I wear a Large 580. I tried a Large Profile II and it was a little too short. The chin cup covered my mouth. I am not really a weight weenie just think since the 150 is so light compared to the 4500 a titanium black 580 would be a nice touch.

Went for a skate with the speed plates on. Felt so diff than the genetix insoles in a good way. I felt so much more connected with the ice vs the super cushion feeling. Ankles didn't rub while skating but could feel it slightly only while walking. Going to accept it as is since it's not causing pain and no issues while on the ice. I did however had to use a thing piece of Eva foam like how the original trues had the red two insole system to decrease some volume since the skates were made for the super thick genetix insoles. I did also pin down the rubbing to the edge of the to gue landing pretty much in the inside ankle pocket. I compared the foam on the inside ankle pocket of the cat pro to my tf customs and the tf customs foam had a broader inside ankle pocket and a precise smaller outside ankle pocket vs the cat pro which had a small precise inside and outside ankle pocket. The small foam pocket of the cat prob is also attributing to less leeway and room for the tongue to freely slide which causes more friction in my inside ankles. I'm debating on whether to cut that portion off the side of the tongue like how ccm does with their metatomic tongues but will prob only do it if it starts aggravating my ankle. I rather do that than essentially pushing/punching out the inside ankle pocket to create more room. Overall I think I would've spent the extra 200 on the svh customs after experiencing the cat pros. The boot being a pre made shells really has its limitations on terms of wrap and overall shape. Also, the carbon and materials that the cat boot is made with are different than the svh customs and aren't as malleable. Yes they get super soft during the bake but they actually don't confirm as well as the svh/tf customs. Hope my experience helps those out there who may experience similar problems.

I did contact them and they are going to double check themselves and compare the stick I got to other brands to see how off it is. This one isn't form prostock hockey. The ones that are are, I believe are the "custom" pro blackout that are available in pro curves. Warrior and sher wood I recall being on the stiffer side as well but this was even stiffer.

the HSM Blackouts aren't good, but the Prostockhockeystick ones HSM sells are good. Don't think you can get the Benn pro in that model though.

AS3.

Most of the customers/players I know who got them said they are decent, but have swapped to other skates or switched back to their previous skate. I tested them and they seem ok. Nothing special or significant stood out to me. Positives: Updated lacing system allow for more forward flex Updated liner and foams are nicer than previous generations Negatives: Carbon Curv doesn't seem durable, many of the Hyperlite skates that come into the shop are in bad shape. Updated tongue has a very stiff insert that many people find uncomfortable Carbonlite runner (optional) is trash. Stay away from it. Neutal: Updated outsole is supposed to allow more flexion and torsional flex. I did not notice this when testing them. Skate is supposedly lighter than previous generations. While it does weigh less than the 2X Pro, its heavier than the 1X. We are talking about a very small margin, so that that with a grain of salt.
