  1. Bauer marketing has me believing they've added a layer of something in the blade and the carbon somewhere is thinner or wider or otherwise more productive... can anyone who used or has the previous nexus stick also using the Sync who can feel any sort of difference?
  2. If I'm reading this correctly (which I may not be based on the junior pricing mistake) the key difference between the SVH and the Catalyst Pro is the shell. The SVH creates a fully custom carbon shell from the scan and foot last while the Catalyst Pro fills in an appropriately sized pre-formed shell with the skate innards based on the scan. Yes?
  3. Competitve Edge Sports has the Cat 9 at $549.99, Cat 7 at $349, and Cat 5 $219. Seems like quite aggressive pricing at the lower end.
  4. I've seen images of CatPro and Cat9, any idea what differentiates the two?
  5. Are we talking "on shelves within a year" patient or "we're expecting our final samples this year" patient?
  6. I'm getting back into stick geekery and I'm curious how everyone deals with the seemingly endless search for the perfect new stick. I'm fascinated by new curves, shaft geometries, kick point and I want to try them all but it's a lot of variables to consider (and pay for). I'm settled at 75-80 flex but that's pretty much all I'm confident in. The video reviews from prostockhockey sticks are pretty good but I have a hard time translating their curves to retail curves and it doesn't address shafts. Are there any resources to help out? Pretty open ended question and I'm sort of just looking for general thoughts on the matter.
  7. Think about FZ but... reversed and white, not silver. Take away the dots, add some geometric lines... vents a bit more fang-ey. And anyone can correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like a mostly stylistic update.
  8. It's sad but there's just no market for a bigger roller hockey spend. Inline skates of all sorts have had a banner year so I'm sure they'll see a Covid bump, but will it last? Part of what drew me to roller in the first place was Mission's "California" vibe, a different and fun attitude to the super serious ice hockey I had been playing. But instead of cultivating it's own identity, it seems like the sport became more of an off-ice training hobby so... here we are.
  9. Just an update if anyone is curious: I got a chance to look at the new Mission boots earlier today and I wasn't super impressed with the new design. It's fine? I was told the fit will be the same but given that, I think I'd stay with the current model and get a discount. Going to look at CCM boots tomorrow, maybe try on a pair of TF9s as well.
  10. Hi all, I just received my new marsblade r1s and the plan was to set them up a new pair of boots. However! Someone in the Mission disappearing thread mentioned the 2021 samples and I'm looking around and noticing some of the top end boots discounted so I'm wondering: Is there anything new coming out soon that I should wait for? Or is now a great time to buy? For reference, I'm currently skating on Mission NLS1s with sprungs. They're not in terrible shape, I can certainly wait a couple of months if I need to.
