    Hey fellas, 

    just got my new supreme  skates and I have to swap the power fly holder for a ccm XS holder because I have so many sets of runners that I constantly swap through.  I’m a size 6.5 in both Bauer and ccm skates . Holder size on my Current ccm jetspeed skates is 255, and the powerflys on the new skates are much longer 270 or so can’t remember exactly. Left my skates at the shop waiting on the xs holders to be shipped. I was wondering if the longer holders make a difference in the way you skate ?

    Does anyone know what model from true is closest to Bauer supreme skates in terms of performance aspects? Eg..recoil ..long powerful strides, tongue inserts and so on.. I know most people say not to pay attention to what the companies say about how a Vapor is meant for quickness, speed  and a supreme is meant for power and so on, but i really feel the difference and from my experience when I went for a model that wasn’t meant for my skating style, it really affected my skating ability. Even with the perfect fit because they were custom. Comfort wasn’t an issue.

    Is it at least like the Pro Stock offerings do you know? Where you can pair different heel widths, forefoot widths, and toe caps? 


    ex : 7EEAT8 (7 length, EE width, A heel cup, 8 toe cap)


    I know that is the downfall for myself with retail customs. My forefoot pushes me into a fit 3 but I have narrow heels and a narrow ankle wrap. So if the ‘Pro Customs’ are truly built like the way they’re offered to the pros that would still be an improvement yeah?

    If I were you in tbat case I’d go with SVH

    They all start with factory shell, with adjustments to foam placement, facings, etc. Overall, nothing has changed.

    If you have foot issues; bone spurs, haglunds, etc. You should consider TRUE SVH customs.

    If you don't have any foot issues, but have different sized feet, need minor adjustments to skate facings, etc. Then Bauer or CCM custom should be fine. 

    Thank you

    I’m an idiot.

    I have been struggling to find a pair of shoulder pads that I can confidently say I fully like. I have large FT4 pros that are solid but too big so I’m going to give em to my dad. I just bought Medium AS-V Pro NHL Spec shoulder pads (the variant from EU) which seem decent but I don’t like how the sternum guard sticks out of my jersey so I’m selling them. I really want to find a pair of U+CLs as it seems to be the perfect mix of mobility and protection but I cannot find a pair for the life of me. I’m wondering if I should just get the FT6 Pros or stay patient and hope a pair of crazy lights pop up. I always want the “best” gear. 

    My girlfriend is getting sick of me buying so many different pieces of gear just to determine I don’t like em. What are everyone’s thoughts on the “best shoulder pads”? Has anyone made any successful mods to the newer jetspeed s? Please help as my relationship is on the line. 

    I have the FT6 Pro shoulder pads, feels very mobile and light like ur not wearing anything.

    I had a pair of APX2 pro stock gloves back in the day. Player who wore them clearly had a finger injury as the gussets of the middle and ring finger were cut and the fingers were sewn together.
     

    So that would be my suggestion if you’re taping two fingers together. not exactly reversible tho 

    I’m trying the stitching first at the moment before I cut, looks pretty sloppy gotta get a professional to do it. Ugh.

    Have an injury to my index finger on my top hand (left) been bothering me a lot, I buddy tape my index to the 4th finger but it’s impossible to wear  a glove unless it’s modified. I have a couple pairs i rotate through, thinking of doing the mod myself, I don’t want to ruin the gloves, does anyone have any ideas how to modify gloves to accommodate buddy taped middle fingers.

    Not sure why this would go in this thread but sounds like you need to file a claim with USPS, only the shipper can do that, from there they'll try to locate and if you had insurance you;ll get everything back one way or another.  The seller is not out any money as SLS doesn't take their payment until they approve the swap.  You can also reach out to SLS but I've heard they're pretty terrible with stuff like this.  There's a whole thread dedicated to SLS issues on sports2k so maybe someone over there might have more insight (there's a lot of members there that sell a ton on SLS).  One thing.. if you're in Toronto how can you ship with USPS?  Don't you ship Canada Post who them transfers to USPS?  If so I would include whomever actually accepted and was paid for the shipping.

    I hit the search button looking for topics on sideline swap, thought I’d post it here instead of a new thread since it’s being mentioned here in some way. But yeah I’m ahead of that the case is being investigated. Thanks .

    I’m having a nightmarish issue with sideline swap right now. I sold a pair of personal bauer pro custom sticks on Jan 8th from Toronto and their destination is to some buyer from Lincoln NE. The last update I got from USPS was on January 17th saying sticks are on the way.. made some calls to USPS and they say they don’t know where the sticks location is, the buyer is investigating this as well, she purchased these sticks using up her whole monthly wage for her son who’s left with no sticks and cant afford to buy him a stick and she’s not even cancelling the order because she doesn’t want to screw me over. I’ve sold  a stick before on SLS and it got to its destination fine and I got paid. They are holding a big sum of money that’s supposed to be released to me. Had to sell them to pay some bills. Does anyone have any ideas of what must have happened to the package?

    Hey boys, I started up with in-line last year and unfortunately there’s a tournament coming up that’s going to be played on a polished concrete surface, I’ve been having difficulties slipping loosing balance, I don’t mind a nice slide when turning im 5’9 and about 190 a friend recently traded over some konixx +2 blue wheels but I’m being told by a few teammates those wheels aren’t meant for polished surfaces. I’m skating on missions with marsblade mounted and yeah I regret putting marsblades on them but it’s what it is .. could use some proper advice from inline experts over here.
