    I just noticed yours look slightly different than mine. Specifically in the heel of the skate. You can see the differences in my video and IG pics.

    Interesting you went with LS holders, not LS Edge or VH/Step holders. Any reason why?
  3. VegasHockey
    Very wrong. A little concerning.

    That's shocking. I haven't baked mine yet and I can barely get my foot into the skate. It reminds me of the Mako II is so many ways. All of which are good.

    I did an unboxing and initial Impressions review of True skates but will be doing a baking and profiling video this weekend. I like to use a tension wrap and clamps anytime I bake my skates.

    165 grams is substantial. Did they both have Tuuk runners with Step steel? Steel is usually the biggest weight factor in skates.
  7. VegasHockey
    I have them. You can see them in my video.

    I didn't find many video reviews of the True skates so I decided to make an unboxing video. I am also going to record a video on baking them and profiling the steel. Will also make on ice reviews and some others videos as well depending on what people want to see. I I would have merged this with the main True/VH thread but felt it was unique and as such should have its own thread.

    Most performance footbeds, like SuperFeet and Bauer SpeedPlates are rigid but allow more surface area contact. I am not sure if having a more rigid insole does truthfully transfer more power through the skate but I know that the Bauer SpeedPlates feel much better to me than anything else. I have very high arches and the weight distribution really helps out.

    I have both but only in M size. Sorry :(
  13. VegasHockey
    I also would like to see an updated pic of the heel.

    I highly recommend suing ratchet clamps when baking if you want to get the best fit possible. You can buy them from your local Home Depot or Lowes, or if there is a Harbor Freight near you there are substantially cheaper. I purchased mine from Harbor Freight for about $4.99 each.

    What size do you need? What type of arch? I have a couple pairs.

    Why is channel depth irrelevant? Not arguing, just wondering why you feel that way? If I put a ZC on a set of steel and later sharpen the steel again without cutting a new ZC, some ZC still showing but not as deep as new, I can feel a significant bite difference.

    You can adjust the ProSharp to correct pitch. I am going to be making a video shortly discussing ProSharp profiling.
  18. VegasHockey
    Yes
  19. VegasHockey
    Yes, they do.

    So going from a traditional 5/8" with a wide ZC I should be able to go with a 1" roughly? What about ZC depth?
  21. VegasHockey
    Depressing. The Rekker line of sticks was absolutely my favorite. Great bang for the buck. Sucks.
  22. VegasHockey
    Wow. This can either be really good or really bad....
  23. VegasHockey
    What is the effect of the difference in width/depth of Z Channels? I currently use a 3/4 ROH with a wide ZC on a Quad 2 and have been considering fiddling around with my setup.
  24. VegasHockey
    I'm not sure if there has been a survey but I can tell you most, if not all, have some type of profile applied to their steel.
  25. VegasHockey
    Typically defense use a Quad 1 or Quad 2 with ProSharp. You can use a Quad 2 and still be very nimble and agile you just need to walk the ROH up. Also, consider a Z Channel. You can view the ProSharp profiles specifics here: https://issuu.com/elinmalmsten/docs/script-tryckfilus
