Been playing non-stop since 1968 or so. I've had alot of skates over the years but nothing better than the 652 Vacu-Tack with Tuuks. I bought 3 pairs of these before they were discontinued and I used this model skate up until about 3 years ago. Tried many of the new style hard as rock skates and this old guy just can't get used to that feel. I now have a pair of Bauer Flex lite 4.0, these have the most "OLD SCHOOL" feel that I have found. I had to add some material to the heel area in order to snug it up, but other than that I like them. I will buy a pair of Nexus within the next year or when I can get a SUPER DEAL on a pair. So top 5 1-4 652 Vacu-Tacks 5- Bauer Flex-lite 4.0
