Agreed. I used it for years and actually still have 5 sticks. 4 OLD SCHOOL Easton S19"s and an old Warrior W12

My bad. P89. Bauer

helmet91; Not trying to stir the pot here and truthfully your son may not notice but wanted to make you aware that the only part of the 1616 that resembles the P106 is the blade shape. The actual curve is more similar to a P89 (DARBY) with a toe curve. See below. Description: Very slight loft from the heel like the "Darby" for all the old timers and then has a nice toe curve but still a very modest curve overall.

I personally love everything about them. They are built like tanks and are my most comfortable skates to date. I was extremely bummed that they went away from this design as I feel the most power I have ever gotten out of a boot and love the comfort and protection of the tongues.

As you should. The person at Bauer did say that as they will not take a return but that they will rework them. I think in all actuality, if they scan your foot and send the scan to Bauer with any additional comments/ notes they should be able to take care of you. For SnG's, Maybe download the TRUE Foot scan App and take a photo of your foot through that and have them send that with the other info just to have all your bases covered.

Either way I hope this at least helps. For what its worth I'm a huge Bauer fan myself and thankfully can get away with an incredible fit with the FIT 2 in my Mach Supremes. I have actually bought a second pair in fear that the next/newest wont fit the same.

Ok here you go. Directly from Bauer Hockey. Hey Andrew, So No on a fit 0 however if you do Pro Custom through a retailer they can add notes and see your scan to take away as much space as possible. No Problem, was this the route you were looking at to begin with? 10:44 am yes but they couldn't guarantee a perfect fit. 10:45 am Ok, yes it will require the retailer to add as many notes as possible to make sure it aligns with the scan. 10:46 am If they don't fit correctly/ to my liking can I return them? 10:47 am No returns on custom skates We can re-work them but No returns

It grows on me a bit more each day.

As I don't have the answer to the question of a Fit 0 I would simply ask my local pro shop or contact Bauer directly. If you still cant get an answer. May I suggest you make your life easy and and go with the new True SVH Customs where they actually build the skate from the inside out around your actual foot shape, Just a suggestion.

Scott Says that this is now a more neutral pitch in the video about the new skate attached.

All I did was reach out to them and first asked if they had what I was looking for (like mine) not on the website. They didn't so I asked if they could do a custom mold. They said yes and told me the price. I agreed to it and sent them an extra stick that I had with the curve that I wanted. They sent me CGI photos of it for approval and then developed the blade. I cant remember how many weeks it took but I thought it was fair due to what I was wanting. I should add that the blade came out absolutely perfect. So now they have the curve and it is available upon request. That's why I would ask first if someone has already requested to have this made.

Depending on how committed you are to these specs, You could always ask to have this curve custom (at a price) made for you. I had a curve made for me and was extremely happy with how it came out. It would also be best of you had an example that you could send of what you were looking for.

I'm sure in time it'll happen. But I know that he's always been about providing a great stick for a great price, And to think now he would have 5 different sticks to customize with all the different choices. I cant even begin to guess how much it would cost him to keep this all organized and running. Gotta give it to the guy though. He makes a great stick for a great price. I have done a couple custom orders (Wood Grain finish with the basketball grip was a nice touch) but in the end I found that I'm happy with the specs on the sticks he has in stock. Love the mid kick with the rounded square shaft, grip with no texture and sandpaper blade. Works for me. Especially for the price.

These are being sold on this side under the True brand.

I cant speak to the VF as I have not tried it but I can say that the OG Blue has been extremely consistent for me in terms of flex from one to the other. Not to mention that for $109 US plus tax and freight. I'll take that all day! . As for balance and weight. I laugh at people about this because it can easily be rectified by spending some time in the gym and actually getting stronger and conditioned rather than nit picking about this sort of thing. We were all playing with 415 gram plus sticks just a few years ago.
