First skate was a pretty fast private pickup and I scored 7 goals... give me lack of R&D and speed skating tech from now on, please ;)

Glad to hear you were able to overcome the lack of R&D and all that speed skating tech to make them work...

I don't know why here in Finland local stores want to get rid of Warrior QRLs but I don't mind. Last week snatched a QRL Pro about 33% off retail price and this week I ordered the throwback QRL Super Mac Daddy for over 50% off the retail price. I'm very tempted to order another one of the latter since they still had them in stock today. I can't even normally get a QRL4 at that price :D

@Skate Mod I'm always interested in the opinions of others, as I believe that's how we learn and make progress. I am a little confused by your post though, as I've interpreted your comments to be, Graf was inferior because they were too soft and low cut....Bauer is superior for hockey because they are stiff and high cut. That in itself is fine, (though I would not agree). What confuses me is you offering solutions (H-cut, etc.) which seem to only serve to bring the performance of the stiff boot back closer to that of the softer boot.

Hey @Skate Mod I read you’re manifesto, I mean website...gotta say some real great info, other stuff, a little head scratching. I need to give it another tons of info! I’m with @oldtrainerguy28 and am kind of curious of your background here. Biomechanics phd? Former R&D at one of the big companies? Pro skate rep? My post count or 23 second of a men’s league shift where I can actually skate halfway decent don’t make me an expert, but I’m of a mindset where I’ll trust someone based on their background, etc. I’ve been around the block a little and your site is fascinating, but I’ve never seen anyone skating with a ‘H’ notched out of their boot. That said, I’m curious to know more and hear some more info from you.
