  5. Broken Yellow Synergy Grip...Thinking about getting the Ak27 Shaft, I've heard good stuff about it
  6. One I haven't used it yet so durability I dunno about and Two that takes skill not a specific blade
  7. Is it just me or do those holders look too small for that boot? I think they are, those are old LS1 holders, all vapor xxx came with LS2's so those are either pro stocks or someone had swapped out the holder. Yeah they're way too short at the toe

  21. Bauer Vapor XXX Ht: 5'2" Wt: 110 lbs Feet: Big ankles, Big bone sticking out on the top of my foot and collapsing arches Introduction: A while back I bought a pair of Bauer Vapor V as recreational skates and loved the fit. After using Graf 705 (comfy but boot was too soft), another pair of 705 (killed my feet had to sell them) and Rbk 5k Pumps (destoyed my ankles) which all caused substantial pain, I decided to go back to Bauers Intangibles These are the best looking skates out there IMO even nicer than the One90s and new XXXXs. Bauer did a great job on the overall look of the skate which revamps the already good looking XXs. I also love the hydrophobic liner and despite my feet sweating a lot my skates don't smell all that bad....IMO :lol: Fit As soon as I put the skates on they felt perfect. They had Graf comfort with a boot that had perfect stiffness. I have large outside ankle bones (which oddly plagued me with the Pumps???) and I was delighted when these skates put no pressure on them. My only issue was the hard plastic in the tongue which put pressure on the affore mentioned foot bone but it was bearable and I soon forgot about it. Blade/Holder I had grown used to the Tuuk Custom +, E-Pro and Cobra holders and I loved the forward pitch of the LS2s. I've heard all about problems with the LS2 but so far (knock on wood) mine have been awesome, just a few puck marks. The steel stays sharp for a while so I can't complain. The forward pitch really helps to give me a more solid stance and stride. Protection Overall the protection of these skates is pretty good. Slashes and shots cause minimal pain but no skate can stop eveything without being 300lbs. My only problem occurred when a slapshot hit me on the inside of my heel (see picture) and after my foot buckled I realised it had hit a nerve and given me dead foot (it felt like hitting your funny bone but it didnt go away for 2-3 days) making playing the rest of the game a little tricky...walking was too. Durability These skates have held up superbly only minor scrapes on the holders and a couple on the boots. As I said before I have had no spontaneous explosion of my LS2s and these guys will hold up a quite bit longer. Conclusion Overall the lighness and perfect pitch of the skate have seemingly given me a much more powerful and solid stride and stance (I guess better technique too....). Unless I can find something incredible I will probably buy these skates again and I won't make the mistake of "experimentation" with the unknown without being 100% sure of comfort. These are definetely the best I've ever worn and would highly recommend them despite my dead foot issue...stupid feet <_< Overall: 9.3/10
  22. Give Jags a call :P nice pick up!
  23. If Warrior Ever makes skates i think thats what they'll call 'em :D
  24. More like the dreaded "Dressed Up Dolomite!" :lol: But on the inside, it says "SL"... haha Or One90 :P
