	Hey everyone, I’m looking to get some opinions and real-world feedback on Bauer Aetrex, Bauer SpeedPlate, and Superfeet insoles. How has everyone’s experience been with these in terms of: Support (arch, heel lock, overall stability) Performance (stride power, edge control, energy transfer) Comfort and fit (break-in time, boot volume changes, hot spots, etc.) Durability and value over time If you’ve used one or more of these, I’d love to hear which worked best for you, what skates you’re using them in, and if you’d stick with them or switch next time. Thanks in advance — curious to hear everyone’s experiences!

	There's a pair of pro stock skates I'm interested in that says 10 DAT 7. What does the T7 mean? size 10D/A, toe cap 7?

	Found this but doesn’t answer all of them

	hello I was wondering if you could assist in identifying the curves on my chart. They are pro stock curves.
- 
	Have anyone used both used xc blade and flare blade? What were your thoughts? My worry is sharpening and it feeling completely weird
- 
	What is the pitch difference the xs holder and the edge holder?

	Bauer Vapor Skate Fit Evolution (2009–2025) Model | Heel Fit | Forefoot | Boot Height / Instep | Pitch | Fit Notes ----------------|------------------|--------------------|---------------------------|------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------- X:60 (2009) | Very narrow, deep V | Narrow, tapered | Very low | Very aggressive | Classic Vapor. Ultra-tight heel lock and shallow fit. APX (2011) | Narrow | Slightly wider | Still low | More aggressive | Added recoil tongue. More anatomical heel and wrap. APX2 (2013) | Narrow | Tapered, rigid | Low, stiff ankle wrap | Aggressive | Stiff plastic quarter. Heaviest feel of pre-1X Vapors. 1X (2015) | Narrow | Tapered | Low, better wrap | Aggressive | Lightweight Curv® build. Softer wrap, more form-fit. 1X 2.0 (2016) | Narrow | Tapered | Slightly higher instep | Slightly less aggressive| Improved liner comfort. Slightly more volume up top. 2X Pro (2019) | Narrow | Tapered, more toe space | Low-mid | Aggressive-balanced | Asymmetrical toe cap adds subtle width. Still snug heel. Hyperlite (2021) | Narrow-ish | Tapered | Taller instep | Less aggressive | Softer quarter. More flex in upper. Heel less locked-in. Hyperlite 2 (2023)| Narrow-ish | Tapered | Same as HL1 | Similar to HL1 | Refined wrap. Slight heel hold improvement. Flylite (2025) | Narrow to med-narrow| Tapered | Lower instep | More aggressive | Returns to tighter wrap like APX2 but modernized. Key Fit Evolutions (2009–2025): X:60 → APX: Tighter, more anatomical heel and stiffer wrap. APX2: More rigid, durable, with reduced comfort/flex. 1X: Big leap—lighter, more mobile, better thermoform fit. 1X 2.0: Slightly more upper boot volume—less toe pressure. 2X Pro: Slight forefoot width increase via new toe cap; boot feels more balanced. Hyperlite: Boot height increases, heel lock softens slightly, more flex. Hyperlite 2: Small refinements, improved heel lock with similar shape. Flylite: Brings back older locked-in feel with modern materials.

	I can’t find any in my size. That’s why I’m looking for the same pitch but a different holder. I can achieve the pitch with profiling. The following Data is according to ChatGPT. Correct the information if it’s incorrect Senior Skate Holder Pitch & Height Comparison Chart Holder Model Rear Tower Height Front Tower Height Pitch (Height Difference) Pitch Description Notes Easton CXN (SR) 2.875″ 2.125″ 0.75″ Very aggressiveforward All pitch comes from the holder Bauer Tuuk Edge (SR) 2.75″ 2.125″ 0.625″ Aggressiveforward Quick-release steel trigger Bauer Powerfly (SR) — — Unknown Likely forward-leaning Asymmetric stiffness, no height specs published CCM SpeedBlade +4.0 (SR) 2.75″ (est.) 2.125″ (est.) 0.625″ Aggressiveforward Same pitch and height as Tuuk Edge CCM XS (SR) — — Unknown Neutral to mild forward Consensus says flatter than Edge CCM Prolite 3 (SR) — — Unknown Possibly forward Anecdotal; no specs available

	Does anyone know what pitch the CXN holder was? I have a pair of makos on their last legs and found a pair of buy online but want to keep the pitch the same with new non Easton holders. Also I hate every other skate on the market currently. I have other skates that are decent but the mako is the best. I’ve tried true and absolutely hated them. The mako is the skate. Really wish Bauer didn’t suck and wish they never bought Easton. If Mako went back on the market, they probably would sell great again. It was the durability that did them in.

	  Switched from Edge Holder to XS Holder – Feel Slower?bthompson1286 replied to bthompson1286's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment i have two sets of the same skate. maybe one set edge and the other xs

	  Switched from Edge Holder to XS Holder – Feel Slower?bthompson1286 replied to bthompson1286's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment stiffer holder and I like the mechanism better than the trigger on the edge. maybe a better holder

	  Switched from Edge Holder to XS Holder – Feel Slower?bthompson1286 replied to bthompson1286's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment Using the same hollow and profile. Using bladetech steel. I just feel like response and pop if that makes sense.

	Hey everyone, I recently switched from the Edge holder to the XS holder and noticed something strange — I feel slower and less responsive overall. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m wondering if it’s just in my head or if there's actually a difference in performance or feel between the two holders. Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences. Thanks in advance!
