    Dek is actually organized and has very similar rules to ice hockey while still being its own game

    That’s what I would think. I’m not sure if going down in flex would be bad. What I’m using right now is already a little low for my weight and strength but I can rip all shots with it
  3. JAY4114
    How much does flex matter for face offs?
  4. JAY4114
    That’s lit
  5. JAY4114
    Well I guess that does answer my question. I’ve had a few teammates with blade issues but I wasn’t sure if it was a fluke and a review i watched the guy broke one on his third shift
  6. JAY4114
    Do you think a 58 flex would be too soft? I don’t feel like snapping sticks. I’m using a 67 bauer right now. I can definitely get some good flex on it and I feel it when shooting but never really paid attention on passes. I weigh about 165.

    How’s the durability on the ax9 or any of the other ones you’ve used? From the sound of it it doesn’t seem like 58 flex will be good for me
  8. JAY4114
    Do your trues feel more whippy than bauer? I’m guessing they’re the same flex rating. I’m just wondering because I’m using a 65-70 flex but true doesn’t offer that for most intermediate sticks. I was thinking of picking up an xc5 but I’m not sure if it’s flex is too light plus I’ve heard that they can be whippy. If you’ve used an xc5 or any xc line stick could you comment on the durability of them?

    Did the 2019 line have durability issues?
  10. JAY4114
    Xc line
  11. JAY4114
    Ok. I can’t tape my blade but I might have to try it out
  12. JAY4114
    Do true sticks feel whippy or stiff for their rating? Also, how is the durability on them?
  13. JAY4114
    Would you say ccm blades held up better than the few Bauers you had?
  14. JAY4114
    Good to know
  15. JAY4114
    Test went pretty well. I stayed on them for a while and no pain. I’ve never had consistent times getting the pain so I just went for about 10 minutes
  16. JAY4114
    Ok. Just wondering because I can’t tape my blades so it would be a lot worse if they did wear
  17. JAY4114
    Do the blades hold up or do they chip and fall apart easily?
  18. JAY4114
    By don’t do the laces up do you mean don’t tie them at all or tie them very loosely?
  19. JAY4114
    Ok I’ll try the test tomorrow and give you an update
  20. JAY4114
    So if I were to get a skate that’s too wide or a little wider than I need I won’t get the arch pain?
  21. JAY4114
    That’s what I did
  22. JAY4114
    I’ll try a different insert. The first one reduced the pain a little bit but it was still there
  23. JAY4114
    According to the Bauer foot scanner, my arches are on the lower side
  24. JAY4114
    No red areas. I only think they’re too big because I’m tensing up which makes me think Im trying to compensate for having too much room or something even though it doesn’t feel that big.
  25. JAY4114
    Also I did notice that parts of my feet like toes and front of the ankle tend to tense up during skating. When I talked to someone at pure hockey, they said that tensing could be part of the problem. He also said that the stretching would help my feet lay flat which wouldn’t make my feet tense up. I’m not sure how much of this it’s true. Would too much room in the boot cause my arch pain?
