What size skate does he wear?

.... or you could just order pro stock for 1/3 the price 😉

What are these Overdrive enhancements? I went to your website and am still not clear on what they are and what they do.

Bingo.

Makes me wonder though if a player actually feel that slight off mounting? I was poking around online and found some other Pro Stock skates with oversized holders. To be honest, they also look like they are mounted very far forward as well. One of them was a pair of 280 holders on a 7.5 skate, for example.

What was the cost on that? The work looks very good.

Pics. Looks like they didn't drill any new holes in the rear and either made the holes in the forefoot larger or drilled new holes.

I'll have him snag a photo and email me it. When I get it I'll post it.

I just would imagine there would be some consistency between the two brands in regards to holders sizing. CCM used to go with larger holders than Bauer in the past.

I have him that as an option, for us to install a set of 263 holders, but that's not what he wants.

Yeah. I have no idea why CCM doesn't do the same.

It's a conflict of interest since I also own a shop as well. If the customer, who is also a ModSquad member, wants to share the shopping he can. I won't though.

Agreed. I'll let him know. I am not sure if the shop that did the work is gonna replace the boot though for their shoddy workmanship. He said they were quite defensive when he first asked them if they mounted the holders too far forward basically telling him they do it all the time and other shops, and the online community, are overall clueless. I am trying to be politically correct by specifically not naming the shop.

One thing I find interesting is these are. 7.5EE. I know on Bauer or TRUE they would normally be a 272. Why does CCM use a 263 on the same size? 263 for this boot size seems too small.

Yeah, IMO those holders are destroyed and he should seek to get his money back from the shop who did the install. He also should be refunded for the installation too. Can I have him send you the skates to get the holders mounted properly? I am having the guys at the shop check and see if we have another set of 272 holders in stock so he doesn't have to drive all the way back up to Vancouver.

@JR Boucicaut @Vet88 @oldtrainerguy28 I’m out on vacation currently and a player came to the shop asking for someone to validate if his holders are properly mounted. Apparently, he put 272 holders on a 7.5 skate, replacing the stock 263, and is saying they feel too far forward and he feels like he is falling forward. I would help him out if I was home in Seattle, but I am in Arizona for the next 10 days. I asked him to share some pics and he sent me the one below. To me, they look too far forward by about 1/2" or so.

I tried to do this for a customer myself and TRUE skates are a nightmare to take apart. I also had a customer who wanted to change colors and TRUE told him no.

Correction, new models every other year for each of the product lines.

Better off selling them and getting a new pair done. I have never seen anyone get post-production changes. Ever.

I know you aked JR, but the few people who have been quite happy with them have skated on the Zuperior profile.

May want to look into ProtectaClear. I use this on customers who are rough on steel. https://www.everbritecoatings.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7

Awesome! Looking forward to trying those out and would be happy to be part of the beta/alpha testing program.

I like the get the rebound off their head and tuck it in 😉

You aren't sure if I play or not? Thats pretty funny. I am not that old, lol. I still skate at least a few times a week 😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpTChjkHzC0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

+1 I have, they were too heavy for me and I prefer Flare. I am not shooting anyone down. I am providing general opinion and feedback. I agree. I also understand this is a v1 product so fine tuning will need to occur for it to become better and more mainstream. Its hard to release something new and revolutionary. I have been involved with many startup and kickstarter style projects and products over the years. I have. They were too heavy for me and I honestly didn't notice any benefit. I didn't mount them on my TRUE skates, instead mounting them to my older Vapors. While I liked the feel of the for cornering and such I felt top end speed was limited by them and the added weight. It took me more energy to get going to top speed and took more strides. I dont play a "cut down the middle" type of play, I am a more of a go wide and blow past everyone. I found that this didnt work well for my style of skating. Is there a long term roadmap to build the holders in something other than carbon to save weight and increase durability. We have had a couple of pairs come in recently that are pretty chewed up. I imagine the frame needs to be very stiff in order to accommodate the leaf spring used for the motion technology. Hence why carbon was used.
