I should note, on standard Flare (10' profile) I used a 1" ROH and after I profiled it I changed to a 1.5" ROH
Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't Flare use the standard factory profile of each manufacturer? Ls3 edge being a 9'?

The p90tm is just as open as p28, the curve is just different. OP was looking for more closed version.

I was looking at the Malkin curve on prohockeysticks. It was described as an 88 with a toe curve, so I guess the same shape but with the curve just pushed forward toward the toe. I would assume it doesn't have a lot of rocker and is fairly closed. i liked some aspects of the 28 except when I'd shoot quickly from the point and not get my hands forward enough (watch your heads boys, incoming!). I use an 88 now but like the longer "flat spot" of the 88. I was thinking of trying the Malkin but pre-orders just closed. Wonder if the 71 from Base is the same.
Bases BC71 and doesn't have much rocker and is closed throughout. The toe is actually more closed (or less open) then the middle of the blade if you look closely. There is also the CCM p71, which is the same as the Gionta W10. If you go to Prohockeysticks it is the last curve in his video feeds.

Yeah I guess I was thinking of the process differently. Wanted to get some a set of retail, holder not attached yet and have some mars blades put on them. I don't think that can happen because like you said, they will just be fully stocked on the shelf.

Could you order a retail model off the shelf if True already has your foot scan from a custom mould?

Icewarehouse has a video on youtube that talks about the FT3 Pro along with the new p90TM curve.

2 hours ago, SkateWorksPNW said:There is a few very minor changes but its mostly the v2 version of the skates. I weighed the TF9 vs my 2019/2020 Pro Customs and the weight was within 20 grams.
What was the weight difference between v1 and v2 you had? I have shotblockers in the last version of VH, which is an extra 50 grams I believe. Looking at how much weight I could save to the new version.

Any know if this is a change to their 2.0 version or just a visual change?

There are plans for a 2.0 version of O1, if so is there a date?

So... For the Marsblade O1 + boot combo...
What's the sizing of the boot like?
I wear a 7.5 D Mako for ice. The volume and forefoot width are both arguable too small, but the combination of the heat moldability plus the metatarsal guard spreading out the lace load I think makes them work. But they do work and I have no issues being in them for say five hours at a go when I ref. I don't brush the endcaps with my toes, but it doesn't seem like there's a ton of room in there either.
The Bauer scanner thinks I should be in a 7.5EE Supreme.
I've got an older pair of 8D Ribcores that I could convert, but I'm thinking of just getting the boot / holder combo, particularly at the $280 price vs. $200 for the holder itself. The Ribcores also feel a little sloppy compared to the Makos, so its not like they're at all perfect either.edit: Standing on a ruler, my right foot seems to be ~26.8cm and left is ~26.5cm

One thing to note is they don't make wide boots, so you'd have to use their regular width option. I am just getting this from the website so correct me if I am wrong. I wear a wide True skate and my rollers are a 10.5E RBK, so my only option is a conversion.

CCM is calling it a mid max

21 minutes ago, MrData said:Regular is nowhere near a Nexus/Jetspeed blade. It's really, really soft. Made for roller/ball hockey or Daniel Brière.
I do like a dampened blade, and I've used both XS and S, but I prefer the XS. I'd say stick with the XS, or try something like a Sher-Wood T90 gen 2, Bauer 2S Pro (most dampened blade feel of any stick I've used, outside of wood), or CCM Trigger. In terms of BASE sticks, personally I find that the SuperNatural in particular feels nicely dampened with the XS blade.
Thanks, considering going with a Supernatural for the next stick.
Is Base going to come out with any new curves? They never progress even with the max height option they talked about on the blog.

Do you have fitment issues lengthwise?
IIRC I always noticed the warrior blade hosel was smaller going into a Bauer shaft. This was for the tapered version, but I could fixed the voids by a layer of tape. Looks like you have the opposite combination where the Bauer blade has a little bit extra material. I bet that blade would fit into a Bauer shaft.

Just looking for a more dampened blade feel for stickhandling without effecting shot too much. If it's not really a noticeable difference, then I'll probably stick with extra stiff. Also need the durability for face offs.
-
Ok Thanks for the feedback on the regular stiffness.
Can anyone compare the Stiff blade to another brand?
-
Has anyone had experience with the stiff or regular blade stiffness? How does it feel with shot, stickhandling, passes etc? Wonder if going with a softer blade will give a more dampened and better puck feel.
I've only used extra stiff and some of their old blades which they said was closer to a stiff.
-
I've been using them for a long time. Durability is really Good, especially when you get the sharkskin blade. I haven't used the supernatural but the ss10 is great stick.
They also have alot of curve options.

17 hours ago, Sprungdownunder said:I have a opportunity to buy some LS edge holders with step black steel second hand but in good condition but after reading this thread I am having second thoughts.
Will all LS edge holders eventually end up with this problem?
Need some advice before I drop some decent coin on them.From what I understand this was a problem initially when LS edge came out, which hasn't been a problem in years. I read this thread but still got them 2.5 years ago on my True skates and haven't had an issue.

Is this moldable? It looks like the one I had on my MLX, very flexible.

Base offers the Coffey curve and other Easton curves.

Do they say where they are manufactured?

I was looking at Svechnikov's, what model Oakley is this?
-
I have a straight cut Hejduk visor that is 3.5 inches tall, from nose to top of forehead.
Does anyone have models that provide more face coverage?

Great thanks for the photo, did you have fitment issues getting them in the holder? Parts were too wide just slightly?

Thanks, I didn't know that because I had LS2 before and never stock LS3 steel.
