Hello - was wondering if anyone has had a chance to try these skates? Any feedback back would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance

Right. Ooops - I meant to say more similar feel to the Hyperlite than* to the sync.

Puck feel is great in my opinion - I’d say most Similar feel to the sync which makes sense. I actually just got a white out version and used it for the first time couple days ago. With the white paint it makes the stick a tad bit heavier but in a great way. With the stick being very well balanced to start - the extra weight gives it the perfect feel for me - would guess it to be around the 370-375g mark. Also the blade on the white out doesn’t have the usual textured finish (just smooth white paint) which adds to the already good puck feel in my opinion.

Blade has been good. Just the usual cosmetic marks here and there but it’s holding up pretty good so far. IMO it feels like this Proto R blade is a bit stiffer than the 1X lite.

Generally durability has been better than the Ag5nt for me. I am on my second Proto-R but the first broke because it got in the way of a howitzer of a clapper that would have broken any composite stick out there. really like this stick. Doesn’t shoot as hard as the FT6 PRO IMO but overall it’s been great including durability (for an elite end stick).

Thank you! think I will switch out to the smaller runners.

Hello All, for those that work in a hockey shop - I have a pair or OG Hyperlite skates in size 8.5 fit 3 which came with size 280 Tuuk holders. However, I noticed that In all previous Bauer models (both lines) size 8.5 skates have size 272 holders. first question: did Bauer actually increase the size of the boot for example: a size 8.5 Hyperlite skate is actually bigger than a size 8.5 older model Bauer skate? second question: would there be any consequences to flipping out the size 280 holders and putting in a pair of 272? many thanks in advance!

For me: - Elbows, Shins CCM (Jetspeed line) - Bauer Vapor line pants (1X Lite) - Bauer reakt 150 bucket - skates are 100% Bauer - gloves are the Bauer Vapor line (1X Lites) - stick is the Bauer Vapor line (Hyperlite) - shouldies are the classic sher-wood 5030’s … Great for beer leagues!

Thanks everybody really appreciate the insights! So it turns out that these tongues are only specifically for the Tacks line of 2020. From 2021 onward they use the current tongues!

Thanks - yes very strange. I just returned the tongues. This is a mystery no one seems to know right now! It’s time for new skates anyway, so maybe good excuse to buy!

Yea I saw that sizing table and bought a large size as I wear 8.5 senior skates. it’s really weird and I don’t understand how wide these clips are …. It’s not even close! It like they were made for a different skate altogether….I’d upload some pix but don’t know how to on this….

Hi All, Apologies in advance if there is a topic on this already - but I need some help in getting an explanation on these CCM XS Tongues. So I have a pair of Jetspeed FT4PRO skates and want flip out the stock tongue for a thicker one. I bought a pair of these CCM XS replacement tongues and find that the clips on the tongue (where it attaches to the boot) are way wider than the insert holes on the boot so it won’t fit …..is the distance between each insert hole not standard across CCM skates with this replaceable tongue feature? Is there a specific XS tongue that will fit FT4PRO skates?

Possibly something built off of those Od1n holders we saw a while back?

I was curious to see if this stick would be too light - I guess it’s balanced out right? Also how’s the flex on the stick? Read somewhere that the new material makes it play stiffer than the rating ….

The Novium Pro model looks to be 360g. I think the previous post showing 415g is likely a lower model - maybe the 2nd price point…

Does anyone know when this Novium Pro is actually going to be released?

I don’t have an FT5 PRO but have the FT4PRO. If you are wondering about puck feel vs. FT3PRO (I felt same way about the puck feel on the 3) then the 4 has much better feel. So if the 5 carried the blade of the 4 over then the feel will be much better imo. Don’t have the hzrdus either but I think it’d be too light 375-390 is the sweet spot for me. I haven’t heard that there is a mid kick version either

I just saw the twitter feed for this. Very interesting. I really liked the Dynasty HD1.

The team at Dukes are First Class amazing. I moved a distance away but still drive over to get the wheels sharpened. No one does it better imo.

Based on some non-validated internet rumblings - maybe it could be?

Yep definitely and FT4PRO.

I have zero clue on what that pro stock code means, but it could possibly be an older CCM model dressed as a FT4 PRO…..

Only If they left the final aesthetics as seen in this picture

The next Supreme prototype wheels?

Slingtech would be hole in the blade that the nexus adv had. Wondering if this Bauer Sling stick is just a refresh of the nexus adv (nexus adv2) or if this is a different family of sticks (read somewhere online) which if it is a separate line - very curious to see what the other specifications/tech/features are ie: shaft shape, kick point etc…
