I think that’s true as well, some of the much earlier VH models we saw for repairs and sharpenings did not have that flat spot at all. I think as you ordered closer to the rebranding they addressed that. I’m guessing that little plastic piece helps, at least going off what our rep told us.

Ive done 15+ with the holder and 2 where the customer provided GRAF holders. Only the STEP holders get the insert. I assumed they added it (being the holder) because it sits better on the naked carbon heel. I've a few Gen 1 and 2 where the heel of the holder is warped/bent because they didn't have a flat surface to be mounted on pre-TRUE

FYI, Price is in one of the first pros now VH 2-piece models, closely resembling the Bauer 1S as it's a reinforced boot with a Step/VH proprietary holder and steel combo. Should be available to us around Dec-Jan from what I was told by VH. No chance he goes back to Graf.
