Yes its just a wooden plug. The heel lifts are to adjust the pitch on your skates putting you more on your toes.

My stick reads QRN only. There is no marking of T anywhere.

And that was my assumption; More protection than anything. Thanks guys

Pro Sticks are different in the way they are designed. It wouldn't necessarily have to be an Alpha stick dressed up to have the same taper. There has been talk of the pro stock QR1 and QRL sticks having a few different tapers. I know that mine do not have the retail taper. However looking at them the taper does look more like the Saber Taper.

Zac911, Thanks for taking the time to fill us in. Totally understand where you're coming from as a rep. I will say that I do like and respect the acknowledgment of Scott on the tendon guard and on the liner. Classy move on True's end.

Curious, is the Saber Taper similar or the same taper that we have been seeing on the PROSTOCK HOCKEY QR1 and QRL sticks?

Zac911, can you fill us in the reason for the plastic heel cup? I too am not a fan of it but can only assume the reason for it. Thanks

IW as well

This does raise a thought; Do you think the broken in whipped out shaft is why Brett Hull used a two piece setup up until he retired? He could get the shaft to where he liked it and then throw in a fresh blade. I do think new sticks always seem to feel the best after a skate or two.

Come on man; The guy in the video (Chase) is a good dude. He posts on here from time to time. No need for remarks like that.

I think that for the most part they will all fit very similar as they are being mass produced. But like jeans I don't think any two fit exactly the same. I had a bit of a different experience with skates, Bauer in particular. I was in the Supreme One 100's when the first TotalOnes came out. Then went to the NXG.9 (same size) Both fit the same. However the MX190's fit me like a Vapor in the forefoot which was a no go. I tried on a pair of X900's for the hell of it and they fit me like a Supreme but with a tighter heel (which I prefer). As its so commonly said on this site; You need to try them on.
