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!!

Curious, Would you consider in True Skates a D size as a Fit 1 or 2?

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.

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.

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.

Curious, Why did you switch to SX in the first place?

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?

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.

Agreed. I used it for years and actually still have 5 sticks. 4 OLD SCHOOL Easton S19"s and an old Warrior W04

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
