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.
-
In my defense, when both of my teams have a playoff weekend I become dead tired and end up looking worse in photos than normal... Nice to win the league though after starting 0-5-1.
-
I tried it once with the Ultra Tacks as I have the knee sleeves for goalie. But they pushed the shin guard way too far off my knee because of the shallowness.
-
I wish more pants had padding there. I was looking into buying a pair of these for goalie and another pair for player, but the knee padding is too thick for my liking to go under my goalie knee pads and my shin pads. After seeing this happen I'll never say anything to anyone who wants more padding in the thighs. It wasn't like that was a blocked shot either, just in the wrong place by someone who can't aim at pickup.
-
Thanks for filming me falling over!
-
I wonder if this is a 1 year thing to go to the Olympics. He seemed to still have enough in him to keep playing and being productive.
-
Or just make sure you don't play with dicks... Haha
-
Did you edit that on the plane? That was fast!
