  1. Get the new ASV-Pro. The cap has been redesigned slightly. More overall volume that the Jetspeed and Ribcor.
  2. I think you need to work on your shooting mechanics. I cant see how this is an issue with the curve, lie, or stick.
  3. 100K because the 80K and 70K didn't fit me at all.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. The edge checker for Sparx does not. Not sure about Sparx ring bundles. Its usually easiest to find rings on eBay or SidelineSwap.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. He is wearing the Re-Akt 85 custom.
  10. 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."
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Tight heel and a medium forefoot. Similar to an E/A fit, for the R width model.
  14. You using a skate oven or baking at home in a convection oven?
  15. Yes, they are stiffer laterally. There is multiple option available; retail models, a Pro model, and Full Custom. Yes.
  16. Maybe I overlooked if he was going with a larger holder?
  17. A good shop that specializes in profiling would be able to fix that without swapping holders.
  18. Agreed MAX is taller, light, and stiffer. Wrap is about the same. The stiffness has been adjusted as they feel stiffer laterally, but forward flexion has been increased for better range of motion.
