Screenshot from IG, sorry I forgot who posted it. Finally a good look at the new Jetspeed. Looks like they're using the Forc composite, toe caps and tongues from the latest Tacks. I think they look pretty fantastic.

You think the two are the same??? Personal preference is different from increased or enhanced performance...which is what you were eluding to earlier. BTW, I know all about those examples and could probably add a few more.

Meh, I'm not buying it...well not fully. I have said here many times, some things work for players some things don't. While I truly believe in that I don't think it has all that much of an impact on elite level professionals. They've put in too much work for me to buy that. We're talking the new all time leading goal scorer, not some plug who put up 40 out of nowhere.

Not to be Danny Downer here but I think we all would agree that its not the stick scoring the goals, it's the player.

So you think the store is covering up employee theft, wouldn't that be bad for their business? Or am I misreading it?

Could they be stuck in Customs? I'm surprised UPS or the store weren't more helpful. If the store has an account they should have a higher level of support than the average joe.

My guess, the new boots have modified the angle of your foot/ankle. Maybe you pronate slightly in your old skates, not uncommon with old broken down skates. The new skates have you more neutral. Just a guess

I wonder if these experiences are exclusive to the coated steel. I know someone that raves about his BT steel. He is also a Sparx owner, not mention of issues sharpening.

Totally agree on the sharpening of BT. Total PIA.

The truth is out there.... Both are listed as a 5 but who knows if they are exact or not, same goes for the pattern.

Especially if you aren't worried about growing out of them.

I passed on a pair of Warriors shortly after the Jets Heritage classic game. Not this time. I just cut them off using a small pair of wire cutters. It took all of 10 minutes. You can barely tell they were ever there.

Just arrived. Still in the process of removing the shot blockers.

It was free and I didn't like it. So I have this really flat ring that I never use. Hmm, maybe I could use it to grind off the first few passes of new steel or in the odd chance I sharpen for someone else and they require many many many passes to un-bleep their edges... When it dies it dies. I won't replace it or be buying a flat grind. Im simply pointing out an alternate way to use a tool you may already have. Especially if that tool is going unused.
