Undersized vs standard vs oversized holder swap
VegasHockey replied to boshebetka's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Says who? You can bake TRUE skates as many times as you want, unlike Bauer and CCM. In fact, TRUE specifically tells retailers to perform a full bake. If a retailer tells you otherwise, they are either misinformed or lazy. For custom skates, they do not have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. TRUE will remake the skates if needed, but unless there are significant extenuating circumstances, they will not issue a refund and will instead work with the customer to get the skates made to fit properly. -

Yeah, the sizing seems excessive. What does the TRUE brannock show your sizing as? -
Are the newer Ribcore skates the highest volume CCM skate?
VegasHockey replied to beardacus's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Custom. -
I don't think it's too difficult, but it does take practices, and you will need to dedicate time to perfecting your technique.
-
Expect TRUE to be priced the same as CCM and Bauer in 2024 😞

I like the 2024 Catalyst skate design. Best looking retail skate they have ever made. https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:968e037d-fb71-4110-ba3d-4778ab89e1d1

What is "urinal wear"?
-
Grit is not the only factor, the wheel composition is even more important.
-
Always test fit retail TRUE skates with a bake. Trying them on without baking will result in you getting the wrong size.
-
Oh yeah, I forgot they made that unit. Honestly, it's a toss up, as both machines will get the job done equally. If you are going to be transporting the unit, the Blackstone has an overall better design, IMO.
-
Are you going to buy this to do FBV? https://shop.blackstonesport.com/spinner-system-adapter/product/convertible-spinner-system If so, that puts the price of the Wissota above the Blackstone machine.

100 grit would be nice for a very fine finishing pass, but you could get the same result with these wheels and using some finishing pass oil or wax. https://wholesaleskatesharpening.com/product/grinding-wheel-wissota/ https://wholesaleskatesharpening.com/product-category/sharpening-lubes/

Not available at retail.

Correct.
-
They now have stores in every single NHL market in the US. BTM in AZ was the last hold out, but they recently sold too.
-
Vapor is lower cut than the Supreme.
-
Not shocking considering Sharks Ice and Pure Hockey own the entire market share up north. It's hard to be a small business owner when the big brands make it nearly impossible to get accounts, limiting your ability to order or carry product.
-
P14 and P88 are the same lie and overall blade profile. Very flat.
-
I wouldn't say more padding, just higher density foams. Agreed. Incremental changes.

That's why I use this when I sharpen https://shop.blackstonesport.com/custom-skateworks/product/free-runner

NHL Learn to play equipment and Radius change on youth skates ?
VegasHockey replied to noupf's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
So he is going from youth to junior. All CCM junior skates are 10' but Bauer does 13' https://www.bauer.com/products/bauer-x-ls-skate-junior https://www.bauer.com/products/bauer-x-lp-skate-junior If you get Bauer, you will be fine. If you get CCM, take them to a local store and get them profiled to a 13'. I am a big fan of putting kids of that age on a longer radius. -

VegasHockey replied to noupf's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
What size skate is he? Some skated in youth sizes keep the 13' profile. -
I would do a 10/13 profile and have the pivot point moved back 10mm.
-
I have used both and they are somewhat similar. The Quad has an adjusted pivot point, -20mm, so it moves the center of gravity back. The pivot point adjustment and more aggressive toe, 7' radius, pitch you forward. The 10/13 without any adjustment will feel more flat, and you will be less agile. What type of skater are you? Long strides? Short strides? Agile? Powerful? What level do you play?
