  1. Learn something new everyday. I had no idea that was what the numbers represented. I actually just bought a pair of NEW Catalyst Pro's in my size. I looked at the Catalyst 9x4 but did notice that they were a bit less stiff than what I am use to. These Cat Pro's seem to fit the bill. My plan is to switch out the holders to CCM XS so I can once again use Step Steel and be more at a pitch that I am use to.
  2. Thanks for all the feedback. I downloaded the True Scan app and it failed miserably. Had me in a size 7.75 W. I contacted True and they apologized and suggested the same as you all, a 9 Wide. I'm going to an actual store today to have them take my True scan their and see what it says as well. Thanks again and BTW, Does anyone know when the True Catalyst PX6 will be released?
  3. I've been using these stick now for a few years. Not the VF but the PSHS Original back in the day RED LINE and currently the OG BLUE and VS. skating twice a week without ever having any issue with any cracks or broken blades. A few went soft as expected later on and I broke one at the center of the shaft, but honestly was testing to see just how much it could take. And it was a lot. I would guess his issue was a one off and I'm sorry to hear about that as I'm a HUGE FAN of these sticks. As for you, I would highly recommend the OG BLUE. Don't let the price fool you. These sticks are awesome!
  4. I did not bake them in fear of not being able to return them if they didn't fit. Thank you for the advice. I will give this a try and report back with my experience. Thanks again.
  5. Hey there guys, Needing some help here. I'm shopping a pair of these skates online and needing some help with fit. I currently am in a pair of Bauer Mach skates, size 9 fit 2. I recently bought a pair of the Cat Pro's in a size 9 D and they were crushing my toes.in the toe box to the point that I couldn't get my foot completely in them. I reordered a pair of the 10 D and my foot fit in them with my toes against the toe box but after kicking the heel back they were better. With that said, My toes are still smashed in the toe box. I am thinking of sending them back for a size 10 E. in hopes that they will fit better but was just told from TRUE that Once the skates are baked you will gain about 1/4 to 1/2 size in length and width if that helps you. Now I'm really confused with what to do.. Any experienced help is VERY MUCH appreciated.
  6. I wanted to give an update on my new VS. Not going to make this long. The stick fires bombs. I should add that I am only in a league that does not allow slap shots. My wrist shots with this thing are (for me) lasers and snap shots are effortless bombs. The ref even said to me that with a snap shot that heavy I can only imagine what a slap shot would be like. Man, I could not be happier with this stick. They refer to this as a high kick but I would say it is a mid kick for sure. Slide that bottom hand half way down the shaft, get the puck under you and let'r fly!! PROSTOCKHOCKEYSTICKS VS is a GEM!!
  7. Curious, Would you consider in True Skates a D size as a Fit 1 or 2?
  8. i just received my VS yesterday. I'm a huge fan of the OG Blue so it will be interesting to see how this compares. They did not have my PRO9271 so I thought I would see what all the hype was about with the PRO9246 in the same flex. Will report back after my game on Sunday.
  9. I reached out and they said you can order it directly from them right now. Just need to call or email them. I'm not steel specialist but from the video I posted above this steel design sounds very interesting.
  10. Well I guess you can either give it some time and see if you don't improve or switch back. That's the beauty of options. I've considered moving to SX just for the Step Steel but in the end I decided to just stick with what I have.
  11. Curious, Why did you switch to SX in the first place?
  12. I have not ever used any holder other than the TUUKS. Tell us if you can. Are you actually slower? Meaning, are you losing races to the puck against players that you had beaten before? How long have you been on them? Could be just an adjustment period. What steel are you using in them? Are you using the basic steel whereas you may have been using a better quality steel in your Edge holders? Maybe a deeper hollow on these?
  13. I had bought a PRO1910 before as well. Its basically the CCM P19 which is more a Mid Heel P92. Really nice curve for sure.
  14. Agreed. I used it for years and actually still have 5 sticks. 4 OLD SCHOOL Easton S19"s and an old Warrior W04
