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.
-
The flapping his "wings" like their mascot?
-
The difference in blade and stick carbon there is really interesting to me.
-
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.
-
Added some colour, hard to do when playing on multiple teams.
-
Finally got the hockey room in the basement complete...
-
I went from stock to a Quad 1. First 3 skates I felt like I was falling forward on my toes all the time, especially transitioning from skating backwards to forward where I actually fell a few times. Now I love it and won't go back, I feel much more agile in my turns and more stable in straight line. Stopping and starting as really felt quicker as well.

Is the retailer Pro Hockey Life?
-
Well true skates don't attach the holder to the monocoque holder anyways. I wouldn't fear being on edge holders, I've been on my for 3 years with no issues. The majority of time there are issues (from what I heard) is when they have improperly fitted steel in them.
-
I don't think the skates look good with black either. So I'd rather have colour than nothing.
-
New skates! I think they are hideous but if they are comfortable they will be worth it.
-
@ZamboniFever thanks for the replies. Just an fyi, the instructions for the edge checker says "the space between each line indicates an edge height difference of .002" So I think that is a source of confusion.
-
@dkmiller3356 why the LS2?
-
Order has been officially placed... And I was told 4 weeks from payment date. Which is a total of 7 now so that is annoying but I believe the 1st 3 weeks was a retailer issue... But I'm looking forward to solving my goalie skate issues!
-
This team always does that! We may get destroyed 7-1 but we look good doing it!
-
Thanks haha, I still think it looks weird but I can see out of it fine so it seems to be my go-to now. Got some pictures of the pads and mask together!
-
Yup, and I had to tie slack in them after the game last night, pad didn't rotate back enough.
-
Since my custom pads are delayed even more... I was luckily sent a demo set to try out. With no bootstrap or standard toe ties this experiment should be interesting.
-
Finally got it! And the obligatory awful self photo.
-
New skates! Trying to get away from the foot pain I always had in my Vapors. Also, didn't notice until I uploaded it how blurry the photo was so my bad.
-
Those are so ugly and awful I am tempted to do those colours when I order mine.
-
They aren't gimmicks just because you can't utilize them because you don't fit into the skate. They are legitimate features other brands don't have. While Bauer gets bashed a lot, their goalie skates are pretty great at a retail level if they fit. Problem is that people like me don't fit into them, but I will be disappointed that the True skate I buy doesn't have some of those features in the 1S or 1X.
-
To be fair, the goalie 1S are totally different from the player 1S. VH feel much closer between the two than Bauer does.
