I've now skated in my MyBauer Ultrasonics for 10-hours. No complaints and the break in was much easier than that for the 2S Pro (mostly because of the tongue). I feel that it only took a few skates to dial them in. Hard to compare them directly to the retail Ultrasonic since I opted for the Classic Felt tongue instead of the retail Reflex Pro tongue. Overall very happy with the fit and performance so far.
-
That is correct. Aftermarket LS Pulse and Pulse TI is 10'
-
You have to look at specific regions though. Here in the Northeast the P92 and P88 continue to be most popular although the P28 is picking up steam. PM9 and P14 are gone from the Supreme line and I expect that will continue with Nexus and Vapor.
-
Trend is to have fewer curves at retail. I love the 92M and if they were to bring anything new I think a P28M would be popular.
-
You could try calling a few local retailers. Seems like initial stock was limited. You might get lucky.
-
I've found the toe box in the 2X Pro roomier than the Ultrasonic. I was a little concerned when waiting for my MyBauer Ultrasonic because my left foot width wise is a EEE+ and I was downsizing one full size from the recommended size. However both width and toe box are perfect.
-
Not overthinking. Do you know if any other skate manufacturers are doing this?
-
I never said Bauer told me, did I?
-
Why would you state that when I already confirmed that size 6 runners are profiled to a Quad XS? Bauer partnered with ProSharp and are profiling runners with Quad profiles based on ProSharp's recommendations of 3XS, XXS, XS for runner sizes 1 through 6 and then Quad 0 on size 7 and up.
-
Depends on the runner length. My 254 runners are profiled with a Quad XS (6-8-11-12). Quad 0 is 6-9-11-13 and my understanding is the Quad profile that is on sizes 7 and up.
-
I never had a problem flexing the tongue on the 2S Pro. My complaint was that the tongue was too thick coming off the toecap. Took a while for that area to fully compress, but was nice once it finally did. I went with a traditional felt tongue to see how that compares performance wise.
-
What exactly what/are you looking for? The majority of people don't need anything more than what you get from MyBauer.
-
Haven't seen a custom worksheet/excel file in a couple of years. Was color change an option on there or is just a MyBauer option? 2 different levels of custom. MyBauer customs came in. I went with the gunmetal color and a felt tongue. Fit is unbelievable and finish is good. It will be a couple of days before I get to skate on them and get my first impression of them on the ice.
-
If you're getting fit by someone who doesn't have a clue then I'd say the blame lies with the manufacturers and their sales reps for not teaching the shops that they sell to.

CCM Super Tacks X Helmet Interesting...
-
There is a noticeable change in stiffness when transitioning from a youth skate to a junior. I normally don't like to put anyone in a skate stiffer than a 3S, X2.9, 9380, or 76K. For example 2X and 3S Pro are stiff, composite boots (nice skates, but could be too stiff for that transition). -
Doesn't work this way for either Bauer or CCM.
-
Top 3 Supreme skates (3S on size 4 and up) come with a Quad 0 profile. Junior 3S have a 13' profile. Not sure why, but Customs come with stock 10' steel. If you select customize the steel option for an additional $50 you can choose Quad 0, Zuperior, or a few single profiles. The $50 covers the profile and name/number (if you want it) on the runner. Toe geometry on stock Pulse TI and LS Pulse is more similar to step and different from what comes on the retail skates.
-
Not looking to fan the True debate, but I see guys jump into them and then at some point jump out. There were 3 Bruins players (Carlo, Chara, and Coyle) in them and they all switched out.
-
Marketing 101... From experience I find the young players want Bauer or CCM because their favorite NHL Player wears them or because their teammate Johnny does. Older players who have always skated in Bauer or CCM and haven't had any issues tend to stay in that skate. Mako was a niche skate and True might just remain that as well.
-
Interesting...
-
Sorry, I don't recall CCM or Easton offering fit stock demos to retailers. If True has deep pockets and can afford it within their business model then good for them.
-
From a business perspective that would be cost prohibitive.
-
Having to work has nothing to do with it. My point is you cannot take the same skate and continuously bake it over and over again until someone finally buys it. There's a point when you'll damage the material and it will break down. Don't want to take this thread off track but the majority of folks can try on unbaked new skates and determine which one fits and feels better. Then the molding process makes it fit better and more comfortable.
-
If they need to be baked just to see if it fits then that could possibly deter small shops as well as bigger retailers from carrying them or carrying decent stock. Why carry a new skate that you might have to bake multiple times before moving it off the shelf or have it sit there indefinitely? Not out of loyalty but strictly economics. Money in versus money out. Stores' goals are to stock what sells and then replenish and not tie up money on inventory that doesn't move. Bauer and CCM own the retail market share when it comes to skates and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Might be the reason why Warrior has done everything BUT skates.
