    Almost looks like he tapes it and then shaves the bottom portion of the tape off. I can't tell by this picture.

    Good question. Not sure. I am taking this all with a grain of salt as it's a version 1.0 product. As I install more I'll report back, we have had a steady stream of players bring them in for mounting and as shipments go out I expect even more.

    had pain in my arch, right behind the ball of my foot. I cut that section out of the red insole and the pain went away. I think there was too much lift in the arch in my case. I also noticed that Baier SpeedPlates worked well for me too.
  4. VegasHockey
    Agreed!

    I wonder if its a specific hollow or type of ring that causes the steel to burr more than others.
  6. VegasHockey
    This seems reasonable.

    General feedback is that players felt much slower though more stable. Even after adjusting the blade profiling, pitch and ROH the players all felt too far back on their heels or that they were digging in too deep. What I noticed is the higher the level of player the more they disliked the Marsblade. The other feedback was that it felt like there was a delay in the holders and they were not as responsive. Maybe with a revised version if they cast them out of some material other than carbon composite they will lower the weight which might help resolve these complaints.

    Played with one and hated it. Wayyyyyy too light. Not sure if any of the players using it in the NHL are even using the real.thing or just something dressed to sell.... It felt like a shaft with no blade. It was weird....

    The customer said it was a factory defect. Not sure as we didn't fit him and he got the skates in Vancouver. I swapped the holders for him though and sent TRUE an email with the customer's information. First time I have ever seen a VH/TRUE holder with a defect.
  11. VegasHockey
    Out of the 10 holders I have installed 9 of the players have gone back to their previous holder. Not a lot of positive feedback so far.... What other feedback are others seeing?

    Sad day when a customer comes in with this......

    I used a gummi stone. Cheaper and likely works the same, or even better. Its also cheaper.

    We tried that and its not the case. The Marsblade holders dont have the same aggressive height and pitch when compared to VH/TRUE holder, for example. They are very neutral. I also think that since the front is "locked" while the rear of the holder flexes the current profile players are using will likely feel strange. We are seeing players use an aggressive toe with a very long heel. 8-10 in the front and 13-26 in the rear. It all depends on the specific person though and their skating profile. I'll report back as more players provide me with feedback. I am concerned there are no replacement blades available yet as profiling, especially if you go from one extreme to the next, takes off a decent amount of steel every time.

    I dont lace the top two eyelets in the AS1 or FT1/FT2 and dont lace the top eyelet in the TRUE skates. I think in my next TRUE order I am going to ask them to use fewer eyelets and not to put in a top eyelet.

    Anyone know why CCM doesn't use D30 in any of their skates?
  18. VegasHockey
    Interesting. That explains why so many people are asking me to profile them.
  19. VegasHockey
    You just need to email them for a status update.
  20. VegasHockey
    Can you ask him the specific profile they are applying to the steel? It doesn't seem to be a standard single radius 10' since when I check it with the ProSharp profile checker I get different results at different areas of the blade. It actually seems like it might be a dual radius profile.
  21. VegasHockey
    Through retailers, yes. We sell them. I am not sure if Flare will sell direct.
  22. VegasHockey
    Not yet. I have been hounding them to make it for the VH/TRUE holder but they just dont see enough of a demand. Maybe now that TRUE is only shipping skates with the VH/TRUE holder they will reconsider.
  23. VegasHockey
    I have a shit ton of E700 helmets in black, white and navy, laying around that are brand new, but they are all XS and Small in size. Anyone who wants sone is welcome to it. Just pay for shipping.
  24. VegasHockey
    Weird. What kind of steel?
  25. VegasHockey
    Yes, should not be a problem. Are you using any oils or glaze? Are you doing a slow final pass?
