    I was thinking the same thing. Looks even, good work, but might feel off at first. Lean too far forward or back and you're off kilter.

    Nice work with the custom paint job. I liked my Codes. Watch out for those Genesis wheels though, the hubs crack. Seemed to crack at the worst time for me too. Don't know if those are the 2nd generation Gens though; I think Labeda supposedly corrected the defect. Never took the chance to find out though. Switched to some Rink Rat mini cores at that time. Where'd you get that skate anyway? I had my Codes at least 3 years ago, maybe longer.

    Ha, good points. They could release a tapered shaft and just call it the U+ Taper. Whatever...I just really liked my V130.

    How come no shafts? I'd definitely like to see a U CL shaft, even an OctoLite. I have a V130 that is still one of my all time favorite shafts. The thing just keeps going and at this point I think I'm going to have to forcefully retire it or else it will never go away.

    Blaxploitation?

    Fris - How do you like the Fuzion Mini wheels?

    I wasn't sure. the Dolo 2s look exactly the same. The PC (Players Club) logo is on the top on Dolo 2 as well.

    I know everything is personal preference and all, but why would you put a Zcarbon standard blade in your Warrior Dolomite 2 piece? You're losing the taper! Unless it's a broken Dolo OPS, of course.

    I'm noticing the same pain with my Mission 9500 Rollers...inside part of my heal, very painful, goes numb after awhile. But the pain radiates to other parts of my foot and I can't have them on anymore.

    495g for a OPS is not so light. Even the shaft is heavy at 350gs. An Ultra Lite is heavy nowadays, and what's that 295gs? I do like the looks though. Very sleek.

    7! Damn. Do you skate bent over at all?

    What happens with a lie that's too small? I know high lies result in pucks going under your heel. So I'm guessing low lies result in blades going under toes? Also, the stick will be extremely close to your body or further away?

    Damn. I'm a Modo user, but this 4 lie business is bothering me. I know I can't use lies that are too big (ie 6) but a lie that's too small? Hmm. I'll probably have to use the Robitaille cuz it's a 5. I have a feeling it's got that nasty Iginla toe on it though. I also really like the Smyth patter, it looks like Ilya Kovalchuk's pro-pattern. I think someone mentioned it was. But again, the lie is too small. What's with all the 4 lies? Does Warrior think everyone is a 4 lie? I dig the clothes though. I would wear some of the stuff in the catalog.

    Which pair is your favorite? And don't give us any political answers about this one has that and that one has this... Let's say you had a big game. A must win. Which skates would you wear?

    Sorry SteveO. Don't take it personally. You're relatively new and don't have alot of posts so it was more of an example than citing you specifically. It's just that as you've been on this long enough, and you start to see the same questions over and over, well it just becomes...repititious to put it nicely. But I agree with you. Easton has released some of the stuff early, so it's confusing. I'm not really sure why they release some stuff, and the rest in the Spring. The only thing I can think of is Christmas/Holiday season.
  16. #96
    That must burn you up knowing you have a great pair of skates waiting for you. It would hurt even more be able to see them and take pics, knowing I wouldn't be able to use them for another 2 weeks.
  17. #96
    The people that don't know better, fine. But guys that have been around should know better. It just proves that people aren't reading all of the thread, cuz it was mentioned numerous times. But to play both sides, Easton is a bit confusing. They say "06" stuff, and you hear it's coming out next spring, but you go down to the LHS or look online and you see new 350s, new paintjob SLs, the new ST blades, etc, and I can see where it might confuse the consumer.

    Mods...perhaps we could just pin "It comes out in the Spring" on top of all equipment related threads. Steve...It comes out in the Spring.

    As mentioned early in this thread, the Heatley will be a 5 lie Iginla with a totally square toe.

    Netminder, are you and MissConduct married or something? If I ever have the priveledge of shooting on ya, I think I'm going high-blocker or 5-hole. :lol:

    For finesse and beauty: Paul Coffey and Brett Hedican. Soo damn smooth. With little effort, they just glide over the ice. For speed: Bure, Gaborik, Modano (up to a few years ago), even Marty Straka. For strength: Guerin, Thornton, Murray, Jags. All those guys are strong MoFos, hard to knock off, while still getting a good skate. Even Lindros is pretty quick for a big guy. Kovale is pretty strong on the ice too. Overal: Fedorov. Fantastic skater. Honorable mention: Marty Rucinsky, he's really smooth out there. Very skilled skater. Old Timers (haven't seen too many old timers actually play, so they are recent old timers): Gartner, Russ Courtnall.

    I had a Franklin retail Guerin which I felt was alot like the Iginla. maybe the curve was a little more mid-toeish than the Easton Iggy though. Pretty nice. If you look at his pictures on Getty, it's pretty clear it's a Drury/YP. It's funny. One thing I've learned from MSH was the ability to flip through pictures of games and stuff and pick out the YP patterns. It's amazing how many players use it specifically or slight variations. I personally hate flip and openess of any kind in a blade.

    Yeah those are the old Pro and Retail graphics from a few years ago. I just got a catolog in the mail, and it says that the Innovative Roberts pattern is a Round toe. Not square. But in the pics provided above, the Roberts is a square toe. What gives? Which is which? The pics kinda look like my old Inno Selanne Pro from hockeyandskateoutlet. Im guessing pics were his Pro pattern? So what does the retail Roberts look like?
