Given all of the problems I have seen with people ordering custom skates over the years, it's laughable how wrong your comment is. "Custom" is great for padding the ego and about the 5% of people that actually need it.

I put these together yesterday. Not sure if I'm really feeling the chest piece. I'll add suspender buttons to my pant shell to keep them in place.

I haven't tried on Tacks or Jetspeeds (nor the even bigger Nexus or RBZ) but I have put just about everything else on my foot that's come out in the past 2 years. Mako is in my opinion, the most anatomical fitting toebox around. A normal Bauer toebox say on the Vapor, is that classic U shape. Look down at your foot. Notice anything? Like, how your toes don't form a U shape? Yeah, that's why the Mako toebox is better. It's actually shaped like a real foot. And it took how long for somebody to think of that??? Yeeesh. Optimus, you must have an interesting foot to have the Mako toebox in D width feel sloppy (one of the lowest volume boots in my book). I'm glad your VH's fit well though. I just didn't trust roughly $1000 bucks on a stencil and photo of my foot.

ZUUUUUUUCCCCC!!!!

Drop-in hockey today: Three goalies showed up YET AGAIN, though probably next week is when the goalie count will go back down to two or one goalie. Donnie McDangles scored a hat trick on me today, but then got nothing else behind me today. In all, I think I even had fingers left counting goals against; of course if I would have played the whole hour and a half, my goal count would have gone UP UP UP!!!! None the less, I tried to smother moving pucks with my glove and it didn't happen. At least they didn't result in goals :) Glove is still a bit stiff, though I did make a few juicy glove saves. In the end, I saw slight improvement in my play today. By no means I am in any danger of taking any NHL goaler's job away from them.

Tomas Holmstrom would wear those proudly JR!

Got a couple of TRUE Hockey sticks I am using. Maybe the best sticks I have used in my 30 some years on the ice. XCore 9 also shooting the A5.2 after comparing it to an old Mission Fuel.

I made a couple upgrades.
