  1. We also tested the Nexus Geo, AS3 Pro, Trigger 5 Pro, and TRUE Project X, all of which ranked high. If you included those in the testing it changed the ranking considerably. I also had time to collect more info from players on some other sticks we tested as well that I originally didn't include. The ranking was as follows with those included: CCM FT3 Pro CCM AS3 Pro CCM FT2 Bauer Flylite Bauer Nexus Geo CCM Ribcor Trigger 5 Pro CCM Trigger 4 Pro Bauer Nexus 2N Pro TRUE Project X CCM AS2 Pro Bauer Ultrasonic Bauer 2S Pro Sorry for the delay in updating this.
  2. Their sticks are overpriced and too heavy for the cost.
  3. The stick did in fact get the hands on multiple occasions. I don't think it was intentional, he just had poor control of his stick.
  4. Slashing someones hands doesn't always have to occur from top down as it can come from underneath if you get the players hands and not the stick.
  5. You dont think the first defensemen, on the boards, change his lane and foot speed in an attempt to play the body and take away the lane, after the puck had been chipped up the boards? The stick did get into the hands multiple times. Its really hard to tell with this low quality video trash.
  6. They holders are very similar, TUUK Edge vs CCM XS, the biggest difference is in the options for steel.
  7. The holder holes line up fine. I would get the XS holder. The older generation of holder will slowly be phased out.
  8. I was told the same thing. I wonder though if the sizing becomes off once you hit a certain length, for example, anything over a size 5.0 the sizing becomes more skewed than in an intermediate/junior skate? I know many individuals who bought skates for their younger kids, sizes ranging between 3.5-5.0, and they said the skates fit perfectly without any issues. It could be kids of that age don't really know how a skate should fit or maybe they struggle with conveying a sizing issue if there is one. I just wonder if the issue is more with certain specific sizes more than others. Many individuals who have had sizing issues are in senior skates with sizes ranging between 6.0-9.0, myself included.
  9. Interference? Slashing? Penalty shot? You make the call. https://streamable.com/6cbiif My apologies for the TERRIBLE Live Barn quality.
  10. Maybe they are paying him? Looks like he may be using Flare steel too. They don't look too wide. I think it's the angle. 😉
  11. Always file a claim after 7 days if the package missing its delivery date. This triggers them to look for the item to deliver it and many times, as mentioned, you will get credited back for the shipping or sometimes even the item value.
  12. Ugliest stick ever but at least you can quickly tell what brand it is from even a mile away. I wonder if it has sold well at the retail level? I also think the new AS3 Pro stick is ugly but the younger kids love the look. I'm personally a minimal graphic kinda guy. All these stupid graphics do is add weight and then look ugly when the stick gets all banged up.
  13. I think I've only seen him use Bauer Vapors.
  14. Awesome. Seems to have worked out well then 🙂
  15. I would have stuck with the 5.5 unless they were so small they crushed his feet. Foams will break in and the 5.5 would have fit perfectly once they broke in a little bit. I guess the good thing about a size 6 is if his feet grow at all he will have a little bit of space.
  16. I put 272 on my 6.5 TF9. They fit perfectly. From the factory they had 254.
  17. Yeah, too bad the retail model will be a bit more flashy 😞
  18. It's not just durability. I just prefer grey or black palms as they dont get dirty or dingy.
  19. The 2S Pro glove is nice but the palm wears too quickly. For a $200 USD glove, I expect the materials to be more durable.
  20. I mailed skates from the US to Finland over 8 weeks ago and they are still in transit. Shipping times are insane right now!
  21. It's usually easier and more cost-efficient to bring new steel to a pro shop to have them cross grind the steel even and put on a fresh hollow.
