    I shoot slower with the low-licks than I do the Supremes and Tacks. But it is way easier to get off quickly and consistently, where as I really have to load the Tacks and Supreme to get a good shot off. But it comes off a few MPH faster.

    I was expecting thinner like the old Bauer tongues. These still feel a bit thick for my liking as if I crank the laces I start to get lace bite near my instep. I enjoy the tongue more than the stock one though just for the lower profile.

    Is it the newest one? I thought they were called thin pro or something that is why I am asking

    Nah, get the 1X knee guards. Cheaper and they come with a girdle to hold them up. Way less bulky too but equally protective and slightly less comfy.
  5. Hills
    Yup! Did you check your floor to knee measurement before picking them?

    34 V3 is probably about a 32 in modern CCM. V3 pads would break down and get smaller over time, and CCM plays a bit bigger than other brands in terms of sizing (especially old Vaughns).

    I really want a legit one. Might one day be worth as much as a Fisherman jersey haha.

    The biggest disappointment was when I brought it up to multiple CCM reps and they shrugged their shoulders... the pro stock Tacks shin guards are so much better for knee padding.

    That is why I added Poron shot blockers to the inside of the knee. CCM really thinned out the foams there to show off the D3O from the 20K to the Ultra Tacks. Super disappointing they haven't really addressed it.

    The jerseys though!

    I find it interesting that CCM's community question site had a questionnaire the day this happened asking whether or not they would switch skates if they couldn't use a steel they preferred.
  12. Hills
    But the majority of people swapping CCM steel aren't in the equivalent skates as LS1...

    Did the Octogun expand outwards?

    Both of the JRZ gloves are basically the same as each other. Just a 1 piece cuff vs 2 piece. Unfortunately there isn't a JRZ glove that will be close to that V8 that Vaughn makes. JRZ gloves are closest to the V8 XP

    I wish you the best of luck!

    It bulges outwards, like a snake swallowing an egg.

    Not even close... the taper is completely different than anything I have seen before.

    When I play on really bad soft ice (twice a week) I really notice a difference between the polished steel and the non-polished. Hyper-glide would legitimately glide better on the poor ice than the CCM Blacksteel would with the same sharpening.

    Usually companies don't release multiple products within a few months of each other with the opposite naming conventions. Plus, swapping Pro from the 2nd tier price point to the top tier is confusing people more than feeling like they are getting something fresh.
  20. Hills
    The confusing part is CCM decided to change their naming convention so they have 0 consistency.

    Does that mean the DX SL wouldn't have the same "one piece" construction as the non-SL version? Or is the True1 not referencing a 1 piece stick.

    Verbero Mercury socks are super comfortable and often go on sale for 50% off. Thicker sock compared to the really thin ones though.
  23. Hills
    I was trying to give them the slight benefit of the doubt haha

    I never understood D3O on the tongue of a goal skate... that would never be hit by a puck. I guess it was for lace bite protection?
  25. Hills
    I fail the pencil test in true skates but never had issues with lace bite. I figured it was due to me not actually having to tighten the skates much to get them to feel snug. I basically only tie up the top 3 eyelits.
