Would you say ccm blades held up better than the few Bauers you had?

Good to know

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

Ok. Just wondering because I can’t tape my blades so it would be a lot worse if they did wear

Do the blades hold up or do they chip and fall apart easily?

By don’t do the laces up do you mean don’t tie them at all or tie them very loosely?

Ok I’ll try the test tomorrow and give you an update

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?

That’s what I did

I’ll try a different insert. The first one reduced the pain a little bit but it was still there

According to the Bauer foot scanner, my arches are on the lower side

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.

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?

Have you tried a supreme against your supertacks?

I only start getting the pain a few minutes after going at a decent speed. For example, at pure hockey they let me do laps around their sticks so mine is probably different from yours, but before I got my skates stretched and with the insole, I could only do about 4 laps. After I got them stretched I could do significantly more with the arch in. But, I cannot remember having this pain without an insole before I got the boots stretched besides for 1 moment. It could be because I was more focused on the game but it was still bothering me a little bit. Also, my feet did kind of fall asleep and around my feet hurt from what I assume was the boot being too narrow. One or both of those issues could have taken away from my arch pain.

I only tighten around the ankle and i make sure to not do it too tight.

I’m pretty sure companies measure their sticks differently like with length, lie and flex

Is ccm stiffer than bauer, warrior and true?

No, even if they’re the same flex ccm is longer. It’s the same for intermediate sticks too

They’re measured differently than bauer. Actually some sticks will be a 2 inch difference. Most senior sticks are about an inch or two difference. I’ve never actually measured them together before

I plan on it when I can find someone with a curve good for what I need it to do. Also I need to find shorter one that I won’t need to cut as much which is hard. Any suggestions for a righty?

Unfortunately I still have to. I can’t go to buy new sticks every time I break one

If that’s the case I’ve seen way more people break ccm than bauer because they don’t reinforce the blade at all at that level. I’ve seen more shafts break too especially on jetspeed models.

Ok cuz I know ccm is longer than bauer and that is too long for me or too stiff if I cut it. Thanks for checking!

Skate doesn’t fall off. Is there a possibility that I just won’t be able to skate unless I pay $1000+ for custom skates?
