    I noticed the same thing. The stick didn't have a good feel and the blade felt dead. It is light overall, but I think they took the weight of the shaft and went with a cheaper blade because, as you mentioned, it does feel blade heavy.

    Never seen that one. I also dont see it on the list either. https://imgur.com/a/TFMDRWz

    I think they only do that on a very specif case-by-case basis now.

    I wonder how this translates into a stiffness rating? If anything, the player prefers a more flexible boot.

    I've tried every insole in either my skate or working with customers. If you have a very high profile foot which requires a lot of volume an aftermarket footbed will likely cause issues. This is why I recommend the SpeedPlates, especially now that v 2.0 has been released. They conform to the boot and your arch and take up almost no space in the boot. Chase at Pure is an awesome guy. I work with him all the time. You need to be speaking with Rob or someone at True though, likely, they will ask you to send in the skates so they can make modifications to them, assuming they can modify the places you are having issues. Otherwise, they will make you a new set of skates. I understand your frustration if you documented, noted, and even provided pictures of the spots where you have foot issues. True really will work with you as best as possible to try and get it resolved. In my experience they have always gone above and beyond exceeding expectations for customer service.

    That's awesome to hear. Once you get then dialed in they are very comfortable and offer great performance. Can you do me a favor and weight them please. Interested in knowing how much the new model weights in grams.

    Looks like True/VH chnaged their carbon weave. https://photos.app.goo.gl/EWj3BgQSz2jigrkT8

    I have a customer is wanting to place an order for a new set of Bauer Supreme skates and is looking at the 2S and the 2S Pro models. Despite some minor cosmetics, the tongue, eyelet system, and other little changes, such as the steel, is the boot essentially the same between the two? We do carry very much Bauer in stock so I cannot compare in person. I figure I would ask others who might have access to them to analyze.

    Very possible. I would do another bake. Also, I never recommend lacing up the skate to the top eyelet when baking. It provides too much wrap at the top of the foot and limits forward flex. When you then use the skates the heel can lift a little due to not being in the proper skating position from when you baked.

    If I paid that cost, the skates had better fit 100% perfect. My AS1 and FT1 were both purchased under CCM EPP so I was more open-minded.
  11. VegasHockey
    I think its a few things. The shape of Step is different, the steel is better and holds an edge longer. The skates also allow the player to have better posture.

    Some of our customers that have heel slippage swap to different insoles that have a more tacky feel. I did notice the includes insoles are a bit slippery. You could always put some "show goo" on the heel of the insole to help add some grip.

    If you have to lace your skates this way you are in the wrong model/type or incorrect size. You should never need to do something like this. When was the last time you say a pro-NHL player doing something like this? Never.

    Why do you feel you need a stiffer skate? What level of hockey are you playing? The FT1 and AS1 are both VERY stiff skates.

    365 grams!? Are you sure about your scale measurement? Perhaps you are referring to the boot only? Also, 2 weeks is usually during the offseason. Right now true skates are taking between 4-6 weeks.

    Use a scotch pad and scuff it up so it gives the adhesive something to grab on to.

    I had Lasik done at the Orange County LASIK Institute. Before Lasik I was nearly blind and could not do much of anything without glasses or contacts. After Lasik I have better than 20/20 vision. I was concerned before I got it that my astigmatism would result in a mixed outcome but I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I actually use multiple 5K displays for my day job and have no issues with seeing the fonts at full resolution. I had my procedure completed in 2012.

    I wear a 7.0 EE in Bauer and a 7.5 EE in CCM. What is interesting is the newest Bauer skates I also wear a 7.5, so it seems like anything pre-2018 from either company I wear a half size smaller. What was the most unexpected is I wear an 8.0 in the Nexus 2 skates.

    Last I checked it was $150 per stick with a minimum of 6 sticks. That's shop cost. Otherwise, it's full MSRP + custom costs.
  22. VegasHockey
    I like the P92M, but I wish they made a P88M too.

    With proper fitting skates this is the way they should always fit. I think people have just worn I'll fitting skates for so long they think they need to crank on the laces. I barely tie any of my skates except for the eyelets that lock the ankle. The top I leave loose and wide open. I have pretty strong ankles which I guess helps too.

    The clamp on the ProSharp doesn't correctly grab the Flare steel. Do you need a Blackstone spinner or a Sparx? I am sure I have a few extra laying around I can send you.

    I have an ALPHA AK27 SL that is 75 flex and 85 flex laying around that I am planning to toss on sidelineswap for cheap pretty soon. Have an Alpha QX as well. Only used them to perform a review. Now they are just taking up space in the shop.
