  1. A few questions re Mako steel: What tools are needed to remove and install Mako steel? Which steels are suitable for Makos? Are there any online merchants who sell Mako compatible steel on the cheap?
  2. Will lifts compromise the integrity of my boot?
  3. I have asymmetrical legs (my left leg is longer than my right). This is extremely debilitating to my left turns. I've attempted to remedy this by using a shorter steel on my left skate (I had some old skates that weren't being used and I cannibalized the steel). The result has been a significantly improved right turn but still plenty of room for improvement. I have 2 pairs of skates in circulation and noticed that the differential in length was greater on one pair. Unsurprisingly, my left turns were more fluid on that pair. Obviously I'm interested in experimenting with an even shorter steel in the hopes of improving my turns, but where to find them? Skates are Easton Makos
  4. Yea, I've noticed this as well. When I go up eyelets now I feel more stable but extremely restricted in movement
  5. I'm in the market for intermediate sticks in order to experiment with a lower flex. I currently use an array of senior sticks that measure anywhere from 61" to 62.5"; measurements are from the base of the toe to the end of the shaft leaning against a wall. I'm aware that there can be considerable variation in stick length between manufacturers. Which (if any) intermediate stick models will be of appropriate length?
  6. Thanks so much! That aspect of stickhandling is very difficult for me. I've been instructed to roll my wrists and "brush the puck", but unfortunately I often revert to bad habits.
  7. Opinion on these curves? They're both custom but seller hasn't offered further information
  8. Sorry, didn't see your question. Yes, what vet said. Nothing had improved my skating more
  9. What are my options for stock curves in these lies?
  10. I tried the Easton E36 curve and was impressed by it. Passing and backhands aren't quite as good as the PM9, but there's a discernable improvement in puckhandling and shooting. Furthermore, I was using the C3 stick, which is Eastons lowest-end model. In spite of that I'd choose it in a heartbeat over my $270MSRP Nexus with that horrendous P92 curve.
  11. I'd buy it if not for the high price. I have a $100 budget
  12. https://www.prostockhockey.com/hockey-sticks/player-sticks/right-aaron-asham-ribcor-trigger-asy-95-flex-stick/ This looks lovely
  13. I've never used P88. Comparable to the PM9?
  14. I recently switched curves from a PM9 to a P92. I loved the PM9 curve; the issue was the 5 lie was too low. The P92 is good for stickhandling, however it's difficult to keep passes on the ice and backhand due to the deep curve. I'm a playmaker/defender who's priorities are passing and stickhandling. I also would prefer a 5.5 or 6 lie. Which curve would suit me best?
