    Do you have a pic from toe to heel seeing the thickness. This has no 6 degree angle like flare, it's the same size as any other runner in the hold then gets wider outside?
  2. BureKovy
    Are these a thicker steel?
  3. BureKovy
    I had Ken put a mouthguard holder over it.

    Thanks JR. I actually watched a video on how they do it, alot more clear now with the template.

    Thanks, Nicolas G. When asking for a quad, can you make adjustments within the quad or is it profiled off of the quad template. Like on quad 0, could you change any of the 6-9-11-13?
  6. BureKovy
    That's interesting. Yeah I'd like to see pics.

    I've been ordering through Base since 2011, and this last order I noticed I was waiting roughly as long as you. I think they just did alot of volume over the holidays, plus black Friday was before that. I ordered a blade last summer and got it in 3 or 4 weeks.

    It's weird they had the plugs because the tracing process was the same for VH. I had MLX custom made in a wider boot. Possible that they took your specs and made them to an off the shelf boot. Mine were two different sizes though.

    What is a 0.5 quad radius? I don't see it listed anywhere.

    Took a shot off my inner ankle, really glad I got shot blocker. I probably would of been out for the season with a fracture. Instead it was a couple weeks with a deep contusion.

    I have similar feet you, 11 and 11.5 with 296 holders. MLX skates I had to get them to make a wider custom set and they had 306 holders. Also flat feet. I found just superfeet (no insert) with a custom tongue works the best and gives enough volume. Sounds like you have a few issues but you shouldn't be hitting the end of your skates. They either fitted you wrong or you didn't kick your heel back enough in the baking process. Is your LHS sending in measurements and a scan Also?

    I thought the softer blade flex was better for receiving passes or is it vice versa. Has anyone else tried the different blade flexes. Like stiff or regular?
  13. BureKovy
    I would rebake, then go from there about forward flexion. This will solve your volume issues, if you want you could go right to the tensor method. Then you can work at opening the eyelets up with a heat gun. This is what I did. If you can get your foot in and out without twisting, then it's probably not baked right. I know guys that have baked trues 10 times. Ive done them twice and going to do them again after changing the tongue and insole.
  14. BureKovy
    I would try rebaking them, there should be way more wrap around your foot. The eyelets shouldn't be straight out like that. I can't even put my foot straight in because the eyelets are too close together, I have to turn my foot. Try the tensor technique.

    Yeah they got rid of the tapered and only provide standard hosel for 2018. No idea why.
  16. BureKovy
    All true pieces are standard blades just FYI.

    I came from MLX skates and it is stiffer which was hard to get used to. I took a slap shot off my inner ankle that would of probably broke it, instead it was just a deep bruise. After that I am glad I got it. The same thing happened to two of my teammates this year and one fractured his in two places. It will make them last longer too, if you get a flexible tongue you might not notice much of a difference. This is my experience but guys coming from other skates might not notice much of a difference in stiffness.
  18. BureKovy
    Did you buy a standard width nexus?

    April 2016, the guys put it on the gauge and told me because I had a tough time making turns. My front toe skipping. First profile I tried was 9/10" and it felt way better.
  20. BureKovy
    Mine was close to 11'
  21. BureKovy
    I did this with my MLX, blacked out the silver part and I thought it looked way better. Just took a few coats with industrial black marker to sink in. I haven't touched my VH yet.
  22. BureKovy
    Going to a 2, you don't feel the loss in the crossover? I think this was my main concern so I am to go more zero. But having tried zero and 1, you're right, I didn't notice a very big difference between them. I do like to have tighter turning so the zero felt better for me but I could of easily skated on a 1 and still been happy.
  23. BureKovy
    Yeah it sounds like quads would be better than what you have right now. I don' think you could go wrong with any one if them. Zero will be better for turning, two better for speed. One is between both. But all will help you get on your toes more.
  24. BureKovy
    Right now on your step steel you could be anywhere from a 10 to 11' radius. They call it quads because you get 4 separate radius throughout your steel. Do you feel you get good speed, no wasted energy or maybe you want you turns to be tighter. Depends on what kind of player you are.
  25. BureKovy
    Do you like the step steel radius right now? Or us there anything you would change about it?
