3S Pro has first generation Curv and the Ultrasonic has second generation Curv (Carbon Curv). Carbon Curv is stiffer. The tongue on the Ultrasonic is much better than what was on the 2S Pro. Not as stiff and flexes nicely. The tongue on the 3S Pro is somewhat close to that of a traditional Supreme felt and IMO makes the 3S Pro close to the feel of what the 1S was. How long a skate lasts depends on several factors such as skaters weight, how often they skate, and how well they take care of their skates. My 2 year old 2S Pros were structurally just as stiff after 2 years of use skating 5 times/week. Disclaimer: I remove the footbeds and dry them on a boot dryer after every skate.

So I just got on the ice for the first time with an Ellipse 1. I found @kkskate while searching online for someone nearby to do an Ellipse for me and want to second everything @SkateWorksPNW had to say about the stellar customer service I received from him. I've had my goalie skates profiled for many years now but rarely skate out so have never bothered with doing my player skates. However, i just bought a pair of True TF9s and really felt like I wasn't happy with how the steel felt compared to my old CCM RBZs. So, with all the chatter around Ellipse I decided to give it a whirl. After several emails back and forth I settled on an Ellipse 1 with only 10 degrees of forward pitch to try to offset the feeling of being pitched too far forward on the True skates. Now that the blades are profiled I'm much happier with them than before. I can't match SWPNW's experience with various profiles but I can definitely say that the E1 is a significant improvement over the stock profile. When it's time to re-profile I may try the E0 for some extra agility but I'm sold on the Ellipse line!

CCM already had the flag design last year.

Bingo. FWIW, I have been trying to explain this situation to TRUE but they still insist that their skate sizing is correct as is the matching of holder size to skate size. Sigh.
