Has anyone tried increasing the pitch on a Quad profile?
Zuperior M vs. Quad 1 – Thoughts on Pitch and Performance I love the explosive first step I get with the Zuperior M due to its increased pitch—it really helps with acceleration. However, at times, it feels like I’m gliding on skis, which can be a bit unsettling. That said, the speed and quick starts are excellent. The Quad 1 has a more neutral pitch, making it well-balanced for most situations. However, I feel like my first step lacks that extra pop. If I want to accelerate quickly, I
Any experience with Bauer "Pro Series" shoulderpads?
My U15 sons have grown out of their current shoulder pads (Supreme GS) and have begrudgingly admitted that it's time to move on. We're having quite the time figuring out what's next. Being in the Netherlands, it's tough to go to one spot and have a good selection of higher end pads to compare/contrast and try-on. We honestly haven't been very impressed with the Mach or XF Pro... the Hyperlites seem okay? I know lightweight is the way forward (right?) but these pads don't seem to offer much p
Blackstone Flat-Bottom V Thread
I know we have been hinting at this for a few months now, but it is finalized and ready for pre-order. http://www.portableskatesharpener.com/ Two machines - one designated for "home" usage and the other for "team" usage. The X02 has a more robust motor for volume sharpenings, but the X01 will fit the bill perfectly for those who were considering a Wissota or something along those lines. Once I get a steady paycheck, I'm getting an X02 - things are going to be VERY interesting with Spinner and I
Buying gloves online, looking for some feedback
I'm in desperate need of some new gloves for myself! I coach my son's U12 team and play pickup when I can, so I don't need anything too crazy. Looking at 14" on clearance, buying sight unseen is tough w/o being able to try them on for feel, I was hoping to get some forum feedback before I decide. I've narrowed down to any of the True Catalyst (9X3, 7X3, 5X3, and XS3), Warrior Covert QR5 20, and Sherwood Code TMP 1. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
Custom Glove Gallery
I know we are all glove freaks around here, so lets start a thread showing off all the custom gloves here. I'm curious to know what everyone wears and how they like their gloves. It could also help some people decide what they want to drop money on as these things surely are not cheap. It would be nice to show pictures as well as what is custom about the glove. I'll start with mine, and thanks in advanced for all the replies.

Trouble with quad 0 profile
Hey I’m just looking for advice on the quad zero profile. I was using ccm rbz size 8 skates with 272 runners for the last 9 years and I looked and realized that they have a banana blade with a lot of heel shaved off. I needed new skates so got supreme m5 pro skates (size 8.5 272 runners) I decided to get them profiled to a quad zero with a 5/8 hollow and I find that I get good glide and straight line speed and even turning is nice with them but when I start to cross over I feel very s
Adjusting pivot point back to neutral
I've seen several posts regarding adjusting the pivot point on the AS2001 to compensate for pitched profiles if refreshing a profile. What happens if you want to adjust the pivot point back to neutral? Would there not also need to be an adjustment that needs to be made if returning the runner to a neutral pivot point?
Liking Quad 2 but looking for some tweaks
So some of you maybe saw my recent skate fitment journey. Had my new Vapor skates profiled with quad 2, 11/16 roh, just like my previous Ribcors overall I like this profile but I’d like maybe a little more grip/bite/explosion and more agility (had difficulties to initiate quick turns tonight). i don’t mind losing some glide since I find quad 2 has plenty of it. Quad 2 feel light and smooth but id like maybe a tiny more heavy feeling. should I stay with quad 2 and focus more on s
Bauer’s Factory Profile
I read the Bauer’s factory profile is set at what I am assuming is a Quad Zero due to the radio (6ft-9ft-11ft-13ft) out of the box. Pro Sharp lists this as a size 7-8 skate. Does this mean that if one has a junior size 1-2, the Bauer factory profile would be a Quad 3XS (4ft-5ft-7ft-10ft)? I have new Step Steel Blacksteel and want to possibly profile them with a Quad 3XS for my squirt. I’d like him to skate in the profile prior and if the Bauer factory profile matches Pro Sharp’s Quad profiling,

Bauer Proto-R
Height: 5’10” Weight: 150 lbs Shoots: Left I've been playing hockey since I was 7 with roller and started ice when I was 11. I've played as high as midget AAA but was a career AA player at best, along with high school varsity hockey in New Jersey. I've used many sticks throughout my time on the ice. To give you an idea of what I have to compare the Proto-R to, I've used: Nike Bauer Vapor XXX Lite TPS Response R8 RBK 7K SicKick Easton Synergy SL Ea

CCM XF Pro Shin Guard
Height - 6'3" Weight - 240 lbs Pad size - 15 inch Level of play: B/C Level Location: Massachusetts Fit - 10/10 I was looking for a pad that wasn’t as bulky as the old reeboks and jofa pads. In the past I’ve used the Supreme One90 shin guard and the Nexus 8000 shin guard. I was looking for a pad that was in between both those fit profiles and the xf pro fit that criteria for me My leg fits properly in the shin channel and
CCM SuperTacks AS-V Pro Total Custom Skates
I have worn a bunch of True skates in the past, and these ones have been my favourite so far and by far the best for durability. Very impressed with these once I dialed in the fit.

Bauer Re-Akt 200
I've been wearing this helmet for the past year and have found it to be very comfortable once adjusted.i'm getting older and I wanted something that offered protection. I just happened to be run into by a player on another team who is a good 75lbs larger then me. Needless to say we both went down and I hit the back of my head pretty hard. I basically ended up with a sore neck; never felt anything to the back of my head, never lost consciousness or headache, virtually no signs of concussion. I fe
