HGJS, FT4, 10K, 2S Pro, HGST should all be pretty flared cuffs for what you are looking for. Why not just go back to Eagle?

Hockey Supremacy had a post on their socials a while back where they were looking for "ambassadors" that would post about gear for them with associated discount codes and they would send the gear to them. A bunch of people applied to it (I did myself) and the person who is doing those videos won. I am pretty sure they have a pretty big following on TikTok and Instagram. I am not a fan of that style of content so don't follow those people but it is basically ads for the store and the target audience is the quick form social content.

We just did fits with people standing up, then cut the Superfeet to fit, baked the skates and threw the Superfeet back in and had them do up their skates again. I know it takes some people to adjust and it wasn't unheard of for it to take about 5 skates to get used to them. So we always pushed people to try more than once.

When fitting for them, the 1st thing we looked for was the heel fully placed inside the heel cup, then you'd ensure the arch is comfortable with the size you chose. You start with it outside the skate to get fit, but make sure on the arch part once it is in the skate and trimmed to fit.

Superfeet Comfort makes a lot of sense then. They don't really offer the benefits of pulling the feet back and locking your foot in place like the Carbons do. I would consider looking hard at the Carbons again, especially because they should have their 60 day guarantee on them if they don't work. But don't worry about the skate size on the box and look for 2 things. Ensure your heel is fully in the heel cup without the fat pad of your foot going over the edges, and the 2nd is to try and make the arch lined up so your foot can't collapse down and elongate. You more often than not have to trim Superfeet to fit the proper foot size.

I feel like this is an important piece to look at. Superfeet should REALLY help with your foot sliding forward and moving. When I put mine in, it basically locks the arch backwards in place. Which Superfeet do you have and what size on them (They should have a letter size) and what size is your shoes? I still have to tie my skates tight at the top, but it isn't to stop my foot from sliding forward and locking the heel, it is because I don't like movement in my ankles and want that area to be tight.

Boots and shoes will always be more comfortable and IMO skates will never get there simply because boots and shoes stretch and have give to them. I love my True customs and they have allowed me to skate without foot pain, but there is no way I am hiking 30kms in them like I do in my boots. If your toes are touching the ends, grab a pair of Superfeet and put them in. My toes were jammed on my customs, Superfeet pulled them back enough to get basically the perfect fit. If Superfeet pull your toes back, chances are you won't need more room in the forefoot either. If you can slide your feet out of the skates AGAIN when unlaced... I am questioning how these were baked. Even when purposely pulling the eyelets outwards to open up the ankle so I can get more forward flex and get the skates on and off easier it still takes effort to get my foot in there. My heel will move a bit when not laced, but if you wrap the heel when baking it should lock you in pretty good. I don't see why you would want the ankle padding to cover the Haglund's? Isn't the best way to treat that almost removing all the space around it so it won't rub against anything? I've known people that have basically created a donut of padding around their issue so it sits in a pocket but the ankle is secured.

I thought they removed the name on the 1S gen 1 sticks, which is the gen before the 1X Lites.

Ask for photos of the serial numbers. Will be the easiest tell.

It doesn't actually matter

But Warrior says the blade is the same on all of their sticks according to their website and YouTube videos 🤔

Or... and hear me out... stop trying to change what people already talk about to sound smarter than everyone else and continue putting the little "+ 5 flex" marks on the top of the sticks that people have done for years.

This is completely correct. If you have a 75 flex and have someone flex it as a reference, then hand them a 75 cut down they aren't going to say it flexes like a 75. I totally understand what they are saying, but now you also have no reference of what flex someone wants and likes.

All good! Just wanted to clarify things. Thanks for checking them out 🙂

I didn't pay near retail for it though haha. If I could get the same deal for the Aycane or Warroad stuff I would buy them too 😂

At least Warrior has made improvements on the QR5 Pro line of gloves. I should clarify, I ripped open an pro stock glove to show what materials were used before but I haven't gotten a chance to rip open a pair of retail gloves. But I point out the lack of plastics and more expensive (and heavier) foams used in the pro stock versions. It is sad that people pretend all retail gloves are the same when CCM, True, and Warrior now offer a more protective glove than Vapor and Supreme Bauer gloves.

All of there stuff seems pretty interesting. Can't bring myself to pay that much for base layers though

With CCM doing custom graphics... FT6 Pro with McDavid's Jetspeed graphics would be pretty awesome. Keep the retail models but offer his unique ones.

It took ONE loss to do this! I wonder why he tried out the girdle at all.

I think QRE 20 Pro was the last with Pro as 2nd tier.

I've had to cover their brutal naming in the last few videos I've done. It is super annoying. They copied Bauer when Bauer was doing the Pro as the top line, CCM and Warrior move over to having Pro as their top and then Bauer goes to unique top end names 😂. But for now, Warrior's Pro line is the top, then XXX 20 is the step down. Just of note, it is QR5 and not QRE5... which just adds to the confusion.

Warrior also makes their top end sticks in China as well. When they do LE or SL versions they are often made in China vs Mexico. I know there are people on this site that know the real reasons behind Warrior being in Mexico, I am not sure if it is more than being very quick to make custom sticks for pros. Quality wise it shouldn't matter, the Fantom was only made in China IIRC.

Ouch 😂

Commenting on there is such a losing battle it isn't funny

For sticks I disagree, but the way they are balanced matters as much if not more and the Sling feels lighter but not (holy this will totally make a difference) lighter.
