A "Heavy" CCM Jetspeed FT4 Pro Stick??
stick9 replied to clarkiestooth's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I'm not debating that. All I am saying is, maybe the seller didn't know. Maybe he thought everything was legit and he was simply relaying the info he believed to be true. I mean, it's possible right...? -
I scored some FT1 pro stocks last night. Hopefully they fit how I want and offer a bit more protection than 2S Pro's.

I think the point people are trying to make is he may not know they are knock offs. -
A "Heavy" CCM Jetspeed FT4 Pro Stick??
stick9 replied to clarkiestooth's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
By all accounts this seller looks to be reputable. I frequent SLS and looking at his seller stats I wouldn't think twice about buying from him. The question comes down, was the OP mislead. -
Yeah, I ain't getting past the look of those Halo mitts. The Trues look interesting. I'll have to try on a pair next time I am at PH. Some Spezza pro stocks would be perfect, 13.5 in a narrow fit....yes please.
-
Does anyone still offer a narrow fit? I know warrior did at one point. Are custom gloves still a thing?

Try skipping the next to last eyelet. I didn't like how my 100k's felt when I skipped the top eyelet and I didn't get enough forward flex when I laced them fully. Skipping the next to last eyelet ended up being perfect. Give them time. The more you skate in them the better they will feel.
-
Yeah, same here. Both my shirts are UA and have held up really well. Best part, they are super easy to find.

I usually do 4 passes when switching hollows. If skated on the 3/4 Fire. Sharp is not a word I would use to describe it.

Being an older guy who has zero experience with modern skates. You'll probably hate the high end Supreme. I'd look for something lower in the line or try a mid tier CCM. Personally, CCM's 90k might be a good option for someone like yourself. It's not as rigid as most modern skates and it priced nicely at $549. One benefit of going with CCM is their 90 day satisfaction guarantee.

And more room everywhere else too. That means a wider heel and mid foot. What happens in six months when those Wides break in and you got zero heel lock. You need to spend more time in them to know for sure. One thing to note. I know that area has a prominent bump out where the padding ends and the toe cap begins. Maybe flattening out that bump will help.

It's not a bad idea. Especially if you have rings you don't use. I do the same with an Fire ring I don't like. For example. I recently got some new steel so instead of doing 10 passes with my 3/4 ring. I did 4-6 passed with that old Fire ring to flatten things out then finished with my desired 3/4 hollow. I'm still doing 10 total passes. I'm just not burning thru my good ring in the process. I wouldn't do this every time. It actually takes more passes to cut a new hollow than it does to maintain one. I find this method works well for new steel, really bad edges or a change in hollow. I find going flatter than your normal hollow works best. What I am unsure of is how this affects runner life. Am I removing more steel than I need to by doing this.
-
Cyano isn't very forgiving. It might be helpful to start with some double sided adhesive so you can experiment with placement.
-
The Fire rings are ok. You don't get to dial in grip vs glide the way you do with a FBV. Which is why some find it kinda meh. Yes, you get more glide than a ROH but you give up some grip in the process, much like you do with a ROH.

Back to back testing of some new and current sticks
stick9 replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I wasn't the one who made the comparison. FWIW, I don't believe sony is selling them at cost. They may not be making a profit on them yet due to part shortages and development costs. It's not unheard of. I just doubt Sony is doing it with that particular product. -

I'd say development costs are the biggest driver. Materials and manufacturing costs shouldn't be overlooked. At the end of the day it really comes down to what people are willing to pay. -

stick9 replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
As of September Sony has sold just over 13 million PS5's. So there's that. There are other factors but it's mostly because people are buying them. -

That's not surprising. What I find surprising is the number of people buying those sticks. -
Price lowered. LS3 runners swapped out for LS5 carbon runners.

I wouldn't expect insane losses when you get back into things. Burning fat is much different, and harder than burning off a big meal. If you want to see real gains youll need to switch up your diet as well.

I'd trust they published the correct info. Though their may be some grey areas. Check out the section labeled Voltage Rating. https://incompliancemag.com/article/product-markings-and-labels/

It's a 24v DC power supply, not 120v AC like the sparx. That's probably what's throwing you off. The math checks out.

I still have an OG Mako somewhere in the garage. Nice stick back when it was new. I'd say Nexus but a Jetspeed would be worth a look. Plenty of pro stock Nexus and jetspeeds out there. Might even find a heel curve or two.

In that case. Disregard my statement about an assembly error. I'd talk with the rep. Something doesn't seem right.
