Goalie helmets also aren't looking at the same impact tests than player helmets are. Majority of contacts is pucks and blunt force without the rotational part. With that said, I tried on the Axis XF mask with NestTech in it and I wasn't comfortable enough with the density of the padding to try it myself.

Yeah, I felt the rounder heel and it is why the whole skate felt "too round for my liking." The 10', 10.75' on the back of the skate made the whole steel feel rounded where the Quad feels flatter in the mid-to-rear. The blade felt like it was just a circle anywhere off the middle, where I'd prefer the more aggressive toe and flatter heel in a Quad.

I tried the Skatescribe Power Cut and hate it compared to my Quad 1. It is too rounded everywhere for my liking.

Depends on the specific brand. Cutshield is now Level 6 but they don't make a neck guard. Aycane is Level 4 according to their site. https://aycane.com/en-ca/collections/cut-resistant-hockey-gear/products/blade-pro-base-layer-long-sleeve-2-0

Look for the EN 388 cut rating. This one is a 3 so it is cut resistant so it give a protective benefit. https://ca.pipglobal.com/en/updated-en-388-standard/

CCMs will be 1/2" bigger overall as well than the Warriors.

Not a minor step down, a HUGE step down.

You can also see his SuperTacks weave in close up of his stick too. Evidently CCM isn't doing old designs anymore 🤷‍♀️

I switch it on a daily basis... so that would be way too much effort!

Just forward and backwards with the shell like other CCM helmets that share the shell.

I have the Total Custom version, and it is so much better than the retail version it is ridiculous. I go from long hair to short hair all the time and it is comfortable regardless where the retail helmet I get pressure points if I have longer hair in certain spots. The SuperTacksX is the most comfortable retail helmet I have ever worn, and the Total Custom brings it to a completely new level where it is better than my custom goalie masks where I had to send in my head mold into a shop. My only complaint is that I don't have more because when I ever match colours I get disappointed in the other helmet.

I never said it increased performance. Carbons specifically help pull back the toes from stopping the foot from collapsing, Comfort doesn't do that and Superfeet was very clear in the differences when Comfort came out.

The thumbs!

Too round for me, I can't get a solid grip when shooting and the stick twists in my hands a lot. Feels like I am holding an intermediate stick.

But... that is exactly what I said. They are upgrades over the rivet cover (which is most stock foot beds) but doesn't give any benefits that the Carbon does. Superfeet straight up said it was made for people who don't like the support that the Carbons give.,

If you had Yellows, you had the pre-upgrade ones and they shouldn't have been called "Carbon." Yellow was when they had a single product, then they came out with the "Pro Carbon" which changed to their "carbon" structure and a thinner a slightly thinner foot bed. Once Yellow was sold through, they came out with the "Comfort" which doesn't really have any of the Superfeet benefits and is more or less an upgraded rivet cover. Most people preferred the Pro Carbons to the older Yellows, from what I can see they haven't done anything different from my Pro Carbon to the new name changed ones.

I still swear by going with Evoshield underneath the elbows, keeps them in place all the time. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUtoTbPc0H/

They are out there:

But isn't the Bauer helmet like the custom skates part? You are taking an existing shell, then adding custom printed parts to the existing shell along with the existing stock padding. I'm not saying you need a new shell to make a fully custom product, but I am saying having all of that stock padding in there makes it hard for me to believe this is the best fit possible from the 3D scan and fit process. If VT takes another poor fitting helmet and throws it on their sample I am sure it will get a low rating. Not sure how VT could do a test of the myBauer custom made one without someone at Bauer knowing about the scan that comes through.

I compared the Bauer demo helmet to the CCM demo helmets. Both weren't custom fit to my head. So pretty fair comparison there. Couldn't Bauer simply add the lattice on top of the padding that is already on the sides to give an entire wrap fit instead of just certain points? Based on how everything else Bauer is doing recently seems more like a cost cutting or weight saving solution rather than making the best possible product. Why are you showing the results of a non-custom fit helmet from VT? There are enough posts on this board going over that study as is, so we won't dive in there. But clearly CCM knows something considering they are still number 1 on that list no? Are you suggesting that the myBauer helmet will end up on that list? Pretty interesting that they don't have a scanned and custom fit CCM helmet there.

I too saw a custom "demo" one of these and it felt horrible. Not just because it wasn't fit to my head, but I don't understand why it isn't a full head wrap like the CCM one is. Why leave what looks to be stock REAKT padding in the scanned and custom helmet. The 3D printed material is a lot stiffer (maybe more dense) than NestTech, but it wasn't comfortable at all. Where the "Fit" demo helmets CCM has are WAY more comfortable.

You have to fit Superfeet by standing on them and checking the heel cup fit. Most people have to "size up" based on what is recommended on the box. So tough to do if you can't go in store.

If you look at that blade, it is the newer weaves, QX will be the 12K weave. So no way that is a QX blade.

From what I found, CCM is on one level higher than anyone else in terms of shooting. I haven't used the Hyp2rlite yet, but Trigger 6 Pro shot better than the Ag5nt did, and 7 Pro was a slight improvement on the 6 Pro.

kk, just making sure. BGP2B is pretty on par with the Hyperlite. I know people will swear they are better, but I didn't notice a massive difference in shooting between the two. I would say you are safe with anything that isn't a Flylite tbh,
