https://www.prostockhockey.com/ https://prostockhockeysticks.com/ Both sites come up when you Google prostockhockey sticks. Anyway, I'm hoping the Oynx will come with a slightly softer blade and offer the BigBenn pattern without a custom order.
-
But now they’re EVERYWHERE. Every retailer seems to offer new or used pro stock sticks and the term is definitely more mainstream than it was 10+ years ago. Then there’s my SEO comment about how generic ‘pro stock hockey sticks’ is if you simply typed it in google. Results inevitably return every single manufacturer’s pro stock sticks out there. If you’re a business and you’re trying to maximize online marketing spend, you would want better name recognition for your product so it doesn’t populate competitive results
-
I personally don’t find pshs confusing. Not sure about over people.
-
Pro stock sticks have been popular for over 20 years
-
I think you're right. It look like that to me as well anyway. Let's hope they release these in different color ways. A Kings set would be perfect to replace my Kovalchuk return QRLs.
