  1. They are in store, we have been selling them for a while. The holder issue resulted in a recall that affected stores, some had a small percent with issues while others had to send a significant portion of their inventory back.
  2. Will do. Been buried with a bunch of business things and traveling.
  3. About 10 hours on usage weekly, so roughly 160 hours of actual usage. I do think they test this, but thats more for durability and not the stick "losing pop."
  4. About 120 days. I use a lower flex stick so they seem to whip out rather quickly.
  5. They are as stiff but the boot does offer more forward flexion than the previous models.
  6. Get the new ASV-Pro. The cap has been redesigned slightly. More overall volume that the Jetspeed and Ribcor.
  7. I think you need to work on your shooting mechanics. I cant see how this is an issue with the curve, lie, or stick.
  8. 100K because the 80K and 70K didn't fit me at all.
  9. They are a franken-skate, similar to what Crosby, Tavares, and McDavid use. I imagine they are closer in design to the 80K/90K than anything.
  10. I have skated on them about 10 times. They are interesting and feel similar to Flare when it has been profiled. I couldn't use as shallow of a hollow on the XC Blade as I usually skate on with Flare, but the overall bite and glide felt comparable. I'll add more feedback after I get more time using them.
  11. The edge checker for Sparx does not. Not sure about Sparx ring bundles. Its usually easiest to find rings on eBay or SidelineSwap.
  12. Wide will have an oversized toe cap so you shouldn't have that issue in the forefoot. You might have problems though with heel lock, depth, or ankle wrap though in a wide skate.
  13. How long have you had the 100K? If under 90 days you can return them for a full refund and then pay the difference for a pair of custom skate.
  14. He is wearing the Re-Akt 85 custom.
  15. I have used other brands of "blade tape" in the past and was not impressed. So far the general consensus from all of the staff at the shop testing it has been very positive. My only complain is the graphics are a little "loud."
  16. I have to agree with these comments. I get maybe 2 months out of top end sticks and I am on the ice 5 days weekly.
  17. I tested a few repaired sticks last year, they just didn't have the same feel. I think money is better spent towards a new stick.
  18. Tight heel and a medium forefoot. Similar to an E/A fit, for the R width model.
  19. You using a skate oven or baking at home in a convection oven?
