Ok I tried these holders for about 10 or so skates so enough to give a reasonable opinion. Personally I like how quickly you can turn with them. But I don't like the cross under. It feels like it goes way to far and by the time I'm ready to push off with that cross under leg it feels like I have no leverage or bite. On my turns this is where I get all my explosion in the turns. It feels like I can turn sharp but no explosion with the MB. As for straight ahead speed I like my regular skates (Makos). I can get more speed with my Makos and I still can turn very well with them. I currently have the MB on my True skates. It seems like the back end of the MBs is where it shines. But anything related to toes and explosion I much rather prefer my regular skates. In fact I think I am going to remove the MB on my True and go back to the TUUK and step steel blades. I have tried the stock profile on the MB and also used a 10-13 radius. Too bad cause I was really looking forward to these working will for me.

Hey IP. I wasn't going to buy it. With an email conversation with Richard, I figured I have nothing to lose. He convinced me that the money back guarantee was solid. And with that email it wouldn't be a problem getting a refund through my credit card company if there were any issues. Initially I want going to buy it though

You're kidding right? If you feel like getting personal, that's what pm is for. I was basically saying that you don't think a pros opinion doesn't mean anything unless he uses it. Just leave it please.

Kg you're not getting it. You're telling me if Crosby said he loves the stick but can't officially endorse it because he has an endorsement deal with CCM that wouldn't mean anything? Yeah right! Lol

Well for the heck of it I think I'll order one and try it out. If I don't like it I'll send it back for a refund. One of the guys their promptly returned my email with some info. Even emailed me on New year's day! I made some suggestions if they really wanna get their product going, having a current NHLer give his review on it would definitely help. I know Marsblade had 6 or so names in the NHL review their holders. But I can understand with sticks out might be a bit different. Can't really have Crosby endorse it when his name is slapped all over CCMs sticks. Probably wouldn't get any more endorsement deals with CCM after that. But surely there are SOME players that aren't tied to endorsement contacts they could ask to review it.

I think they got past the Kickstarter phase. By having a 60 day warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee they sure are standing behind it.

When I wanted the edge holders installed they said I had to send them in as they only have theirs (I assume they meant the step holders) available. So I sent the Bauers in and when I got the skates I THEN bought the blades. Will one blade went in fine but the other is bent. The guys at pro hockey life asked me if they installed the holders WITH the blades in the holder. I said I assume they didn't as I sent only the holders in. The pro shop guy said it's easy to bend the holder when rivetting the holders in if you don't have a blade installed at the same time. So they will have to redo the holder install. Which would probably be as easy as undoing the rear rivets, install the blade, open the rivet holes a bit and re rivet the holder. I just hope opening up the rivet holes any more doesn't fr+g the skate up

Sniper9, those holders look great on there. Buddy, not sure why they are taking so long. I ordered mine about Nov 28 and received them approx Dec 20th. One boo boo they made but other than that they are THE most comfortable skate I have ever worn. And in the the last 6 years I have bought Bauer Total One, Easton Mako, Bauer 1S, CCM Super Tacks and now these. So far very happy with the purchase other than the boo boo but I am sure they will fix that no sweat. I am going to put the Marsblade holders on when they are released and see how they are.

Yeah I'm guessing so. Just surprised no one's ever tried one here

There was initially a lot of hype about these sticks and note the last post I can find in Google is 2 years old. I see they still sell them but you see or hear nothing about them. No NHLers use them as far as I know. Anyone have any experience personally with these sticks?
