Not teasing, they released them a month or two ago. FT890R is the top of the line model based off the FT890 ice boot https://www.icewarehouse.com/CCM_Jetspeed_FT890R/descpage-JS890.html?from=gpmax&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20879492832&gbraid=0AAAAADy-Dht_qUKLawNhwwa5BMVK1dY7G&gclid=CjwKCAjwyMnNBhBNEiwA-KcguxW9Do7TNv9N4Lt8ZO5JsxFKdQty1ssirtKUFMFPsPcDfM89yLu4OxoC7jsQAvD_BwE Bauer is also releasing a trio of new inline skates this weekend. Their top of the line flylite model has an updated version of the krypronium chassis

Based on Warrior’s comment on Pavel Barber’s post, the skates will be released in June https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVt7ywEkScD/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

IMO, the question is if you want it done right? Send them off to a proper professional to have them done right and chalk up the added cost as having learned a lesson

Exactly what I saw too. Nothing special you can’t simply get already with Tacks. Don’t get the hype other than it being white which will look yellow after a few games

Paid influencers impressed by a product they’re given. Color me shocked! Shocked I say! I am curious in the Warrior skates but that wouldn’t prevent me from buying any of the solid options on the market currently. Especially if the warriors are still 9+ months out before they go on sale

Hmmm… I may have to give this a try. I like a longer twig on D, but cut my zegras the same height as a P88. Will cut off an inch and see if it changes how I feel about the curve

Huh. Haven’t heard that in any of the ‘P88-like‘ discussions. Unfortunately that curve doesn’t appear to be available in the V line of sticks

Apparently the QR6 feels very different than the QR5. Looks like I might have to bite the bullet and try them out for myself

I picked up a VX in the Zegras curve after hearing everyone hype it up. I’m a traditional P88 shooter so I knew it would be an adjustment but more than two months later I still fumble shots with it. Really wanted to start using a different curve but I think I’ll be going back to the old reliable

My go-to stick for the last few years has a been a batch of CCM Trigger 6 pros. Really enjoy it but haven’t been able to find anymore in my specs. PSH just got a bunch of QR6 Pro sticks in my specs and I considered trying them out. Just wondering if anyone has used both and could provide their thoughts?

The Genetix insoles that come with some True skates are squishy and would be nice if you’re a ref or coach in your skates all day. As a player I feel they take up too much volume and deaden the feel of the skates

I loved the Bauer 1x Lite and ADV. For me they just worked

Never tried baking them but agree they’re terrible insoles. Maybe if I were a ref and in my skates for 8 hours? It for playing they’re too soft/squishy and take up too much volume

I use 8 TF9 and 8.5 Cats with a medium R1

I have tried too many cut resistant socks. If I had to recommend one above all others it’d be cut shield. Unfortunately they’d likely be too big for your 7 year old. They do offer sleeves in youth sizes which would work https://www.cutshield.com/product/footless-tubes/ If you’re adamant about socks and not sleeves. Aycane is my second suggestion. They have multiple sizes to fit just about all foot sizes. https://aycane.com/en-us/collections/youth-hockey/products/a-shield-skate-socks I find all cut resistant skate socks to be far too tall. They basically go to your knee which keeps your entire lower leg warm. I’ve cut mine down so they fall just below my calf. Once you cut the height to the desired length simply fold over the top and stitch em down. Takes less than five minutes. Plus side is you basically make cut resistant sleeve wraps with the excess
