[European Pro Stock Gear]

Hey guys,

 

Anyone know a site where they sell pro stock gear from european teams? Would love to try and get a pair of socks from a european club

Anybody see any weights online for the pro or standard 2x? Haven't seen anything from bauer as of yet

Can anyone explain to me what the yellow Dynaflex lettering means on the 2X Pro? What exactly is this new feature? Gimmick or legit?

It gives the boot more flexibility, which is supposed to result in better agility, and east west movements. I mean, it could be legit if done right. If the boot flexes more, and moves with you, then this would result in better agility

Not at all.  Didn't notice a difference in height.

Thanks for the input man, appreciate it

I don't think the TPU outsole is a bad thing. Many pros still use it and the rivets for the holder actually grab into the TPU much better than composite. I think for the price the 2X or the FT490 are quite nice. 

do you know any specific guys still using tpu? Not that it will influence my decision, just curious

I can't speak to the 2x specifically, but I have skated in one piece boots, two piece with full carbon outsoles, and two piece with tpu outsoles.  I have not found any noticable difference in the responsiveness of the tpu.  I actually think I prefer the tpu as it slightly dampens the shock of hitting ruts in the ice.  If you like to feel every little imperfection in the ice, then you might prefer the carbon outsoles.

did you feel too high up on the tpu, as its thicker than composite?

Anybody have a chance to try these out yet? tried them on today, fit great, but not sure about the tpu outsole. Not saying its bad, just don't know. Have been using full composite boots for 10+ years now

Hey Guys,

Tried on the new 2X skates today(non-pro), and they are very comfortable, have a nice stiff quarter, good heel lock, etc. The only thing holding me back from grabbing them, is the 'Pro tpu Outsole", as apposed to the full carbon. I am coming from the apx2 skates, and before that, the ccm u+cl, so i have been using full carbon boots for some time. Anybody have any insight into the tpu outsoles? I know its basically just a plastic, but its definitely some sort of injected plastic, and is still relatively stiff. Any insight would be great, would be awesome if anybody has skated in the skates, and could leave some feedback, but they're obviously brand new, so might be a long shot. Any info would be great!
