    Really? 100g is big for me. And also compared to Scott's 700g under skates, mine is 150g heavier. This is large for me. For example, normal MLX skates with its heavy gimmick holder is 852g according to this site. Another example, full skate fender is about 200g. This was too heavy weight for me. I really felt its difference when wore it first time. So I'm thinking as 1) Full skate fender is 200g so it's great choice if we can get almost same protection as full fender by only 30g additional weight. 2) I don't hope if my skates go over 900g but its protection is not different enough from general VH. Also curious I want to know add weight of plastic toe cap cover.

    I've been understanding as that wider bottom width is better for glide though, is the sentence of this page about Base Width correct? This page says that narrow bottom width decrease drag with the ice so able to get better glide. If my memory is correct, it has been said as that wider bottom width allow us better glide.

    I want to ask the question for someone who got new VH skates.. but also I can't ask impression of getting 100mile slapshot!

    I'm interested in current VH's updates. I'm thinking to make 2nd order around next year. Now we can choose enhanced protect sidewall to get more protection ability. Scott has announced it needs to add 30g than normal boots. I really think normal boots have already had much protection than the other traditional skate boots. But also I think that it has not the same protection as skate fender. My VH is roughly 860g for single boot. Scott shows us 683g boot on the web site though maybe this difference comes from steel and insole. Mine are Sidas Conformable insole and Step Steel, include shoe lace. Although I'm feeling this is little heavy. I don't know my boot size in standard but probably it almost same as the boot which on the web site by Scott. Because my actual foot length is 250~3mm. So if I would choose enhanced sidewall when next order, there is a possibility its weight go over 900g. I want to know the real of enhanced sidewall option. Does it have enough protection to say the same as wearing skate fender, or just little advanced normal VH?

    It seems little too rough for me though, really is this ok to make suitable custom boots?

    from 589g to 510g now. I'll take this to local shop after do the same tune to another side.

    I'm customizing my new M5 shin guard. I noticed that it's better to re-size big shin guard to short, suitable length. I had bought 13" shin guard for my shin length but it was youth product. So it couldn't cover / wrap my leg enough. Then also I want to make this lighter... Former shin guard which I've been using is 467g by Itech. This 14" M5 is 589g in genuine. Probably I will not be able to cut down such 120g however I want to try it under 500g. Now 531g...!

    The new toe cap looks nice. Even if the new boots get enhanced stiffer, I don't think I can cut slap shot by leg with no hesitation. So I don't demand for boots' stiffer that just protection. VH's boots have already been having enough stiffer for skating. I expect lightweight rather than more stiffer. Or if the extra boot stiff reach or get more protection instead of wearing skate fender, it's so great.

    Is there any method to try zChannel sharpening on normal sharpeners for example Blademaster or Blackstone's? But anyway, zChannel is too expensive way to try because of its deep hollow...

    Great. I'm considering that I will order next my sticks to Warrior too if Easton doesn't continue producing 65flex stick. Can you remember what flex is lowest in Warrior providing? I've heard it is 55flex though... is this true?

    If my memory is correct, Scott doesn't make or insert shims. Also he doesn't have contouring machine for hockey skates. Everyone on this forum often make shims by themselves.
  15. Mimizk
    I think it's not better to use changing runner's pitch by contouring if you want over +/-2. I'm using 3mm shim and +1 or 2 pitch.

    SAK, can you explain this?

    I thought Jagr's strange band.

    I'm interested in that too. When I bought my spinners, I called my goalie friends to buy A-Trap spinners. But anyone didn't. 52/17/100 mean 0.052" of bottom width(outside) / 0.0017" of bottom height / 0.1" of bottom width(inside)? Then other story, I measured my 3 spinners with vernier calipers though, I felt the precision is so roughly. I have 90/50, 100/50 and 95/75. But 100/50 have smaller bottom diameter than 95/75. 100/50 was 30.9mm, 95/75 was 31.0mm and 90/50 was 31.3mm.

    Yeah I had read all of this thread so of course include your post and chart. It was very useful to understand about FBV, thank you. I measured my 3 spinners with vernier calipers and after calculated its edge angle. I could get almost same number as your chart. But I still wonder why Mark doesn't send me reply and change the chart if my thinking is correct.

    I've not been able to receive answer from Blackstone and Mark... The spinners which have "xx/50" bottom height escalate as 70, 72, 75, 80, 82, 90, 95, 85, 88, 92, 98, 100 in this chart. It's so wonder... Their heights are the same "50". So its bottom widths must mean each spinner's edge angles directly. If this thinking is not wrong, what any other factor changed the feeling? Of course I can't say it as I've experienced though, I can't believe that Blackstone's announce. They are writing 85/50 is deeper feeling than 95/50. Is there anyone who have similar feeling as Blackstone said?
  21. Mimizk
    Thank you Dave, I make this post to record correct information. Because I saw certainly number of information on the internet yesterday when I was looking for. "10 millionths", "10 thousandths", "thousandths"... etc For example in case of 90/50, 90 mean 0.090 inch of bottom width (picture's d). 50 mean 0.0050 inch of bottom depth (picture's h). And there is only a special number, "xx/1" mean as same as "xx/100", so it mean 0.0100 inch of bottom depth.

    Today I've received my 3 FBV spinners. Then I noticed that Blackstone announce as here. For example, from ROH 1-3/4" to 1-1/4", FBV escalate as same from 70-72-75-80-82/50. But they write 95/50 is shallower feeling than 85/50. Or also 92/50 or is deeper feeling than 95/50. Is there anyone who can explain this?
  23. Mimizk
    I can't realize how A-Trap spinners are used or the numbers what mean... For example, how about 52/17/100? And it comes with a set of 2 spinners though, we have to sharpen twice? or dressing twice and once sharpen?

    I got a message from a shop. I will receive this Finnish replica jersey soon...

    I think it's better to use something like Lock-Tight.
