    What is the main difference between the standard retail model and the PS100 specifically? I know you can attach a vacuum to the PS100 but is there any other significant differences? Our store is considering doing a loaner/lease program to the hockey association for the 16U and 18U AAA teams where they rent the Sparx units from us for a month payment and are responsible for the costs of the rings which the cost will be shared between the parents. Would the standard retail machines be able to handle this type of work load? I assume they would be sharpening about 20 pairs of skates multiple times a week between the players and coaches.

    I'm interested in hearing if anyone has had the motor or components in their Sparx fail?
  3. VegasHockey
    Yes. You can.

    I am not sure I would agree the AS1 is not worth its price point. If the skate fits the player properly, provides the performance they are expecting and the player is ok with the skate maybe not lasting as long as other brands then I think it's fine for them. Let's be honest, 90% of people who buy custom skates at the retail stores do not require a skate of that level its utterly a waste of money unless they need something custom because they have specific needs due to their feet dynamics. I would even be bold enough to say that most people buying custom skates are actually doing more harm than good as they cannot even take advantage of the stiffness of a custom skate as they just dont have the skating ability.

    I agree with this. As someone who owns a shop that caters to a lot of players of all levels, who prefer to purchase a high volume of custom skates. In my experience, Bauer and CCM do show wear more rapidly than TRUE. There is a significant difference in the materials used between each of the companies and I dont consider one better than another in regards to performance. However, the best skate for each individual is the brand that fits the customer the best and provides them with the performance and feel they are expecting.

    I have to agree. I will also add that its a matter of opinion Is BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche or Tesla better than one another?
  7. VegasHockey
    Yes, you can.

    Do both feet if you are going to redo the scan.

    Quad 0 vs Zuperior, more agility, and quick transitions and lateral movement. However, you will lose speed and stability. I find the Zuperior is great for players who play wing or defense, are fast on their feet, or battle a lot along the boards. Quad profiles are great for players that are a little more dynamic and have a lot of lateral movement and do a lot of edge work.

    There is a slight bit of weight added (nominal at best) but its more about where the weight is, at the blade, which affects swing weight. However, the ability to tip pucks when in front of the net, preventing a puck from hopping over my stick, or getting more "meat" on a shot when the puck is rolling or not flat is worth it. Once you go with a max height blade (MHB) it's very had to switch back. If you are a pure dangler though, I can see the MHB and its added weight being disliked.

    CCM issuea a credit to the stores account. The store then either sells you a new pair of skates or refunds you your money. Whatever the customer decides.
  13. VegasHockey
    Is there still slots open?

    CCM doesn't ask for a receipt and the entire satisfaction guarantee is actually handled by the store.

    I personally would warranty them. Regardless of how much time you spent getting them dialed in, they are of no use to you if they have a catastrophic failure.

    If he wants the extra work. Its literally a remove and replace job. But whatever floats his boat.

    The XS holes line up with the LS Edge and the VH/TRUE holder.

    I own a Conway and Banks bag and absolutely love it. Previously I had a Grit AirBox which was also nice but it did not wear very well. I think the Conway and Banks bags are well worth their price for the quality of the product. We sell them in our store and all of the customers who have bought them have been very happy.

    I use this one: https://utahskigear.com/shop/wintersteiger-red-soft-gummy-stone-2-5x1-5x0-75in/

    That would be the only negative I imagine. It also makes the blade stiffer as well, so for someone looking for a very soft flexing blade, it would likely not be ideal.

    The P28M and P92M are my favorites patterns. One you go with a max height blade you can never go back to a standard type.
  22. VegasHockey
    I would imagine they weight the same as retail sticks or pro stock with the same specifications. Its all about the options you select, such as the type of blade or shaft. Etc
  23. VegasHockey
    What size skate does he wear?
  24. VegasHockey
    .... 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.
