  1. IIRC it’s a deep heel with a round toe. You probably won’t find a clone these days. CCM P15 pro stock is probably your best bet, or Bauer P02/Lidstrom if you’re ok with a square toe.
  2. Nexus is cut to 62.25 inches standing up against a wall. A few surface nicks on the blade but otherwise in excellent shape. Retail stick, original first gen 1N. Asking $75 shipped gifted within the US. Also willing to trade for a 75-82 P106 or Bergeron Pro Stock Stick - no Supreme or True https://imgur.com/a/JUkPIp6
  3. Yes please. Best skate of all time.
  4. And 8k-9k-11k before that. They should just call the next one “This one goes to 11k” and be done with it.
  5. That is a beautiful looking skate.
  6. Based on the strapping system it looks like it’s from the 6052- Ultra Tacks line- probably falling in between those two pads. Looks like an SMU, but a really nice pad nonetheless.
  7. I used to play with a 95-100 flex back in the day- granted I’m not as strong as I used to be but I’ve always felt much more stable on the puck and my shots feel more consistent with a stick that doesn’t have much “give” or torque. I recently went from 75 back to 85 and had a similar revelation to you- though I probably knew this all along and have been drinking the whippy flex kool aid for a while now!
  8. I’d look at the Nexus before the Supreme if puck feel is what you’re looking for. I’ve also had good luck with the Tacks line as the puck seems to really stick to that blade. RBZ, Speedburner, etc have notoriously (relatively) awful puck feel and are best suited for standing in place and ripping one timers. The blades are literally hollow with no to minimal foam so i get where you’re coming from.
  9. Lighter and more mobile while still being a tank.
  10. Looks awesome- nice “bling” as well. 😃
  11. I’m 5’9 and wear 14s over the tongue- unless you have really long legs relative to your torso I can’t see how those would fit you. 13s also drop you into a junior pad in most brands which have a slimmer profile than the same pad in a senior size.
  12. That big silver heel looks very Mako 1 👌
  13. Coveted and rare among a few MSH gearheads doesn’t really mean anything to most shops. Makos didn’t exactly “fly off the shelves” when they were a current retail model.
  14. New and uncut, I have two of them. Grip shaft, T shape True UT Construction Open to trades for new/mint 75-82 P28s as well. $100 for 1 $195 for 2 Prices include shipping within the US https://imgur.com/a/42V76AE
  15. P50 is much more user friendly - come on CCM. As an aside- nice to see heel curves not completely dead.
  16. All of that information is readily available and/or pictured 99% of the time. I don’t have any less sympathy for someone who buys a pro stock skate online than someone who buys a stock skate “1.5 sizes down from their shoe size” and ends up with a clown shoe/skate. Uneducated/misled online shopper is the same in both cases. In fact I’d have more confidence buying something that is literally stamped “7” “D” “A” as opposed to trying to do the mental gymnastics required to discern that a Nexus D is actually a EE or that a 2015 CCM 6.5 is a 2017 CCM 7. For True this might be a little more difficult but I digress- it’s Monday and I’m grumpy.
  17. I have obscenely high arches- Sidas customs are the best I’ve used with the Bauer Speedplate being a close second.
  18. I want to say that’s similar in design to the original Bauer G3.
  19. The APX2 is a better stick than most models out today (and a number of pros still use the build). I would keep your expectations in check with regard to the new stick being an “upgrade” outside of your stick simply needing to be replaced. That said- 1X, Trigger, or QRL/QRE are your best bet for a similar feel and kick despite their use of gimmicky technology in the taper.
  20. Trigger is the best shooting stick I’ve ever used. Feel slightly lags behind the other two but if you play a “Laine” style game it’s the best stick for that purpose IMO. The shaft shapes are also slightly different on each - not a positive or negative, but a matter of preference worth calling out.
