    Cole is on Step Steel. As for that Marlies team with Hosang and McDavid its funny about the story because it's so true. However in the final game of tge OHL cup McDavid was told he was falling because his blades were so low. I offered to switch them and match the profile. Josh said he should. But the captain said it would be bad luck. So he left them just sharpened. He fell on a break away to tie the game and his team lost in the finals. Since then he has always had fresh steel. Profiled and sharp.

    Actually Stick9 is correct. there are many guys have no clue of profile and or hollow. Some like to learn and some just say not to sharp or sharper. I worked with McDavid at the OHL cup and earlier on in that season and he was at 5/8ths. If he changed later in the OHL not sure?

    Kinda confused on this post. Its not in properly. It needs to be seated better. If you warm the holder with a hair dryer and slam it on rubber it will go in but then you need to tighten it more.

    If you want the whole story be glad to tell yo but I wont smear the guy publicly like he did to me. Bitter yes and for a VERY valid reason.

    If you really want it not Sparx vs the Pros you may want to adjust some of your ad's. They are kind of off putting.

    How long did it take him to Master The Art of sharpening? Pretty sure I am still learning after 30 years at it?

    Just curious if anyone at Sparz has ever sharpened a skate and if so what is their experience in doing so? Or did they just build the machine to try and fill a niche gap?

    Sorry been swamped with training at the skating lab. And VH sales and sharpening. Well from what I can see and keep knowing the way Rob dies the fits they look about 2 mm to long.... however sometimes when measurements come through they are a smidge off. If he had used a toe plug for size of feet differences (because some are large) then they may have a slight bit extra to fit the holder requested. But to be honest I didn't see the drawings the measurements the old skates the present skates so it's really hard to say!
  14. oldtrainerguy28
    Sharpening skates is overrated? Say what?

    Really heat the top 4 eyelids and put a puck in there to hold the area open. You will find it much easier to put on and off. Also go to good content laces and only do up snuggly. And try one eyelid down should be able to get all the flexion you need.

    So far 57 fits with the scanner in Toronto area. Not sure what guys are getting them. They are not cheap thats for sure!
  17. oldtrainerguy28
    I have put in 12 orders in the last 10 days you may want to get it in quick Pro guys from Euro's to NHL are ordering in record numbers. Fitted another HHOF player on Saturday that's 3 now. Lots of NCAA and so on in them as well. They really are taking off! Won't be long though and Bauer and CCM will bring out something to compare. Prety sure VH has a couple tricks coming that will help keep them ahead...in the fit area!

    No only 1 Tendon guard available

    Somethings you can just never change with some guys!

    Thank you so much for finding this! Awesome!~

    Gotta love this tweet i sent out. 5 pairs showing at the end of the game. At one point there was 7 pairs on the ice during the game at once.
  22. oldtrainerguy28
    ya its probably my imagination. LOL OOOPs sorry for not making 1000 % clear I was kidding.
  23. oldtrainerguy28
    It is weird there are some that don't get loose but not many. I would be willing to bet there is some play in everyones though. I haven't found a pair yet without a little. In comparison to the LS2 that is. If they discontinue it someone will pick it up if they haven't already and tweak it and come back out with it. Besides there are still guys using Tuuk's in the NHL let alone having change to the LS2.

    IMPO the idea was not tested properly in all aspects. As most companies do they don't think about the sharpening aspect and what you can see from wear and tear. As I stated early on I saw this as an issue about 2 months into the whole project. I am just not sure why people think its ok for a blade to wobble in the holder for the ease of changing it? Why not make it better and come back with a better design?

    Just wondering what your length measurements were as the fittings do not go on your previous skates. IE if your a 5.5 Reebok/CCM you most likely would be SR.

      Hey! they're sub 250 - I'll be re-measuring tonight to verify. I'm currently in custom Graf's.
