    You basically answered your own question. If they build the shim into the skate it will not be removable but if you have external lifts added you can add, remove, or adjust them if needed. I always recommend external vs internal because of of such.

    Take some time off. It might be good to step away for a bit. The good news is you can always come back 🙂

    Why did you need to be re-scanned?
  4. VegasHockey
    Whats finny is usually I have the opposite problem as you. My teams always buy these XXL/XL jerseys that are HUGE on me and look more like a dress than a jersey. lol

    That stuff is fine. You can also go to Home Depot or Lowes and get it too. Its pretty easy to find just about anywhere.

    Some players tend to rely on the stiffness of the skate boot to compensate for lack of skill or ankle strength. Too often I have parents wanting to buy their young kids top of the line youth/junior skates that are very stiff. I have to spend considerable time talking them out of spending money on something that may prevent their children from properly developing the correct muscles and edge control organically. In their mind, expensive means better and they want to get their kids the best tools available. Too foten I see them flexing the skate collar comparing a pair of AS1 vs a pair of Ribcor and they say the Ribcor is cheap without understanding specifically why the Ribcor is designed with flexibility.

    Depending on the scan and skate selected CCM will make adjustments to the facing if needed, even if the customer doesn't specify such.

    I have to agree. This looks totally normal.

    Take it to someone who does air brushing, have them mask and paint the events and coat it with an acrylic so it will last and not chip. Should be quite cheap.

    Why are you using either of those options? You are just ruining your gloves. Use this: https://www.krylon.com/products/fusion-allinone-clear/

    I use these socks and they are fantastic https://zenkaisports.com/products/zenkai-hockey-compression-lace-bite-sock/

    The shrink wrap method will remove all negative space if you do enough wraps so you shouldn't need to use the clamps. Just have them keep going around until it feels super snug, then wrap it one more time.

    Hey, if it works thats all I care about. lol
  14. VegasHockey
    Yes, if you are a bigger guy a softer skate may not support your weight properly.

    Weird. PM me your order number and I will see what I can find out. What store location did you go to?

    https://www.swothockey.com/product-page/copy-of-super-light-sr-shoulder-pad Anyone ever seen these in person? They look like a decent option for those wanting some shoulder/chest protection in a breathable and light package.

    email skatesales@true-sports.com with your order info, and they will give you an ETA.

    I would say about 1mm per each donut pad.

    I find the weight difference between my two pairs of TRUE skates significant, almost 0.4lbs per skate.

    Krylon clear gloss plastic spray paint. It's basically like grip. This stuff. https://www.krylon.com/products/fusion-allinone-clear/

    Honestly, you won't even notice the steel because the holder is so much taller. It's dramatically taller than a TUUK or CCM holder and very stiff. I would rather have the weight reduction than extra steel and a weight penalty. Also, that is why TRUE provides two pairs of steel with the new skates too which I think is nice. Overall, I have been very impressed with it. I have the bad luck of getting shot often at games, no idea why, maybe cause I like to park in front of the net. On our game the other night I got blasted a few times in the feet and holder and I am thankful that I has TRUE skates. If I was wearing my others I may have had a broken foot. Trust me, have someone like Shane Doan taking clap bombs in your direction all game is scary enough to keep you awake all night.

    This stuff is my jam! I use it on so many things at the shop. It also works great on stick butt-ends too. After you tape your stick it just put a light coat on. I haven't tried it on a blade, yet, but I use very little tape on my blade anyway. https://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-07315001126-LTB-400-Electrical/dp/B000FPAN2K/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_263_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=R1DY4WA08ZC4EWWRQB5G I have been going back and forth with the speed plates in this iteration of the skates and the factory insoles. I find they both have their positives and negatives. I am still testing to see which I prefer.

    Tacks 910?
  24. VegasHockey
    You could just use a dremel and cut out the spaces between the holes. That's what I did on my J clips.

    One of the guys I skate with uses these. Its basically a huge piece of D3O but he swears by them. Only others I can think of that are low profile are the STX Surgeon. https://www.amazon.com/Demon-United-Mountain-Impact-Technology/dp/B07J1ZTRDT/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=d3o+elbow+pad&qid=1568826687&sr=8-1
