Shooting off the toe ?
ProfessorBarDownski replied to ProfessorBarDownski's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
10-4 -
Hey boys, I’m a 75 flex p28 user, and I’ve been trying to shoot off the toe but none of my current sticks seem to be working for that type of shot. Is it an issue with my technique or do I have the wrong sticks for that? I remember when I had an Easton htx I could snipe from the toe from anywhere and they would be accurate lasers.

Coming from ice skates, need advice
ProfessorBarDownski replied to rh71el2's topic in Roller Hockey Equipment
After u figure out ur boot situation, next you will need to figure out what wheels to use.. it’s the same as what radius of hollow u prefer on ice -
I have them both, I’d go with jetspeed even though the puck feel isn’t that good. As for the sling , garbage stick I use it for roller hockey now.

Jetspeed boot cutting ankle
ProfessorBarDownski replied to ProfessorBarDownski's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Yessss !! Heard a local store has them, definitely going to check them out tomorrow 😀 -
I tried dr scholls gel pads alone and it didn’t help my situation, then I layered some stick tape ontop of the gel pad and still no difference. This is only happening to my right ankle, no issues on my left whatsoever. I recently got these custom ft4 pro skates couple months ago, first 10 sessions on these skates I wasn’t having any issues until just two weeks ago the cutting started. I’m on the ice 3-4 times a week and the cutting is getting worse. I’m thinking to Lace up with a sponge on the ankle area inside the boot. Will this do the trick ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Makes sense now, how about going custom?

About “digging” do u mean chaffing ? If that’s what you mean I get that too at the exact spot on the outside of the upper ankle area with my ft4 pro. It only happens with my right ankle. I tried using dr scholls gel pads but those things won’t stick after a shift.

ProfessorBarDownski replied to honeless_blader's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
i meant I was curious about the Hzrdus stick as you are with the nexus, your best bet is to get out there and try it yourself if they let you test sticks where you live. If it doesn’t work for some one else it doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. -

ProfessorBarDownski replied to honeless_blader's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I asked the same questions about the true Hzrdus stick, now I regret even asking after I went out to try it myself. 🙈🫣 -
No chips on my ft3 either shooting is amazing but no puck feel whatsoever. I stopped using true about the same time you did with the A 6.0 I still have it but it’s retired lol. Let’s see how this one holds up.

Just got out of pro hockey life tried everything out for my own curiosity and all I have to say is wow .. the Hzrdus stick is bananas 🍌!! I walked out with a 75 flex TC4 and I hope this stick lasts long !

Does anyone here have any experience with this stick ? I heard there’s two versions of it one being a low kick point and the other mid (hope it’s true)I’m looking for a stick thats good for snap shots and stick handling. Another stick I’m curious about is the Jetspeed FT5 Pro stick. I have a FT3 Pro stick that’s amazing for snappers but lacks on puck feel. If anyone has the FT5 pro stick your input would be appreciated.

Bauer vs CCM vs True Custom skates
ProfessorBarDownski replied to skates73's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I absolutely love my recent pair of total custom jetspeed skates. They are truly built around the shape of your feet. I could have went for a total custom plus but it wasn’t necessary for me. Best skates I’ve ever had. You can’t go wrong with ccm. -
Jetspeed FT5 skates ?
ProfessorBarDownski replied to ProfessorBarDownski's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
It’s ford Center man, sometimes there’s security when the pros are on the ice and they won’t allow people to take pictures and I’d find it to be creepy if some random person was taking pictures or videos of me without my consent so I just don’t do it. These guys come in to grind it out during the summer and they don’t want to be bothered. I remember during the first round of the playoffs the leafs had a practice in the am and the security put his palm over the camera of this random person trying to take pics. 🤷♂️ -
Jetspeed FT5 skates ?
ProfessorBarDownski replied to ProfessorBarDownski's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Not allowed to take pictures at the rink -
I’ve been seeing a few NHL and junior players wearing a ccm skate with similar colour scheme of jetspeed ft4 skates but with a different design. I’m wondering when ccm Is planning to release the FT5 skates.

Problem with skates
ProfessorBarDownski replied to ProfessorBarDownski's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
My problem was opposite. I used to take pride of the fact I can eat everything and anything because I would burn it all off on the ice. When Covid hit my eating habits stayed the same but my physical activity stopped. I get where ur coming from. I just hope this omicron bs doesn’t shut us down again.
