    They had a demo of the new scanner with the new orthotics at the Minnesota State High School hockey tournament in March. My 11 year old tried it out and I was less than impressed with the results. They have you stand on the scanner like the old version, then they have you stride across the scanner which they say scans your gait. They have like 3ish 'stock' orthotic options they fit you into based on the scan. Concept was cool, I thought the results seemed pretty generic as my son's scan came back too big/wide.

    Oh nice. Was that like Black Friday by any chance? I was just about to order a custom profile from them. 

    It was a pro stock blade sale. You could email them and see if they still would honor it. My guess they have a bunch of excess inventory of pro stock pulse blades their trying to unload before the new bauer holder takes over the world.

    What about stability. 

    I'm curious if there are different Atomic K Cuts for different sized runners, as well. Wish I could get some more info on this. It's expensive to get new steel and a new profile for it to be a total dud. 

    Not sure how to quantify stability from a profile. I've never really felt any more or less stable from a skate profile. 

    I hear you on the expense. I actually tried it because Tydan was running a sale on steel which included free profiling. I got 280 LS Pulse Ti XL edge runners with the profile and a sharpen for $69.99.

    Or, you could e-mail Scott and ask him if this will become an issue/how he will fix it rather than making ridiculous analogies about it on a forum full of people who can't actually do anything about it.

    Ask Scott what kind of solvent should be used to clean up the glue. I guarantee he'll have a satisfactory answer for you.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say for the beer leaguers on this board, the skates will NOT come unglued, will NOT fall apart, and will NOT spontaneously combust as some of you fear.

    I don't get why people are so fired up about both sides of this argument. I agree with both sides for the most part.

    On one hand people believe if you pay $800+ for skates you shouldn't have to clean up the glue, that should have been done by the manufacturer. On the other hand people are saying skates are made for performance, if the performance is great and the construction is great....who cares about the glue showing. its different strokes for different folks, no need to get angry at the opposing opinion.

    From my rep...

    E7 is dead because a majority of players were migrating towards e36/p88.

    E7 apparently only sold really well in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri. Everywhere else it was their number 3 or 4 best selling curve. Guess the market wasn't big enough to keep it as an option and decided to focus on the e36

    Very interesting, thank you for the information.

    NOOO they lost another life long Easton user by getting rid of the E7. CCM has the Lecavalier and Bauer has the p12 through custom order but that's it. Do we have any insight as to why they're getting rid of it? It seems like it sells pretty well?

    Also, a more philosophical question....why are all the curves so huge now? The iggy curve was like the only resort for a mild curve and a blade that isn't so long.
