When go to shooting block with standing, often we get a puck at toe though, I didn't feel nothing wearing VH boots. This is truth. I don't know it's construction or reason why VH boots effect such great toughness, but this is a fact.
-
No, I didn't ask him about contour. I ordered him boots only so I attached holders and runners and contoured in a shop near my house. I don't know whether he have contouring machine for hockey...

I went to free skate with a friend yesterday. The friend was using Bauer boots and laced it up with full eyelet. I've laced my boots without top eyelet because I've felt general boots' construction is too upright for my skating and ankle. But yesterday I thought to try full lacing up. I felt so good. MLX, Mako or our VH boots are designed deep angle of ankle. So probably I didn't feel not better. But my legs are bow shaped so feel pain around shin between tongue.
-
I don't know detail of the problem. So I'm glad if someone can consider about that with my pics. Then this is just my thinking though, if we regard that Davetronz's thinking is correct, the construction is too weak for hockey boots. I was thinking that it might decrease the number of the problem if the tendon guard received our power in flex. But if it has coursed by out power or damage for example you get a puck to your boot from side or back, there is no relation between the broken problem and flexing tendon guard. By the way, I re-baked my skates today for changing tongue. from cut genuine to custom thicker felt one. I feel so better. Also changed laces from 96" to 84". Contoured again by Blademaster's Custom Radius, moved center point 2mm back, same 13' radius and +2 pitch. Total 870g/one side. This is back.
-
Yes, it seems attached the same method as genuine tendon guard. But I don't have experience that tendon guard broken so I really hard to say its durable because I don't know the reason or mechanism of that. Though as already I wrote, I think this flexible tendon guard have a certainly possible to solve the problem for the reason.
-
here is a pic. Definitely, if the broke reason what you guys' tendon guard were too solid to receive your ankle turning power, this flexible guard may be a better idea to solve the problem. But Mako's tendon guard is more silky back move.
-
Have you ever seen any skates which have flexible tendon guard? Easton's Mako... or now we can see the similar feature in some models of Bauer's. OK, I will take a pic and post on this topic.
-
I replaced it from genuine to flexible one. It is not softer as I thought though certainly move to back.
-
Actually, I thought nothing have changed seemingly from normal tendon guard to this flexible one. And I felt it's not softer than Mako's. Also I realized that we have to change the form from more bottom area of heel if want to achieve more kicking amount of ankle.
-
I already bought this over 2months over though finally finished all customizations so post a pic. Really amazing skates. No need any words for these boots.
-
Finally I completed tuning. Boots... VH Footwear custom with flexible tendon guard Tongues... cut off VH's genuine tongue around toe box and top Holders... Tuuk Lightspeed2 263 Edges... Step Steel V-Speed XL Shoelaces... nowaxed 96" Insoles... Sidas Conformable Contouring... 13' radius, +1 pitch and slide center point 1mm forward by Blademaster machine Sharpening... BFD X7 Shims... 3mm heel lift shim and 2+1mm medial side shim If I want more than this, I may keep them when I will order new skates for me, probably 1or2 years after.
-
Thank you Scott, Also I have received a reply from the other VH person. I have sent you emails twice but it might not reach for you. I was worried about perhaps you were sick!
-
Thank you Davetronz. I've sent an email to Shawn for asking Scott's state.
-
He already received my parcel before he gone to vacation.
-
I sent my skates back to Scott at 13, June. I was taught from some people on this thread that Scott might be in his long vacation. I don't know that detail. But I think now is the term of beginning conditioning camps in Canada, isn't it? Of course vacation or holiday need for him. But I wanted to be taught if he already had a plan for the vacation. If I knew that schedule, I didn't send my skates back and continued using because it is not repair but just customize. Probably I sent after his vacation would be over. I checked VH's website though I couldn't find something like schedule information. Does anyone know about his vacation term?
-
I wonder when will it go to the end that the long weekend of Canada?
-
I sent my skates back to Scott but now I've been not able to receive reply from him. This is very rare for Scott. I'm waiting my skates for changed flexible tendon guard and thicker tongue.
-
I don't know correct English for "no-face" sorry... How do you say that wearing only helmet without cage or visors?
-
Ofcourse this cage can't be used in official matches. Though in ordinary icetime or recreation matches, we can even choose no-face by our own judges. Always I play hockey with visor or no-face, so I think this Cateye is safer than no-face and this is just a fashion I thought it might be a similar as helm of Vikings if there was half Cateye cage.
-
Cateye cage for player. 270g in contrast with ordinary plastic visor's 80g...
-
I don' know actually numbers how many NHL players have been attaching longer holder and steels on their skates. These are 2 extreme example though the larger holder and steel can reach somewhere genuine holder couldn't. Of course maybe there are the other reasons for several players, but I think now we can incarnate one's wish or thinking about skating with genuine size holder and contouring adjustment. I think that the half or more of current large holder tuning is just reminder of the age that contouring system and grinders didn't prevail in the public.
-
I explained my issue to Scott, then was suggested to use thicker tongue.
-
I think so too... but it's little expensive, 2000$. >http://www.blackstonesport.com/product_details.cfm?product_id=187 I think It may be able to use any sharpeners if the dresser fix on the table and its bit certainly adjust the same height as sharpener's grinder stone.
-
One is a felt made and the other one is like genuine but cut the upper and nose shorter. I don't ask him nothing about felt tongue though not either for short solid tongue. I marked on the genuine tongue with tape and pen. I don't like genuine tongue's feeling around inside of toecup or too long top amount.
-
I sent my boots back to Scott some time ago. It will return after changed to flexible tendon guard and combine with new 2 tongues and replaced genuine tendon guard.
