I took a chance on Prostockhockeysticks in summer 2021 and haven't looked back. Two key reasons: Seems like stick prices keep going up every year at retail No more Bauer P14 or similar at retail Coming from custom CCM Trigger 2s, I was super happy with how the first stick played. I'd even go as far as saying it had a little more pop in the shots than the Trigger so I went ahead and ordered 5, and recently went in on another order of 10 since it gets cheaper the more you buy. Value-wise, if I order 5, I can get two for the price of one top end retail. You also don't need to order 5 of the same, which is nice. If anyone's curious this is my config: RH P14, 70 Flex Red Line 375G (also ordered a 350g which I haven't tried yet) Rounded Square Low Kick Grip with Basketball texture Z-tac blade finish For what it's worth, the last high end retails I used were the 1X Lite, 2S, Trigger 2, and Jetspeed and it plays better than all of them IMO.

They also have a TC5 which I can't seem to find any info on

Went from custom CCM Trigger 2's and ordered a single Redline 375g (P14/70 flex). It broke in the blade after ~4 months of playing 2-3 times a week, but honestly thought it would break sooner with how whacks it took. Balance and weight feels great, and shoots with a real nice kick. It took about a game or two to get used to it but after that, the Trigger 2's felt like relics, so I'm pretty happy with them. Placed an order for 5 sticks last week, pretty excited to get them. I've been using a 2S Pro while I wait, and it's okay, but I think the price:value ratio is much better with PSH so I think I'll be sticking to these for a while.

From Canucks Insta. New Vapor stick?

Really happy with how these turned out

sorry, should've mentioned the 55" marking on the shaft but this has been sold, forgot to update that!

Sold. Thought this would be somewhat similar to the Bauer P14 but I can't get used to it. Used it twice in warmups and played maybe half a game with it. Great condition, a couple of scuffs but no cracks or chips. Cut to around 55". Price: $140US shipped

Got these skates a couple years ago and noticed something funny going out with my outsole when I got a sharpening. Looks like the outsole is cracking and starting to separate from the boot. Not really impressed with the quality of Bauer's products these days, 1X Lite, 1S stick, now these skates. Coming from One95s, which I had for a good 7 years, to these, starting to really turn me off from Bauer. I've been mostly away from around here / gear industry for a while so I'm not completely up to date on what's happening these days. Is this a pretty common issue with the 1X skates and can anything be done to repair or are these fubar?

The toe split open. The blade itself is amazing.

Broke mine in around 6 games. Took a slash on the bottom of the stick and it snapped in the top 1/3 of my stick. It's light which is nice but it felt unbalanced in how light the bottom of the stick + blade was. All it did was essentially take away from puck feel and I had a tough time controlling the puck with the stick. Regular 1x was so much better and I definitely wouldn't grab another one. I've switched to 1S since but the toe on that busted within 4 games. The only thing really holding me to Bauer right now is the P14 curve but I'm at the point where I'm willing to take a flyer on another brand. I'm thinking it's the perfect time to jump ship to CCM when the new Jetspeed comes out... Hopefully the Parise is similar enough..

Played last night with the inserts in 1X skates without the shim and Superfeet carbon insoles. My main concern was that I'd get a cramping feeling in my toes from having the insert straighten my toes out but nothing like that, pretty comfortable, though I can still curl my toes just fine. Didn't really notice a difference so will need to try with the shims.

my main issue with the speed plates is the arch piece, it digs right into my arches and kills everytime i take a turn so i end up reverting to superfeet carbons.. too bad because the on-ice feel of the speed plates are unbelievable.. has anybody run into the arch-digging problem and found a solution? i've tried re-baking them a few times to try and flatten the arch as much as i could but no luck there

good to know thanks! what temperature did you guys heat the oven to?

can the speedplates be baked at home?
