it's the cuff itself. i think it may be a combination of the narrow fit and hossa cuff. it's not nearly as wide around the wrist so it puts the cuff real close and it was digging in. i've been wearing bauer 4 roll pros. i wonder if the regular fit franchise fits closer to them than the narrow fit.

Damn. Played with them on for like 30 minutes. On my top hand the under side of the cuff rubs and digs in my wrist bad. Does this go away as they break in?

Ordered my custom franchise may 6, shipped June 6 arrived today. Narrow fit 13" hossa cuff. That cuff makes them look tiny. I'll break them in before I have an opinion.

Has anybody tried to heat the heel to form and get a better ankle lock? Seeing if worked and any tips? the video shows them spot heating with a heat gun, but that's it. I didn't know if you put them on right after and maybe how long you stay in them for.

Tried the 18k shin today. The calf strapped was just about right it was almost a little too short compared to the 20 K. The top strap was really short like the 20 K.

Alright, this was the first time I actually removed footbrds while drying. Put them back in, no more movement.

It's so weird that all of a sudden it happened 1.5 months in. If my four is sliding up with footbed I guess my ankle isn't as locked in as I thought.

I'll check when I get home but this is 1.5 months in with them and it just started.

I have a weird thing happening. Skates have been awesome 3 days a week since April 2. All of a sudden the last 2 times out my toes on my right foot are rubbing against the front of the boot. When I bend my knees it's a little better by by the time I'm done it feels like somebody rubbed a cheese greater over the tips of my toes. I wear the grey synergy Easton skates have been the whole time. Only difference I notice between the two skates is that I noticed the right footbed is sliding back and forth. I'm talking about with the skate off I can stick my hand in there and with a little push the footbed moves from front to back. The left one doesn't. Is this the culprit? Suggestions?

Me too. Tried the 16k and the top strap just below the knee was extremely tight. And I have small legs. I'm 5'8 these were a 14. The shoulder pads are comfortable. Only tried the 16,14 and 12k. 20k elbow pads are sick. I think I'd be a medium although the strap around my forearm is almost too long and the one around my bicep is tight. I am going to decide between these, the 18k or new dynasty.

Narrow fit

I tried on 13 franchise with small dynasty ax1

Negative one inch on the standard cuff that comes on the stock ones you get on the shelf? I tried on 13 narrow fit today and they do come over the slash guard of my elbows

Think I'm close to ordering warrior just need to figure a few things out. On the stock warrior I noticed that above the size "13 or 14" there is a nr or sr. I'm assuming the nr is narrow fit and sr regular fit? If so I like the nr fit better. Still trying to decide on cuff. I don't like when gloves over lap my elbow pads that's why i like my reebok. http://www.google.com/search?q=reebok+7000+gloves&client=safari&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=sFmFUburEbTh0wHrlYBg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=320&bih=416#biv=i%7C0%3Bd%7C6o1PrDMbd6zglM%3A Which would be a shorter cuff most similar to those.

Thanks is there a consensus as to which cuff seems to be most mobile? My reebok's have a short cuff and good mobility. Is there any benefit to getting the cuff carbon vs going all tufftek or is it just all personal?

Where do u go through to get the different cuff options? I like my reebok 7000hg cuff so looking for something similar. Also, sizing. In Bauer four rolls, Bauer vapor APx pro, my Reebok four rolls I wear a size 13 and all of them. I could probably go with a 13 or 14 seems like I am in between sizes but I just prefer the fit and feel of the 13. I'm guessing that I would also be 13 in the franchise NARrow fit ? Excuse my grammar I'm trying to ease this stupid voice to text on my iPhone

I just messed with the customizer Chose 13 narrow franchise All material is tufftek All colors are red except for print. Print is white on white. Chose full cuff roll writing. New franchise Micro Nash combo palm. Is this what's on standard? I like thinner palms vs the thicker palm on Bauer 4 rolls. Is this the right choice? Also chose 3d mesh gussets. What's the advantage/disadvantage of these? Trilam foam. Have no clue on this. I didn't see where u can choose hossa or kovalchuk cuff.

I bet after one hard skate length will be perfecy

What size mako u get?

Mine felt perfect after Baking and feel a tad long long and the ankle a little wider now. But I guess u can heat the ankle up and press according to the video. Next size down was 5.5 and my foot was not going in there. I'm a 8.5 sneaker and 8 maybe could go to 7.5 in dress shoes. It's weird, according to the Bauer foot measuring thing I should be a 7 in theirs but I wear a 6

I gained a little length after a few skates. Ur heel settles back a little but. Same thing happened with my vapor 4.0

I'm thinking about getting custom franchise's. I'd buy the regular narrow fit ones if they came in all red like the Detroit red wings color way. I have reebok all red hg7000 but am looking for a second pair. How long can I expect the custom franchise to last playing 2-3 days a week? Also, anybody willing to help me out because I do not know what all the options mean as far as cuff, material, gusset and palms go.

Where can I get some red wing type all red gloves? Not many are made off the shelf all red

I got to try the AX2 elbow. They were a great fit for me, but a little too much pad. I really want to check out the ax3 and if the fit/strapping system is similar I may get them. also waiting to try the ax3 shoulder pads. Got to try on the AX1 shin. They were also a bit much padding for my level of play. Looking to change out my current shins so may wait for the ax2 or ax3. My problem with a lot of shins is how small my legs are. the calf wrap on the bauer supreme line goes all the way past the velcro.

Not sure if you were answering me about my tongue issue. I was just checking to see if this is something I should put in for warranty. If so, I will take them to the shop I bought them from.
