I don’t get it: underneath this booth is the same XS holder, and the pitch of the holder is the same across all CCM skates. With the boot sitting right on top of the holder wouldn’t it set the “heel to toe offset” the same as other CCM boots?

left to right. P92, Pro97, Easton Iginla - not the best angle on the Easton.

No. Same size as the senior Iginla (little longer) with a lower lie.

I use the PRO97 mostly because of the 4 lie, so that's another factor to consider.

P28's my favorite retail curve at present as well, but it really comes down to personal preference. The P28's aggressive toe rocker and loft give a lot of people trouble, causing puck flutter, and sending shots high, respectively. Both of those pain points are even worse coming from P88, as it has the flattest toe rocker and least loft of the commonly available blades. It could be a few years before P86 becomes mainstream, but it would be a safer bet than P28 for anyone coming from P88.

Having read more on this and having looked at the skates in person it definitely doesn’t look like Vizion is the new Tacks. It’s new 100k. they are less stiff than tacks, and have less padding. McKinnon switched from 100k to Vizion. The toe cup is padded, overall skates feel very nice! $1500 CDN is a lot of money for the retail skate. and the shim is 6mm - massive!

Crazy. I know Coast2Coast has taken over development of the Fizix frames for a couple years now and they are slowly chipping away at that. I honestly didn't realize that Keith was in his 80s. He was tremendously dedicated to this project and roller hockey in general.

Man, first Per from Marsblade and now Keith from Sprung. Hope both companies can continue forward for both of their legacies to live on

ProStockHockeySticks is a good option if you don't want to switch from the pattern you know.

Alternatively you could delay going to a curve boot even longer by trying to source the Pro Stock Bauer V Cut skates https://www.sighockey.com/collections/player-skates/products/bauer-vapor-2x-pro-v-cut-hockey-skates-9-d-a-280-ls-fly-ti
