HT said they confirmed the stiffness with CCM. Europe has a different stiffness level than NA. Not sure why....
-
NA is 195, Europe is 215.

The weight and balance point have been changed. I think what he meant was it will feel even lighter than it measures on the scale. Been testing the JSFT6P for a bit now and am very impressed as it feels similar to the JSFT3P.

Technique.

Advice on Hyperlite tongues (possibly switching them)
VegasHockey replied to Allan1875's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Like these? https://www.hockeymonkey.com/ccm-hockey-accessories-xs-tongue-extra.html -
Most brand increase the size of S, M and L, so they eliminated the need for an XL.

Advice on Hyperlite tongues (possibly switching them)
VegasHockey replied to Allan1875's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
There are multiple XS tongues to choose from. Why didn't you just get a thinner tongue? That's an option too. -
Ventilation is better than the FT4 Pro, but would not claim it's significant. If anything, I feel the FT6 Pro is a mix of the Crazy Light + FT4 Pro shoulder pads. The bend didn't in the lower abdomen didn't bother me when playing, and was more of an aesthetic annoyance. However, every time I would hang my gear after skating, I would notice it and it would make my eye twitch 😉

FT6 Pro Shoulder Pad review: Sorry for the delay. Been super busy.

They also are horrible helmets. That's why Bauer did a single year release and then made the new Hyp2rlite helmet, lol.

Quad 2 vs Elipse 2 profile, anyone try both?
VegasHockey replied to Beflar's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Ellipse II feels much longer than a Quad II. -
CCM Replaceable Tongue Does Not Stay in Place
VegasHockey replied to 555's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Usually when that happens, the hole where the tab goes through is a little too small, and it puts pressure on the locking side of the tab. I would use a small file and just open that one hole up a little, and you should not have any more issues. -
The CCM 910 and 720 (new for 2023) fit a max size of 63cm. What is the circumference of his head?
-
Nope.

Correct. -
New Bauer Mach Skates - Damaged Eyelets?
VegasHockey replied to drmFF33's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
If the eyelets stretch more than this, Bauer might give you a hard time with the warranty and may not replace the skate. I would go back to the store and ask them to warranty the skates through Bauer directly. That way you get a new pair of skates and they keep the sale. -
Graphics are a little more durable, but still wear off quickly. I wish they would just use black nylon/plastic for the base and minimal print for the graphics. Like all brands did in the past.

You get what you pay for 😉
-
Since the liners are removable, you should be able to stitch new fabric over top of the worn areas. I would also recommend using some denier nylon in the high wear areas. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Denier-Cordura-Nylon-Fabric/dp/B00I80QH3S

I would personally do the CCM XS tongues so in the future you can replace the tongue again easily. -

VegasHockey replied to drmFF33's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
+1 Always do shrink wrap, it gives a much closer fit and doesn't put unnecessary stress on the skate boot. -

The area on the boot the allows the skate eyelets to wrap over the foot. -
