Kor Shift 1 Background - 5'9 152 Introduction - I had skated in the Bauer Vapor xx's for around a year before switchin over to the Kors. They should fit most foot types considering they are almost full heat moldable. Fit - These fit amazingly better than than the Vapor XX's. They are almost fully heat moldable which allows the boot to form to your foot very nicely. Another added on feature is the neoprene liner in the toe cap which feels extremely nice on your foot. 10/10 Blade/Holder - The Kors come with the Mission Pitch 3 holder. This is definetly one of the best holder on the market. Coming from the Lightspeeds i didn't notice much of a difference. One of the nice thing is that the missions have very good steel and hold an edge for a long time. 10/10 Weight - I honestly did not notice a difference between these and the Vapor XX's. There a relatively light skate and even if they were mor eon the heavy side the fit would definetly make up for it. 9/10 Protection - As a result of the carbon fibre boot these skates arre extremely protective. I have taken quite a few shot off the boot and barely felt a thing. They are alot more protective than the vapor XX's. 10/10 Durability - I have been using these skates for about 4 months now and notice no breaking down of the boot. They still look almost brand new and i can't see they breaking down anytime in the near future. My vapors broke down in around 3 months and in my opinion these thing will be stiff as the day i bought them long after i have passed away of old age. 10/10 Conclusion - After 4 months of using thse skates I am convinced there isn't a better skate on the market. You can turn on a dime in them at very high speeds and there by far the most comfortable skate I have ever worn. I usually get a new pair of skates every yar but i see no need to switch out of thse for a long time. I recommend anyone who has the chance to try these on give them a chance. Once there on your foot and baked i'm sure you'll fall in love with them. Overall 10/10

Product: Synergy SL/ Drury (P6)/ 85 Flex/ Left handed Backround: 5'9 146lbs. 13 years of hockey, 15 years old, Lw Other sticks used : TPS xn10, Tps Response Plus, Tps Response, Grip lite, Z-bubble, Z-bubble grip, Mission M1 Vector 110, Ultra lite Blade: This was my first time using the drury curve and i absolutely loved it. I found the blade to be quite week and found a crack in it about 3 weeks into hockey season. 5/10 for poor durablility. Flex: The 85 flex was perfect for me and i will be using this for a very longer time 10/10 Stickhandling/reciveing passes: The stick really did very well for me in this category. While the stick lasted I could recive passes better than some of my other OPS. 10/10 Shooting: The second best stick i have used for shooting next to the xn10. I could really fire rockets with this and the drury pattern worked very well for me with snapshots and slapshots.9/10 because i felt i shot better with my xn10. Weight and balance: The stick is amazing in this category. I could barely tell any difference coming from my xn10. 10/10 Durabality: THis is where the stick fell apart for me. It lasted me exactly a month and 6 days. This is extremely disapointing considering how much i liked this stick. The stick ended up breaking just below the fuse point. Another problem was how horribly the paint chipped. Its a minor detail but i wasn't impressed. 3/10 Conclusion: This was a very good stick for me untell it broke. I will probably be getting another one and am crossing my fingers for better durability. Overall Grade 6/10: Overall the stick was one of the best i have ever used. If it had lasted me longer it would definetly be about a 9/10.

UPDATE: Got a pair of Kor Shift 1's and a Synergy Sl.
