What width were your franchises? 14N and 13W franchises have the same length fingers. Lengthwise, I think if you fit 13s in anything than you will be 13s in CCM pro. But the ft1s are snug. But I think 14 will be long in the fingers

It will open up back there and if that's your only issue they should be pretty comfy. Part of Graf's amazing heel lock is that pocket design, but it does take time to get to that perfect feel

They're nice. I usually just use them to stick handle in a lot near my house and they have lasted fine and are comfortable. Can't tell much difference between them and the konixx outdoor purrs though, at $5 more per wheel

If I wouldn't have already jumped ship to true I would be all over those puppies.

It's a p92 that stays more closed at the heel and opens up a bit later than the retail edition. But McD already told Oates to go fly a kite and looks like he's sticking with his curve. It's very close to a square toe p92, similar to Iginla but a much deeper pocket and opens up on top. To say it's an Iggy with more curve depth and more open does not exclude it from being similar to a p92, as the 92 also has more curve and is more open to Iginla. That said, I'm a right shot and I've only ever seen lefty of both McD and Oates, so there are possibly nuances that I'm not pickup up (I have a hard time doing it for lefty curves)

Lol I never really tinker. Lace once and play, can't remember the last time I had to untie my skates to lace them again. I was also in Supreme with the lace locks for the last bunch of years

I lace entirely under and prefer it this way. Never had lace bite issues and I find they lock nicely. In truth, I lace my shoes under as well, and I prefer it

M David uses a modded p92 with square toe. Good luck finding one of his pro stocks though lol. You're other option is to sand down the toe on one if your sticks and then epoxy and tape. That's only if you're a real nut

Thanks, but that post is a year and half old. I'm in the US anyway, so I did end up getting some MPC freestyle directly from RR

I'll give it a try then when I need one. Thanks for posting the vid

Funny enough, seems like he just split the two insta pages, one for his own sticks and another for pro stock gear nerding

That's referring to the testing site where you can go shoot and try sticks. The company was still going for a bit after the shop closed, but it seems that they've gone under since

I heard that Base was/is going under.

Hope Sean Avery helps him get some support from the pros to get permission to use their images

There's no claim of an endorsement, and it seems to me like nothing that a nice big "no players shown here are sponsored or endorse our sticks" can't fix. But either way, dudes gonna change his pattern names to something funny.

I view it more like a fan page. Dude loves sticks and curves. If I were him I would definitely look into my options to take legal action, but he doesn't seem like that kinda guy.

MacKinnon looks like it's a bit more open faced and looks like it's missing that real hard hook right up to the tip of the blade

Imo yes, however, if you are concerned then you can always just buy a pair of vapors

QR1. Tons of pro stock out there

Can't say wrt int, but sr is accurate. Big fan of Geppetto, highly recommend the sticks. They are close to top of the line sticks in performance, custom options are amazing. Unfortunately, just saw on his insta this morning that the nhlpa sent him a cease and desist email re posting pics of NHLers and using player names for his curves. I get the second one, but he posts from Getty images, so not exactly sure what authority the NHLPA have over that. Anyway, someone above mentioned his way of describing curves, which I agree, it is a bit odd. I recently have been using a stack of Warrior W10 retail Gionta curves and love them. Asked his rec and he suggested Gino pro, which I have and can say that the Gionta has a lower lie and a way bigger toe hook than Malkin. From his visualizer, it looks to me like Hossa, Kovy or Spezza are much closer to W10. The other thing that irks me is that he changes the lie, often making it higher than the actual pro curve.

They're eyelet extenders. Never seen them up on the top eyelets, but they increase the commune of the skate over a few eyelets if there is a small area that requires more volume. Someone else might know the specifics of it's function here

Looks like the next Supreme line release with some white accents

Beauties! How are those Pure-X treating you?

Hgql, ft1, tacks (hgtk). You can usually find a pair of those new for around 100 on sideline, depending on what color you're after.

Gotta upload the image to a host. https://imgbb.com/ The V3 was a lower price point stick and was not made in Mexico. Only top sticks. BTW, as a big fan of Easton sticks myself, I would say try pro stock hockey sticks. Com. Definitely have a very Easton feel and lot of custom curves. @PBHgot me into them and I like them a lot.
