I'm looking at Tydan blades and just did the Tydan blade online assessment. They recommended a 30/60 cag one profile with a 3/4 hollow based on my weight (250). How accurate are their profiles? I saw that one person recommended starting at 25/40 profile I'm coming from a ls2 edge blades standard 5/8ths or 1/2 depending on availability (don't live in a area with great skate sharpening) .I have been skating for years and play men's league. Thoughts and feedback, thanks ?

Having trouble transitioning. I feel like I’m on stilts. I feel off balance. Those that made the change how long did it take to feel comfortable? Would profiling the pulse blade to a 9ft radius help? I live in a area where quality skate sharpening does not exist FYI ls2 edge blades are no longer available except on eBay and SS

flex feels like a bauer stick in terms of flex. not as stiff as the new ft4 pro

I ordered a " in stock" Nathan Mackinnon stick, blue line mid flex (85flex). I have used it in one men's league game so far. The stick has good balance and pop. I would say it is close to being on par with a bauer 2n pro. The blade is not as dampened. No it is not a ft4 or a geo (which I have used), but the stick works well and feels good. The Mackinnon curve is taking a little getting use to coming from a p28. The curve IMO is very similar to a CCM P90tm. It is a little flatter and the lie is lower (which I like as I prefer a 5 lie)

does anyone know anything about these sticks? www. prostockhockeysticks.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YLQahGCvA0 searched and could not come up anything

it took several stick and puck sessions to get balance back and the ability to stop. I lost a lot of lateral mobility, but at age 58 I didn't have alot of that left anyway. I could play men's league without pain and still compete, which made me happy

I had arthritis in both knees and went through several braces and cortisone shots before final getting TKR in both knees. Any light compression knit/elastic brace from the local pharmacy will work, just don't get them too tight or they interfere with you skating. FYI you can play again after TKR. I did it in 4months, but it involved dedication to doing the therapy I was given and time in the gym building back leg strength I used these: uflex athletics knee compression sleeve (amazon)

I am looking for some new gloves. I have narrowed my search down to two pro stock gloves. One has pearl mustang palms and the other is digital palm. I am looking for a thinner type palm. I read the information on Pro Stock Hockey about the hockey glove palms. The information was helpful, but I am looking for additional feedback from others who have used either type of palms. Thanks

ccm P90TM vs ccm P90 retail

got my P29TM from hockey stickman today. The curve has slight kink at the toe compared to p29 retail. Slightly larger blade but not as big as p92m appears to have a lower lie compared to p29 retail. nice stick I would post pic but I don't know how to do that from my phone sorry

looking for a men's league to play in during the summer in the cleveland area

Interesting. How can you mix and match shaft and blades? 2s pro is supposedly a "true one piece stick" , 1x lite is a "fused 2 piece stick" and a 2n pro is a "co-molded" stick

looking at stevens pants with pads and Bauer offiical's referee pant with intergrated girdle. I have read a complaint that Bauer's pants are very shiny, is that true? Looking for pros and cons to each Thanks!

Has anyone tried one of these sticks? Saw and held one at the LHS. Felt better balanced than the QR edge and the shaft did not feel as square
