Just saw this episode of Friends, Joey and Chandler with the silver and red Easton. https://recapguide.com/recap/24/Friends/season-1/episode-15/#32 Oh, and as an aside, Jon Lovitz as the stoned restauranteur in that episode is one of the funniest bits from the show’s entire run.

Or they realize that endlessly pursuing weight cuts has limited returns at this point and there are other trade offs they would rather make.

Yeah, the 0-fer on the 5 min and 5-on-3 hurt. The GW goal through is a soul-sucking gut punch, I don't see it happening, even if they play well the rest of the way.

Awesome in GOT and while I watched The Avengers here and there a long time ago, never knew it was the same actress!!

We'll see how NYI respond. If they can rebound from Game 1 it might be a good series but you are right, when TB is on it is impressive to watch.

I have been playing 2-3 times a week since June or July (can’t remember when they opened back up) and this morning was the first time I saw someone wearing one while playing.

Gotcha, I think you are right, I was just thinking standard width.

I wouldn’t describe the Ribcore as an alternative to the Nexus. Definitely not a wide forefoot nor a high volume overall.

And likely imperceptible at this point. Weight has probably reached the steep part of the curve for benefit.

It came up elsewhere.

There’s progress. Last week I can’t remember which game but a player was down and play was stopped. You could see two of his teammates’ feet as they stood around him and both were in Trues. Used to see them here or there but that image jumped out at me.

90 day guarantee is great, I used it to get another size for my Ribcores, but you need to be at significant scale for that to be feasible.

It's interesting, I wonder if nylon on nylon may actually stay tighter than nylon (the nut) on metal. I know I need to give mine a bit of a twist every once in a while.

Seems pathetic that the move was made to begin with, regardless of tier IMO.

Good points, in addition, the numbers might dictate that a pair can be baked many more times for fitting because there is no stress being put on them, so in that case having discounted fit pairs might make sense.

You absolutely must account for the effort and cost of a sale. Your calculus may tell you that the extra service will be more profitable in the long run, others may not.

If you are trying on 2-3 pairs of Trues that is 2-3 bakes and molding just to compare sizes or models (if you were thinking 7s vs. 9s). That's a lot of time and money for the store so I can see how it can be both an advantage (you really know how it is going to fit before making your decision) and a disadvantage (time and money).

Interested as well, i get a scary pop sometimes when i tighten the laces on the third eyelet from the top. Probably the area I lace the tightest but by no means do I pull them super tight. I keep thinking that grommet is going to let loose, and they are pretty new.

I know this is older but just reread this before my skate this morning. I have only had Q0, on a pair of Supreme 7000 and now on Ribcores with the new holder. I was told when I got them profiled that people who usually had some forward pitch would bring back Q0 and 1s to get the pitch taken out. Anyway, I was just skating and standing around trying to pay attention to my natural balance point and it is right in the middle of my foot, very natural. I think with the Quad, you can get forward when you need to but I don’t feel like the skate is actively pushing me there. Then the flatter backend provides stability. The flat back was actually what I noticed right away and immediately reduced fatigue in the front of my calves, presumably due to trying to counter the skate pushing me on my heels. The other thing that went away immediately was this arch pain I used to have for like the first 1/2 hour of skating. I had always assumed it was the boot (this was with the 7000s) but the relief was instantaneous. As for my skating, as OTG28 points out, what you think you are doing and what you are measured doing are often two different things.

Ugg, I didn’t know he was sick, great actor!

Makes sense. I wanted to get the Playrite stick for my son but only IW has it, very low stock numbers so maybe they won't be pushing in the US for a while.

You are a member of a very large brotherhood then! 😄

34, man, that's young. Listened to them the other day.

You can have the greatest marketing plan and execution in the world but for many (maybe most) products if you don't start with a solid value prop that is mapped to a market need it won't work in the long run. You can have some short-term success but business cases are rarely built on that. When I am working with marketing on messaging and campaigns, they are asking me as a product manager what the market segment is, what problems are they facing, how does a product solve those problems, etc. It always starts with the problem you are trying to solve. I have literally been having multiple conversations with my team on a current product to answer the question, "Why does this product exist in the minds of the buyer?" I don't see that being answered by SW right now. The play to be a house brand might work like some have pointed out, but that is not what that marketing blog post made it sound like was their goal.

Most schools around here have at least hybrid options, a few private schools are 5 days a week and kids with IEPs can do full-time. PIAA can do whatever it wants to start but if things spike the decision may be taken out of their hands.
