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. -

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.
-
Buy retail 😉 If you bought them together. Chances are they were made at the same plant. I bet this was nothing more than a simple assembly error. It happens.
-
Do one or the other. What's the point of adding a heel lift if you need to have your runners pitched, get what I am saying? Add the lift and have your steel put back to neutral and never worry about it again.
-
Cant really say. I have never used an 88.
-
In terms "hook" the P90 falls between the p28 and p92. Warriors W71 probably has the most "hook" of any pattern available at retail.
-
It's not that they can't, it's that they won't. Least not for the masses.
-
Yes, each boot has it's own unique make-up. Which will make the skate feel different on your foot, but both are built to fit the same foot shape or profile. Yes, the FT4 felt different than the 100k but they both fit my foot about the same. When I say fit, I mean length, width & depth. The point being, if you're in a tapered FT4 and switch to a Ribcor, your still in a tapered fit.
-
You have to ignore everything they've told you in the past. CCM has changed the way they build the boot so a player can choose a skate based strictly on their game, not the shape of their foot. Speaking strictly the retail offerings from CCM. During my fitting I was able to try on all three CCM skates. The Jetspeeds and ribcors were part of the three fit system, the Tacks was not (that will happen on the Tacks skate). Anyway, a tapered Jetspeed fit fairly close to a tapered Ribcor. There were some minor fit differences between the two but not enough to where one fit and the other didn't. The Tacks felt completely different, which it should since it's not part of the fit system. You also have some levers to pull to adjust the fit without going custom. You can swap out the tongues and footbeds to increase/decrease volume. Pure does a decent job breaking it down. I found their comps to Bauer pretty spot on too.

Selling my lightly used pair of 70k player skates size 6.5D. These skates are in excellent condition inside and out. Skates come with Bauer 254mm Edge holders and Bauer LS5 carbon runners. Also included are a set of CCM orthomove footbeds with inserts. $209 shipped within North America.
-
You can always shim the rear tower. Or add a small shim under the heel of the footbed inside the skate.
-
Compared to a Bauer, they're pretty much identical until you get to the toe. The 28 has that crazy rounded toe. The 90 does not. It's more like the 92 in that regard.
-
I refer to it as a less aggressive 28 with a flatter rocker, or a more aggressive 92 with a bit more hook on the toe and a 5 lie. I switched from the 28 and never looked back. It helped solve some issues I had with the 28. Which I fully admit may have been I just don't have the hands to get the most out of the 28. Cant say how it compares to an 88.
