    I got the new skates and holders. The fit and finish and QC is still hilariously bad. I have fibres chipping from the heel straight out of the box, either they didn't put a gloss coat on them or they missed spots. While the skates are lighter, my FT2 still feel WAY lighter on my feet when wearing them side by side.

    T90 line is more in line with the Project 9 isn't it? I would be looking at Sherwoods other sticks for a T90esk

    When I used the normal stock strapping (mediumly tight elastics) on the 1X I need a boot strap to almost act as a pulley system that would rotate the pad. The strap was loose but it would slide under the heel and rotate back correctly. When I went to a much looser strapping system I didn't need the bootstrap. So it still has it's usage even when loose.

    Can you make posts on the forum when you make your appearances? That way we can track you and make sure we don't miss any.

    Podcast! I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on new gear or any going ons about hockey.

    I have that damage on my goalie skates from what I imagine posts or pucks. No issues over a year in with it.

    I personally believe if you need to use beeswax or sno-seal maybe they should re-work the interior... I have never had issues with wet skates though, but my skates are goalie skates so maybe that has something to do with it.

    If an NHLer blocked a shot in an FT1 I have a feeling there is a 90% chance in a broken bone.

    Finally got around to getting my soccer gear out of my hockey shelf... Just need to move it into better lighting once the basement gets cleaned up.

    I know you said you are done with this thread. But I'd be curious what you would put me in. I've tried FT1, AS1 and I still have foot pain in both skates, especially if I don't wear extremely thin socks. Only skates so far I am generally comfortable in after skating are my True goalie skates, but even those hurt like hell if I tighten the laces lower on the foot.
  11. Hills
    I sort of disagree, I think the internals are more comfortable since they added the "buttersoft" portion of the Alpha. But the externals and actually flexibility of the glove I totally agree.

    So sorry to hear.
  13. Hills
    Did you get the added protection in them? I've gotten hit a few times on the skates but have never felt anything, not sure if that is luck or what.

    Can we see the back?
  15. Hills
    Yeah, I have my order already. They return calls in order of them receiving the calls. I called basically an hour after they posted everything up. I posted the link a day after it was up so there is probably a big list. Last time they did it, a bunch of sellers and stores on sidelineswap bought a tonne of their inventory to flip. So if you see any flames socks chances are they paid $1 Canadian for them.

    Everything on the site is orders they take over the phone and shipped. I think it is free shipping within Canada for over $100 orders.

    Flames sale is online now. Some massive jersey steals, $50 for team issued jersey with names/numbers (obviously not big names). $40 for blank team issued jerseys. $20 for numbered practice jerseys and $40 for named practice jerseys. You have to call the store, leave a message with your name and number and they call you back and you tell them what you'd like to order. I didn't really look through the equipment section so can't comment on those prices/deals. http://www.flamesport.com/store/content/306/equipment-sale-2018/

    Did you notice more blade on the toe or heel when making turns?
  19. Hills
    I completely agree with you, I have had people tell me they thought the toe on the Quads was too much for them. It took me a good 3 skates until I stopped transitioning with the toes and I was comfortably not loosing my balance.
  20. Hills
    I figured as much but wanted to learn what other people thought. I went straight to a Quad 1 and won't go back, I'd like to suggest something as aggressive as a Quad since it should make a very noticeable difference. But I am worried you'd shave off too much at the toe when doing that.

    Did you ever find an answer to what to recommend to someone who is new to profiling? I know it varies from person to person but I am curious if you found a conclusion.
  22. Hills
    The flapping his "wings" like their mascot?
  23. Hills
    The difference in blade and stick carbon there is really interesting to me.
  24. Hills
    Had some foot pain in the FT1 and needed to get a wider heel and more depth. These felt great right away.

    Finally got a photo of the new pads, was a playoff game and I wasn't ready to wear the gloves yet.
