    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.

    Weststar in Mississauga has it and uses it on all fits. I had a customer with an odd issue. I sent him there amd it worked to fix his issue.

    That for sure is glue residue. Sometimes it can seep out after a baking when not there when you first see it. I can assure you that will not be an issue at all. I thought you were talking about the flap on the tendon guard that flips up to make it easier to change.
  9. oldtrainerguy28
    You mean the material covering the tendon guard?

    Canada Germany game. 2nd most used skate in the game. Bauer then True then CCM.

    After 600 fits i can tell you 35% of my customers are on the 3rd and 4th pairs. I have maybe 10% that either decided not for them or went to another skate. I recently had an OHL player that swore X brand was the best but his feet were killing him. Mom and Dad asked if he could try my son's that he had grown out of. Coach said his skating is even better and that was his strength being he is a smaller guy. But I have other guys at that level and higher that tried them and are like no thanks. Not for everyone.

    One came up to get his True skates and brought his old ones that were done on Sparx as he said that's all he had. As you have pointed out. The level was off and he called me after he skated and said mine was far better but he couldn't ship his extra set back and forth because of duties which I totally understand.
  13. oldtrainerguy28
    Do you have a friend in the area that is a Dentist and has True Skates?
  14. oldtrainerguy28
    Thanks JR. Will read up on it.
  15. oldtrainerguy28
    What's that supposed to mean???. LoL.

    I never said the problem was fixed I said they added a layer to make it better. I am sure there are lots of things to make the whole skate better. | But again it all comes down to the better fit. It just is that for the majority of people. Could the whole skate cosmetically be better? Of course, I do not think anyone here (True/VH fans) said it couldn't be. Have they fitted and satisfied every client? NOPE. But....if your tendon guard breaks you can replace it. Rivets come loose they can be replaced. Blade alignment not much of an issue there. Fit pretty much spot on. So if the main fault in the skate is rivets replaced and excess glue, for the most part, I think that's not to shabby.

    So the grinding wheel doesn't go all the way to the end of start from the beginning of the blade on your Sparx machine?
  18. oldtrainerguy28
    What's that? Never heard of it. Every machine i have brought there was made for 220.
  19. oldtrainerguy28
    Power is the problem. All motors run slightly slower and therefore with out a proper converter it won't be very efficient. I do skates in Australia on a regular machine and the speed difference is huge. Never get the same finish as here in Canada. The only one that was close was the variable speed blademaster portable I believe the National team has now.
  20. oldtrainerguy28
    Really a face palm? Explain.
  21. oldtrainerguy28
    Disagree on 2 points. 1. I personally am able to maintain the profile and adjust 1 time per season without rounding toes and heels. 2. Sparx and Pro sharp round the toes and heels on every sharpening therefore change the overall profile. Neither are perfect yet. So it will not maintain through the life of the blade because it shortens the life.
  22. oldtrainerguy28
    Actually I am pretty sure it was mentioned before that it has been addressed by adding an inner layer over the carbon fiber so the rivets can dig in. And rightly pointed out by JR some shops do not have the correct size when installing or replacing rivets. And tge copper base does an excellent job flattening out tge rivets.
  23. oldtrainerguy28
    In order for the profile to be a true 6 ft or 7ft (Sorry can't remember what has what) even according to Pro Sharp the toe needs to be taken down to match were the pro sharp profile starts. Most shops DO NOT blend the toe as you described. And even if done a little in most cases its not enough to match the starting of the quad.
  24. oldtrainerguy28
    No
  25. oldtrainerguy28
    The Quad .5 is closet to what you have but most places dont have it. It's an 8 10 12 14. If I was to do Quads that would be my go to. Not a fan of the others at all. To much waisted blade if done properly. Most places do not blend them in the front. Pretty sure you could just order your own template as well and have them do that?
