    Cool to see RibCor in TaylorMade now.

    But the company's iron team wants you to know their new irons fit very nicely in the game-improvement portion of their seven-model iron spectrum. And they also want you to know the name of their signature feature this year: RIBCOR.

    Ribcor is actually a term borrowed from the hockey company CCM, which not long ago was under the same corporate umbrella as TaylorMade through adidas AG. While that's not the case anymore, the name carried through. The idea behind Ribcor is somewhat similar in concept to what the metalwoods team did with the Hammerhead sole slot. Ribcor offers structural integrity to a line of irons which has seen constant thinning for years, while delivering maximum benefit from the face slots which first appeared in the RSi 1 irons (back in the day).

    I am thinking about converting some Bauer One.8s with the HI-LO Aluminum Chassis (http://www.inlinewarehouse.com/HI-LO_Aluminum_Roller_Hockey_Chassis_2015/descpage-HLALF5.html) 

    How would the composite outsole hold up if I had to dremel some of it?  I will be doing this myself under the watchful eyes of a friend who has swapped out many ice holders for people he has never put a chassis on a boot though.  Any tips for that?  Is there anything different than an ice holder?

     

    I had to dremel the outsole bump on my converted CCM Tacks skates and haven't had a single issue yet. I agree with Althoma1 that you probably won't need to but even if you do, you'll be golden.

    He means there is limit to how much you can trim. If the Speed plate is too big to begin with (ie size 11 when you need 8.5) you're SOL. Location of arch maybe an issue but also too large of a Speed plate may not feet widths-wise as well.

     

    Speed plates come in full sizes. So if you need .5 size, you buy the full size up and trim down. That's per Bauer's sizing chart. I'm in 8.5D, I bought a size 9 and trimmed down.

     

    Except for EE's. You select a size up (i.e. 9.0EE & 9.5EE would require a size 10 footbed).

    I thought they made them narrower this year, and its a one piece boot so moulds 360 around your foot.

    The JetSpeeds actually have a narrower forefoot/toebox compared to the Super Tacks. I agree with Kovalchuk that Super Tacks are deeper than Supreme but not a huge amount. I get lace bite without a gel pad in the 1S' but unless I tie the Super Tacks too tight across the top of the foot, I'm golden without the gel pad (all sizes equal).

    So is there already some insight / on-ice experience how the new Super Tacks are different compared to JetSpeed, Bauer 1X ?

    I've been on them for 2-3 months now. I don't fit in Vapor but I did use JetSpeeds in the past. So here's my experience compared to JetSpeed in a nutshell: much more responsive, even more anatomical, lower cut boot and a more aggressive forward pitch.
