Just sketched this up. Nothing revolutionary, but it's pretty true to the original.

Howdy, Reading the descriptions and a few reviews, the Starks sound like exactly what we're after... Price wasn't bad either. Ordered a pair. We'll see! Thanks for the pointer! Mark

It can be a lot of different things, maybe even a bit of all of it. During Covid, there was still public skating but nothing else, so did a lot of skating work. But when I started to play with gear on again, a lot of the strides in technique I made didn't immediately transfer over to game situations. For me, it was being less restricted and lighter without the gear that was causing the disconnect. One of the things I did was to wear a 12lb weight belt when I was at stick and puck and public skating. This was to simulate the weight of the gear. It's not perfect, but once I started doing that, things started to translate into games more. Still work to do, but I'm seeing results.

Happy to help! I was actually sitting and doing some design sketches when I came across this topic.

Yes, it doesn't seem to be a big update. Similar to 2X Pro → Hyperlite update.

Thanks boys - very helpful! Great sketch Flip12- mine looked like a serial killer tried to draw.

Thanks all, I’ve been learning four years, and this seems recent. This evening I was at a different rink, I was fine. All I did different was tie my laces with tongues flopped, then tuck them in. I also went to a deeper hollow, from 7/16” to 3/8” which I really like. I am starting to suspect the ice is the issue, it’s really bad ice at my local rink, goalies slide backwards due to the slope, there’s a 3” water filled rut around one edge which is quite dangerous. A team mate who used to be the ice maintenance engineer said it was very brittle last Friday. The slopes might also be to blame. I’m back there on Wednesday.

I agree with IPv6Freely. I work in Adobe Illustrator all day long, but unfortunately I don't have the time right now for any side stuff.

Appreciate it! Anyone else?
