    For beginners or amateur skaters, I usually recommend an 12', or 13' single radius profile. This will give you more contact with the ice, allowing you to focus more on using your edges while helping you worry less about balance.

    If you are spending that kind of money, just go custom and request an oversized toe cap.
  3. VegasHockey
    For custom skates? There is no D/E/EE, the skate is built to the width needed.
  4. VegasHockey
    Those look great!

    There was a few. One that is still around is the Torch Hockey grip : http://www.proxrtorch.com/

    I'm excited about the I2 version personally.

    I haven't seen helicopter tape in person, I will have to order some

    YMMV. For example, I don't even us 3/4"on standard 3mm steel, I use a 1" or shallower. The XC Blade is 3.4mm in the middle, so you definitely want to adjust the hollow. When I tested it on 3/4" I almost killed myself catching edges on skating transitions.
  12. VegasHockey
    Yup
  13. VegasHockey
    You need to go with a more shallow hollow.

    I use this: https://www.amazon.com/CloudBuyer-Universal-Protection-Anti-Collision-Transparent/dp/B08535P2QH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1WVZTDEQTQBTI&keywords=clear%2Burethane%2Btape%2Bprotection&qid=1678856344&sprefix=clear%2Burethane%2Btape%2Bprotection%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-1&th=1

    Maybe his new skates are too stiff and inhibit forward flex. He also doesn't lace the top eyelet. Also, looking at his KHL pictures, it seems he always used semi-small tongues.

    They need to get some better ambassadors for hockey, Elliott McDermott is not an ideal "poster boy." 3 points in 35 games.... Maybe get Bedard to wear it 😉 Overall, I cannot disagree with what it does and the science behind it. Seems pretty straight forward.
  17. VegasHockey
    I personally Iike the way it looks.
  18. VegasHockey
    We are just comparing steel brands. Nothing specific to any holder type. Agreed. Finish is great but not durable.
  19. VegasHockey
    Yes. It's not very durable compared to the DLC process used by others.
  20. VegasHockey
    Agreed. Better quality steel is going to yield more ROI than any coating.
  21. VegasHockey
    Maybe this means CCM will finally start to trend, lowering the cost of their skates 😉 Fingers crossed!
  22. VegasHockey
    IMO, the coating all don't really add much, if any, performance value overall. Its more aesthetic. I would rather have 2 sets of stainless instead of one pair of DLC. If money is not an issue, then just get the DLC.
  23. VegasHockey
    They would feel mostly the same. The SB 4.0 holder is a little more rigid, though. Personally, I had using tools to have to swap steel, which is i why I dislike the SB 4.0 holders.
  24. VegasHockey
    No.
  25. VegasHockey
    I think it's great they are dumping it. As a store owner, I can tell you that the process is a nightmare for everyone other than the customer. As was mentioned, even after this guarantee is gone you can always buy skates at Pure Hockey and have 30 days to use and return if you dislike them.
