8-10 min Yes, this is exactly what I am referring to. The new thin tongue easily gets creased when baking and slightly compressed. I think it makes it look ugly.
-
Well, we of course cant forget this one too then.
-
Usually as tight as the player asks for. I personally just dont like how the tongue gets all smooshed looking.
-
I don't like how the tongue gets compressed when do you do a long bake with the skates and prefer to do the tongue separately after I bake the skates.
-
I like to remove the tongue, leave the top 3 or 4 eyelets undone, lace them 70% tight, and then use saran wrap from the forefoot to the top of the ankle.

I think the Nike Air Zoom was the ugliest skate ever. https://www.bardown.com/the-6-weirdest-skate-designs-in-hockey-history-1.1348415

The solution should not require needing to go with custom skates to avoid ugly aesthetics. If anything, make the general retail model more streamlined and offer customers that are much more extravagant. It seems like anytime we hit the pinnacle of ugly-looking hockey equipment the manufacturers always find a way to take it to the next level.

I hope they tone down the graphics when its released.

Bauer Face Shield vs CCM Mask
VegasHockey replied to beerleaguecaptain's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Didn't know these were the correct ones. I thought they would be Bauer/Mission. -
Bauer Face Shield vs CCM Mask
VegasHockey replied to beerleaguecaptain's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
The UA ones are super nice. I haven't seen the Mission ones. Can someone share a link to them? I looked online and couldn't find them. -
I still would remove the graphics. Its just too flashy for me and once the graphics start to flake off the skate will look terrible.

SWOT - Super Light Senior Shoulder Pad
VegasHockey replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Maybe I'll give the STX RX a try again and remove the bicep guards. -
Ironlace Unbreakable Hockey Laces
VegasHockey replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
That was my main concern that without any elasticity the laces might cause lace bite or uneven pressure. -
SWOT - Super Light Senior Shoulder Pad
VegasHockey replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I had the RX3 before. It was a nice pad but still a little too much for my needs. I bought the Vapor X2.9 shoulder pads and they were ok, but not ideal, i ended up selling them after a few weeks. Lately I have been wearing my lacrosse shoulder pads. I wish more of the hockey shoulder pads were designed in a similar manner. -
Looks interesting
-
You have to heat mould them. That's why you are having pain.
-
Im not overly picky about style but even I wont wear anything this ugly... Good thing the new Ribcor skate will be one-piece and looks very tame in comparison.

CCM AS3 Pro Skate Initial Thoughts
VegasHockey replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
The FT1 is slightly less stiff compared to the AS3. The AS3 is between a FT1 and a FT2. -
Came across this on Reddit.... Goodness that skate is ugly.

Where in CA are you? I know some very good shops I can recommend.

Byonic patented universal skate blades
VegasHockey replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I'll have some demos units in hand Monday to evaluate. I'll do a video. -
IMO, the FT3 Pro and Trigger 5 Pro are both excellent compared to the Flylite in regards to performance, feel, and durability. CCM has really stepped up their game compared to everyone else.
