bingo. mine were both loose so i popped them out and replaced them with chicago screws and good lord what a difference. should have come that way from the factory -
just stole these off eBay for $280. they were never skated in. came with never sharpened LS3 steel
-
I have and love those Combats except the palms wore out incredibly fast. gotta send em out for repalm
-
$85 off sidelineswap. liners and loops were cut which I'm not thrilled about, but otherwise they're barely used and can't beat the price for pro stock franchises
-
i had those back in the day. they were good skates

i dont tie my skates that tight either, but prefer wax laces just because they're so much more durable. any time i've used non-waxed they get sliced in game 1 or 2 -

my current skates don't have the comfort edge, my last pair did. i've never felt a difference, really. my hockey socks end up being under the top of the skate anyway so even though i skate barefoot, that part of the skate never touches my skin -
I've been playing with a completely dead stick for like 2-3 months waiting for it to break while I have a brand new one sitting at home. still scoring with it, so
-
100% psychology. and usually the guys spending top dollar on equipment thinking it'll make them better that I play with are ankle benders that need to spend that money on skating lessons instead lol
-
i try not to spend over $100 on a stick and i always score more goals and get more assists than the guys playing with $300 sticks lol but its beer league so

Blackstone Flat-Bottom V Thread
asgoodasdead replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
yeah, i went from 5/8" to 100/50 or X7 and the difference was insane. almost fell on my face and had to skate really carefully for my first few shifts til i got used to it and been flying ever since. no way i could go back to a regular hollow -

i hope my local Pure Hockey doesn't do the same. but thankfully, i have 2 other places i can get FBV done around here. -
Favorite Skates of all time, top 5 (just for fun)
asgoodasdead replied to matix218's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
always been a Graf guy. previously worn 703s and 704. currently wearing F60 which is the predecessor to 703/704 and they're definitely my favorite since its the same skate but they weigh half as much -
i have these and think they look much better after 6+ months of wear than they did brand new
-
i sprayed the cage portion of my Tron combo white which i think helps with looking down at your feet. never been a fan of black cages
-
i have the Tron and love it. been using it for 3+ years and it barely ever fogs
