Hey guys. Really helpful thread over here. I just have a quick question: I am a beginner player, started playing with 0 skills (skating and stick handling) 3 years ago. I've been very ambitious and learned a lot since then, but I still think of myself as a "better" beginner. My skating is getting better and I just invested in a Bauer X3 (size 9.5, Fit 1). I was wondering what sort of profiling would be recommended for me that will help me learn and practice all the necesarry skills. To be honest, this whole profiling business is quite confusing and the guy at our local ProSharp just says that: "Hey, your skates need profiling as there is very little of the steel touching the ice at one time. Basically, the balance point is short and he is suggesting that he makes a profile that flattens the blade out a bit more so I gain more stability. But.. he doesn't mention numbers, elipse or quad profiling, so it's a bit confusing for me. Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much for the reply guys! I've found a massive discount at a Swedish hockey store for the 3X, so I've ordered them (I`m from Hungary). It's crazy how much higher the prices are here in Hungary, compared to what they are offering in Swe 😄 . So, hopefully the 3X will be mooore than enough for 2+ years. Thanks again for all the replies!

Guys, I've been searching the internet, but the information is confusing: what is the difference between Bauer 3X and X3.7? . Does it make sense for a beginner adult (3 years hockey experience total, I`m 34yrs old) to get the 3X vs the X3.7? Thanks!

Do we have any idea about the prices of the new skates? I`m particularly looking at the new X3 and X4 over here. Just trying to figure out whether the new X3 will be pricier than the current X3.7.

Thanks for the reply! Hm, that makes sense. I`m a CCM guy myself when it comes to skates, but I do have an issue with my current Jetspeed FT370. I've tried out my friend's X3.7 and the issue wasn't there, hence I`d like to swap.

Hey guys! I am thinking of buying the Vapor X3.7, but have recently learned that a new line of Vapor skates (Hyperlite 2) etc. are coming out around July. I was looking at the catalogue and can't really notice a direct upgrade for the X3.7 from the current line. Is there going to be a new skate that is a direct upgrade to the X3.7, which will be on similar quality and price level? Something like the X3.7 is to the X2.7. Thank you!
