I don't have any insight to add, but I hope that your surgeries go well and that you have a smooth recovery.

What part of Pennsylvania? I may be able to connect you with some people.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I couldn't agree more with points 1 and 3. I neglected to mention that all our blades are precision laser cut and come with 9-10 contour out of the box. All blades identically matching. If you have a minute please visit our instagram page. I provide more detailed specifics on the effects of weight savings. We bench marked our design to be better than Step and Tydan,which I feel are excellent products. My goal is to provide the best blade on the market at a fair price. The Colors are simply cosmetic and provide an option for those who may want something different. We will also be working with organizations during fundraising for events such as pink in the rink.

Thanks JS I believe your 2nd last sentence there should read 'every one of these models with the 280 holder'. Thanks for the definitive, thread closing feedback! This is all the info anyone moving from the original Jetspeeds to the current lineup needs to know w.r.t sizing. My oldest son had his first skate last night in his new 9D Jetspeed Control skates (custom Source for Sports SKU - FT380 boot with upgraded Composite outsole w/vent from the FT390 and upgraded tongue from the FT1, and +2mm Speedblade Stainless). I've had the opportunity to compare these skates side by side with a pair of X900 gen II that I bought for him at first when he couldn't seem to find a good fit in the new FT1 line (the sizing change threw us for a loop!). He tried 4 or 5 hours on the ice with the X900s but just couldn't get the feel he wanted coming from the old Jetspeeds. The Control skate at $499 MSRP (Canada) is a better built skate vs. the $799 X900. I wasn't impressed with the X900 holders (one is mounted crooked vs. the other, visibly noticeable), and the rear of one of the boots has a small puncture hole already after just a few hours use, not even real game action. He got a full (intense) season last year from his Jetspeeds without any structural damage to the boot - it was the eyelets that gave out. The Control even weighs in a bit less @ 861g with Stepsteel installed vs. 867g for the X900 with stock LS3. Now to just figure out how to prevent the CCM embossed eyelets from corroding on him - we're going to adjust our maintenance routine to see if we can avoid the corrosion and eventual failure of the eyelets that we saw on both previous pairs of Jetspeeds he's owned. Thanks again! colins

Just won our D5 championship 6-4! First season playing up in D5. Team gave me the 'player of the game' belt, too!
