P106s added

New and uncut 77 flex. Vapor 1X2.0SE build with grip. Asking $270 shipped within the US or trade for Bauer P92/CCM P29 75-77.

C Forefoot, AAA heel. For reference a retail D vapor was D/A.

Based on the weave of the shaft he’s referring to the G3 build. Curve he’s always used P92/Sakic.

I do the same and think it dampens the feel a bit. Could be placebo but hockey players are weird and I would put myself in that category. I also wonder if using wood implies a less premium overall product because it’s...wood. Especially at $299. If anything I could see them putting composite plugs in instead but that would cannibalize that item as a separate sale.

Price lowered. Hoping to move ASAP

Sharpened once by JR and skated on twice. Mint condition. Asking $95 shipped within the US OBO https://imgur.com/a/gJzGCQI

Boots are in great shape and still very stiff. 263 edge holders, thin black Classic Supreme tongues, standard eyelets. LS Fusion steel and Superfeet yellow insoles. Heel lock is unreal on these. Normal cosmetic wear and a few repairs on the edges of the tongues to prevent fraying. Asking $125 + shipping within the US. Open to trades as well. https://imgur.com/a/UFSIncn

The shift to overseas production is part of it but doesn’t tell the whole story. I’ve owned a few pairs of overseas retail Bonafide X and overseas pro stock gloves built to Franchise (dressed as an AX1) or QR1 specs and they’re way nicer than the newer models. The real question is why on earth did they ditch the blooming MIA/Franchise cuff for whatever they decided to put on the AX1/QX/DX. It’s the #1 reason why the glove doesn’t feel nearly as good as the older model and I’d be curious as to what data/feedback/focus group suggested that was a good idea.

I’m sure they’ll look even more “sick” after the graphics get chipped into oblivion like on every other CCM skate.

It’s the old X60. If you can’t find an G15/APX2/APX the 2X Pro is probably your best bet albeit not ideal.

I couldn’t find anything recent on these - are they still alive and kickin? I bought a set of the grey customs back in 2013 and they are easily one of the best hockey purchases I’ve ever made. Speedplates don’t offer the same custom fit, the heel cup/cradle isn’t comfortable and the build quality isn’t as good. Looking to source another pair or take recommendations on a similar product - I bought mine from Westside Skate in NYC originally.

I’m liking my CCMs so far. My biggest issue with a normal everyday mask was that I found having something wrapped around my ears all skate to be pretty annoying. Covering the nose isn’t ideal but it seems more aligned with the intended purpose which is to try to keep people safe. As a younger guy in a lot of the pick up I play in these days I’d rather wear something more conservative. The Bauer product seems like an absolute scam if I’m being blunt.

P88 is super popular from what I’ve seen. If you don’t want a massive open toe or rockered blade it’s your only option. I’d rather see them experiment with quirky stuff for the 4th and 5th options in the lineup in limited quantities rather than offering an max version of what’s already there. Stuff that could still have mainstream appeal like P90T, Laine, etc.

I’d look into a set of streamlined lacrosse rib pads. Many of them are low profile enough to toss under your shoulder pads without them disrupting your natural range of motion.

Seems like 90% of the NHL wears either that pad or the RBZ.

New condition, never baked or sharpened. Include new speed plates as well. Retail boot. Asking $350 shipped within the US OBO or trade for a 1X or 2X pro in a 7D. https://imgur.com/a/mjKXBgr

Dragonglass!

Part of the problem is the Mako came out when Easton was going through a pretty steep decline in popularity. If Bauer re-released the Mako II with an Edge holder, new graphics, and called it the UltraBoomADVSonicLite with a superdynaflex tendon guard it would probably fly off the shelves at levels the Mako never came close to.

These are new never used, clarino palms. #91 written in sharpie on both palms. Asking $100 shipped gifted within the US obo. Open to trades for another pair of Black 13 inch mitts. Will listen on most stuff in great to new condition except Nexus as they have way too much volume for my liking. In the US for shipping. https://imgur.com/a/dhywCqw

Does Mylec count? Only brand to this day where you could change your PM9 to a P28 within the same shift with a quick stomp of the sneaker. Still waiting for someone to match that tech. 😆

P89 is legendary - along with P106 going back to the Bauer Linden days. P88 is much more closed and a deeper curve by comparison. That plus the lack of rocker on the toe makes it a no go for me. If they “modernized” the P88 to shave the toe and open it up just a smidge it would be super viable from my perspective. Easton E36 was close - Bauer P14 and CCM P30 are too extreme in terms of openness/twist on the toe.

The benefit is how quickly you can get the shot off your blade and from different body positions/angles. Shot quickness > pure shot speed. It’s also important to go with what you feel most accurate with. A 100mph shot is useless if it’s the equivalent of a cross corner dump in.
