A tight fitting, stiff skate gives you more bite, I made the same experience with my trues. It will take you at least 10h on the ice to adjust to such a major change. Go to a shallower hollow(3/4") and have fun with your new skates. I didn't like the stock profile and made a very good experience with an unmodified Quad XS profile on my 254mm 6.5 TF7, excellent agility and good stability.

Can we talk about the person walking around in public wearing their adult league jersey and adidas track pants? Is Korn headlining Let’s Play Hockey this year?

Thoughts? Get what you usually use...

It looks like an awful mix of a Canadian Tire exclusive youth jetspeed and the old 7K Sickick. Can't see the thought process or appeal behind it especially after the nice, simple looks of the 3 pro and 4 pro.

Maybe it’s the angle/reflection but those graphics look terrible compared to the previous gens IMO

Went from custom CCM Trigger 2's and ordered a single Redline 375g (P14/70 flex). It broke in the blade after ~4 months of playing 2-3 times a week, but honestly thought it would break sooner with how whacks it took. Balance and weight feels great, and shoots with a real nice kick. It took about a game or two to get used to it but after that, the Trigger 2's felt like relics, so I'm pretty happy with them. Placed an order for 5 sticks last week, pretty excited to get them. I've been using a 2S Pro while I wait, and it's okay, but I think the price:value ratio is much better with PSH so I think I'll be sticking to these for a while.

I think @Sniper9 means "can" in that last sentence. I'd probably look at profiling your blades before swapping hardware or adding shims. To echo his statement - I switched from my standard 5/8" hollow to enjoying a 7/8" hollow on my Trues. Happened to be the wheel my buddy had in his machine, so I figured why not give it a try. Skated on it twice so far and still adjusting, but am liking the lack of bite. Will probably stick with it. The Trues definitely bite harder. My nephew who is in custom Trues has moved to a 1 3/8" hollow and loves it.

You can put the 263 if you want. Any reputable hockey shop should be able to. It's always been recommended to go a hollow less with trues bc of the feeling of increased bite. This probably has more to do with the responsiveness of the skate than anything. You can change the pitch or the skate by profiling or shims or swapping holders back to what you're used to.

Got my first redline 375 (70f kane pro) in August, used it all season so far at least twice a week. Aside from chips to the finish it's in great shape. Playing mid-level beer league as a centerman, lots of faceoffs. Like it enough I've bought a pack of them and stopped using the custom CCMs I was on.
