Saw a couple posts on Reddit that the FT6 skates were coming out this month. Anybody able to confirm? somebody posted this morning that they had their hands on a pair, but the post was deleted quickly for some reason.

yup, selling price depends on how bad somebody wants them. Make an off if its too high. Worst they can say is no. Just don't low ball them

They all have to post the same full original retail price as per their MAP pricing agreements with the manufacturer, Since the 1s was top model, $949.99 new for senior skates in 2017 is what i found. Intermediates were maybe $150 less or so new, so $750 or so. I'd say $300-400 for new old stock than if I were interested them from SLS or ebay

hmmmmmm, i just I did a quick google search and pure hookcey had them for $649.99, but that might have been clearance price. Other sites are showing closer to $949.99 new. Was there a 1s pro or was the 1s the top model skate? If 1s was the top model skate, than it would have been closer to $950 new.

So they were $650 new five years ago......... Id say $300-375 depending on how bad somebody wants them.

I'd be curious to know if it happened on both skates or just one. If just one, perhaps that one was left in the oven ( even if it was now off and cooling down, but still hot in there ) too long while he was lacing up the first skate and this is the result of an over baked skated and pulling way too hard on the laces when this second one came out of the oven last. For reference, I took some advice on here and baked my 100K Pro CCM's at home. Did it a couple times spread out over a few days at 180 or so in my oven for 4.5 minutes. Pulled on the laces in an outward direction ( not upward ) at maybe 50% my normal tightness and sat on the couch for 15 min to let them cool ( I did not walk in them at all ). I've now had my skates for over 3 months, skating twice a week as a decent men's league skater at 6'4 230 lbs and my eyelets look all but perfect. I know some guys can really put a beating on their skates depending on their skating style, size and other issues like you mentioned, but i don't think we've seen anybody come on here and have an issue like this with the new ccm skates and their one piece design.

new or used.......if used, how used?

Take a look at eyelet 4 and 8 in the picture.......they too have shifted. I'm leaning toward boot too warm and over tightened or played in while to warm. Did eyelet #1 shift and snap? and #2 just shifted?

There's still a solid round tubular core to a grommet or eyelet rivet. Basically you are sliding a round tube into a hole and then mashing the other end to hold it tight and in place......nowhere for the rivet to go unless the underlying material around the rivet is compromised in some way, no? My guess is that these were over tightened right after baking ( unless it was stated otherwise earlier in the thread ) and or a lot of force was applied to the eyelet's and composite material while still warm and or skated in hard while still warm.

Have 100k Pro skates here and did a tongue swap for the thicker ones and they fit perfectly. Something is either up with the tongues you purchased or the toe cap. Since the tongues come loose in a box, i wonder if the tongues in the box you were sent were packaged wrong or put into the incorrect box ( by ccm or a customer )

I am not sure if they are still making them, but I also started a thread about these a few months ago. Somebody who seemed to know a lot about them chimed in and said they are now wrapped as Jetspeeds.......and I have seen them on SLS as jetspeesd team sticks. Take a another search and use jetseepd team or something like that as your search criteria.

Those stones are ok to use on coated black steel runners?

ooof......clicking would bother me and my ocd. Glad to hear they seem to work well though

what kind of holder / skate do you use and were you serious about the clicking?

I'm one of those guys who likes to skate with the top eyelet un-used as well as flopping my tongue. However, I feel like I would benefit with just a touch more of the very upper part of my skate being pulled in closer ( ie if i were to use the top eyelet ).....but even when I use the top eyelet and do it loose, I don't like the restricted feel of it. Would putting some tape around the top of the skate help pull in the upper sides and give me the ankle movement I like. Seems like it might......

I don't think you can compare as the newest fit system is all new with the Tacks line for 2022 and will be the same on the FT6 Jetspeeds that will be released later this year. For me, I recently purchased multiple pairs of each in various widths and sizes for both the 100k's and AS-V Pros. Settled on the 100K pro's in regular ( my foot is on the wide side of a standard D width, almost putting me into a wide depending on brand of shoes and skates ), however, had I chosen the AS-V Pros, i'd have been a tapered fit without a doubt. Crazy how the fits are all over the map.....

Only YOUR feet will be able to answer that. Baking skates will make a good fit better. It doesn't make a poor fit good.

AND NO CARBON LITE RUNNER? I thought the carbon lite runners were supposed to be the bee knees ??? ( i kid, I kid )

yes, i'm onto my last ST 2.0 team stick and its amazing how long they hold up. I don't necessarily need a 385~ gram stick, i think i weighed one of the team stick ST2.0's and it came in around 425 at the full 69.5" length ( and I chop off about 1.5 inches from that ) so for me, they a lite enough. I'd love to find some more of the super tacks or ST 2.0 teams skticks in my build, but its near impossible now, which is why im looking for some new sticks. thanks for the input.

Thanks for the input. I saw the build stickers for these ( 2HSMHK3SP ) and cross referenced it with some codes i found in the sports2k website thread about pro stock sticks. I'm fairly certain that they are in fact Jetspped FT3 Pro pro stock builds,( and definitely not team sticks ). I do recall the team pro stocks that i've been using being billed as slightly sturdier than other pro stocks ( and slighlty heavier ), so these jetspeeds would likely be lighter and a little less durable is what you are saying, correct?

I felt the same with my ccm's. However, CCM says 2 minutes at 220 degrees and that just felt odd to me, so I did 4 minutes at 180 or so and I felt like it gave me better moldability.

Read that too......but arent pro stocks usually made a little more durable? At least that was my understanding over the years.

Got it. So its not really so much how the blade dampens the puck when receiving a pass or stickhandling ( as I assume all blades have some sort of tech in them, ie foams and ribs in there to accomplish that ), its really more of the feeling ( a pinging or a buzzing sensation ) through the sticks shaft for taking passes and general puck handling that you would feel some pinginess when doing those tasks? I can only assume the sticks i've been using are kind of pingy in their own right as they are super tacks model sticks with very stiff blades and shafts. I've never noticed anything that makes me say that it feels terrible to me, but I'm also not a slick handed stick handler either. I just like the stiff construction and stiff blades for my shooting style as a harder shooting defenseman ( mostly hard wristers and slappers ). It almost sounds like the jetspeed might not be too far off from what i've been using when it comes to blade feel, but I'd be experimenting with an 85 flex when I've been using 100's and 95's as a bigger player....

Thanks for the info guys..........I do have one question though, what is meant by "pinginess" and or "dampened" blades? I realize those terms are sort of self-explanatory, but i'm not 100% sure what is meant when I hear it. Realistically I' like to find some super tacks models ( as1, as2 pro and so on ) that are in my flex and curve, but they are hard to come by. I have grown very accustom to the mid-kick sticks and the stiff blades of the super tacks, I think due to my size and weight, i do well with the stiffer blades and flex type, but again, was considering the jetspeed sticks to try..... decisions decisions..... 🙂

I’ve been using some pro stock CCM Super Tacks LK and ST 2.0 LK team sticks for the last few years and I’m down to my last new stick. I got a lead on some pro stock Jetspeed FT3 Pro sticks in my curve, but I’ve never used one of these “hybrid” sticks. I’m also thinking about going from 100/95 flex sticks down to an 85 to see what all this hype is about with using more flexible sticks. How do these hybrid sticks shoot and was the ft3 pro a decent stick when it was out there? If it matters, I’m also 6’4 230 lbs and a hard shooting defenseman, the only thing I’m afraid of is an 85 flex feeling too whippy compared to the 100 or 95 flexes I’m used to. Any info about these sticks would be greatly appreciated
