  1. i hate grip sticks and buy matte, but i use a rather small amount of tape up top. i play with a guy that doesn't tape the top of his sticks, but he wore a giant hole through his palm super quickly
  2. i use 100/50 and love it, but i'm only 165 lbs
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. really? I was told X7 was the closest equivalent and I dont really notice a difference please educate me
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. i have these and think they look much better after 6+ months of wear than they did brand new
  12. 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
  13. i have the Tron and love it. been using it for 3+ years and it barely ever fogs
  14. if your skates are fitted and baked properly your foot shouldn't be sliding? or am i crazy
  15. i use the hybrid visor/cage style and it doesn't fog nearly as much as the full bubble. it has less visor so it sits above your nose where the full bubble the glass ends below your nose and fogs like crazy
  16. hey, i play beer league TWICE a week 😁 but i wear $700 off the shelf skates i picked up for $300. can't justify spending a grand on skates for beer league
  17. always a Graf guy too. 703/704. just got a pair of made in Switzerland F60s for $300 shipped off Fruugo after reading that they were the 703/704 successor and they've been great so far
  18. i'm the opposite. i used my high school gear for a good 10 years before buying anything new. then the past few years ive seemed to replace everything i owned a few times over and own multiple pairs of gloves where i used to always just own one pair
  19. yeah i'm really interested in the process of getting custom Grafs made. also price.
  20. my current skates are about 200grams lighter than my old skates and its a night and day difference. especially with overall leg fatigue throughout a game
  21. thanks. though they're obviously not original haha
  22. back to back league champs. i scored 6 goals and a few assists in the last 3 games
  23. i think the website says the shotblockers add 40grams per skate
  24. i used the secondary shims that came with my powerfeet to snug up my glove liners. really got my money's worth
