Not what I have heard... never was impressed with that shops work always went up the road.

They sell Sparx machines. So if I buy one there can I use it in my dressing room?

Well Sir, As much as I know JR is an amazing sharpener. I will gladly disagree with you and I am sure JR will back me on this. I have been working with True/VH from almost day one. My first big time client that had that same skate swap was Barb Underhill the Leafs and Lightning skating coach. She had zero issues and was comfortable within 5 mins. The second was Mike Ellis the skills coach the Leafs. While neither are playing now they have to perform at NHL speed and do everything needed to get guys like Marner and others doing what they do. Again it can be done not by matching the profiles or Pitch because yes both boots are different. And again if had some input on the whole thing I am sure I could figure out something to make them work. That being said JR is awesome so I am sure he did everything you asked him to do and hes not comfortable. It is what it is. As for the Tendon guard Scott Bio.mechancily designed the flexion to be what it needed to be so that it actually propelled the skater. That being said I did make Barbs smaller so it fit her calf better and she doesnt really need one. My 2 cents.

The True needs to have the profile adjusted to make it feel the same as the Mako thats all. Had this happen many times with guys.

Found the solution for wet skates. Post later this week. Here is the link to the Instagram about the dryers.

Just an FYI The Great one wears them. 😏 As do about 10 other HHOF players. The weight doesn't seem to bother them nor the other 120 plus current NHL players. And there are some mighty fine skilled players wearing them past and present. Pavel Bure Wayne Gretzky Adam Oates Adam Graves Igor Larionov Mitch Marner Ryan Strome JVR Bozak and on and on. We all know its 80 to 100 grams but no it doesn't make that big a difference. If it truly did then 24 players in the Sharks organization wouldn't be wearing them. (Team with the least amount of games lost to foot injury).

All skates have issues. How the customer service dept handles it is the difference. As for this fit above I wish I was around to help out. Sounds like a little more expiernece with the skate may have made it a little less of an issue. Although it sounds to me like every base was covered. I have had a client albeit shorter over all similar stature and had a similar issue. 3 pair was a charm. In my opinion 2nd was fine but customer is always right. Happy camper now. I'm sure Rob will sort it he is a magician.

Not so much kickbacks but promotion help for Winterfest and Summerfest.

Chill...... it's simply an observation.

Automated skate sharpeners will be the norm in 10 years. However, IMO if the promotion this machine is getting on this site as one of the first people on it if not the first on here I believe JR should be getting something from it? That's my point it has ZERO to do with how I feel this machine can and cannot sharpen skates.

Although this is more of a Q and A for the most part it sure seems to me that's turned into more of a free promotion for this product. And as per the guidelines I personally think JR should be compensated for the amount of sales it seems to be generating. Similarly to another topic a while back about the pro shops. Just my opinion.

Yes, they sure do. I am sure if you speak with them and have Rob from True give his thoughts it will be sorted. He has always fixed any issues I have had.

I have done a few pairs of Ture/VH skates and I have yet to have a pair not close in tighter than that? What temp and length in the oven did they do?

Sorry I mean in this picture there is no holder on the boot. Have these been taken prior to heating and blade installation? Do you have an updated picture now with tongue in and so on? Also do you not wear any socks?

Are these pictures of the boot only with no holder on? Have they been heated yet?

Interesting. Be interested to know what the actual depth of hollow is with less pressure. A certain amount of pressure is required to make the hollow that is on the wheel.

You are correct they will NOT put on Edge or Tuuk holders unless you supply them. Right now I am 60 / 40 for True Holders

So I see on the IG story you can buy a machine at the big rink in Marlboro Mass now. Are you allowed to use it at the rink?

Leif, You're brief comment seemed to be more of an attack. And yes if you want a product reviewed ahead of time he has to do it that will cost you. If its product or cash. Mine was a promo for my business. TOP GEAR CANADA. The premis never got completely done as wanted as he lost/had stolen (cant remeber what he had said) the memory card for al the drone shots. Not sure how that works either. He had told me originally he did all reviews at no cost but the editing and so on was costly so he had to charge something. Sounded pretty fair to me more of the time to edit the film then to actually review it Also seems pretty honest on most I have seen. Hope that clarifies.

Not sure what you mean by your comment but pretty I have answered the question.

Listen. I simply made a statement about my expiernece with Hockey Tutorial. I put the confused thing on your post as I am confused now why I am being grilled when I answered the question. Talk to Chris. Simply go on his YouTube channel you can see my video there. Hes a decent guy but a business man. He charges to make videos it's that simple.

Simply pay and they make the video. Anywhere from 2000 to 5000.

Thanks for the clarification and info. Already messaged you
