    Bauer uses it in the ankle area of the Mission FZ-0 inline skate. Mission FZ-0

    One other thing you can try is SuperFeet (Carbon's) footbeds in the Supreme. SuperFeet offers a 60-day money back satisfaction guarantee sorting them out would be risk free. Just trim them to the footbeds that came with the S180's. While I wouldn't call the N2900 a soft boot the S180 is a stiffer boot with the composite (CURV) quarter package.

    I've seen it all. Skaters with the shallow/low volume foot skating in a high volume skate and those with a high volume foot in a low volume skate. That and in skates way too big. I tell customers that the scanner recommends best fit or primary fit. Everyone has a secondary fit. You just have to have a fitter who knows what he/she is doing and knows how to read the scan and scanner. Recommended sizing is a good starting point, but skater preference plays a role in final sizing,

    Not really sure I have the right answers for you. CAGONE bases their profiling recommendations on runner size. I skate in 254mm runners so going by CAGONE the longest flat spot for 254's would be 40mm. I tried ProSharp's system and out of the ones I tried I liked the triple and quad profiles, but in the end went back to a 35/65 done on a Pro Skate Balance machine. I've been told that a 35/65 correlates to a 13.5' radius. Using that information other glide spots should come out to this: 60mm = 13' 50mm = 12' 40mm = 11' 30mm = 10' 20mm = 9'

    Correct on the 1X Pro. I'd give the edge to the FT1 if it has D30 in the fingers too.
  6. mojo122
    Not that I know of. I was told it was to expensive to use in the fingers. I think if there was it would be well know from a marketing standpoint.
  7. mojo122
    Poron is pricey and I've only seen it used in the back hand of the glove. I'm guessing that D30 would be the same since it's a licensed product just like poron.

    Depends upon the stick build. Low kick has options of extra stiff, stiff, and medium. Mid kick has stiff, medium, and soft. High kick has medium, soft, and extra soft.

    Supreme is a shallower boot whereas the Vapor has more volume.

    The goal of most retailers is not to fit you to level of one's play and what is best, but rather to put you or your child in the most expensive skate you willing to pay for.

    A few questions: What size are the skates? What size footwear do you normally wear? Did they have the 3D Skate Lab and scan your feet?
  12. mojo122
    Better footbed and a better attachment system for the tendon guard.
  13. mojo122
    What size is that? I weighed the size 8 sample skate with the new holder and steel and it came in at 750 grams. Skate needs a couple of more improvements IMO, but the weight reduction is a good one.
  14. mojo122
    Locking mechanism looks solid. With profiling and sharpening you're probably going to go through steel with the lower profile runner quickly.
  15. mojo122
    Just my thoughts...while you certainly don't want him in a skate too stiff you also don't want him in a skate too soft. Both of those can hold him back.
  16. mojo122
    I'd agree with what you've said here. Right now you see a lot of P92 variants because that's what the pros grew up using. So having gotten them to where they are they just make some tweaks here and there. The newest trend is towards the P28 curve so that will probably eventually take over. There are some of us on this forum who grew up using Easton Iginla, Modano, and Drury curves. 2 of the those are gone while the 3rd is on its way out.
  17. mojo122
    Guess it all depends on how old the steel was and the expertise of the sharpener(s).
  18. mojo122
    Plus 1 on trying a profile. The fact that you felt okay skating north/south but had trouble going east/west sounds like adjusting from a shorter profile to a longer one. I usually recommend skaters get at least 10-hours on new skates before making changes.
  19. mojo122
    Skater preference. You can get that at retail if you go custom.

    I find the 2S Pro tongue flexes just fine. From a performance standpoint it offers more performance than the 1S did. My only complaint is that the felt is too thick where it comes off the toecap. It does compress rather nicely or at least mine has after 9 months of skating 4 times/week. If someone isn't getting proper forward flex in the 2S Pro or 2X Pro it could be, that being a pro level skate it's too much skate for their skating ability.

    6EE...Huge difference after molding. I've always worn Supremes but this skate has me on the fence.
  22. mojo122
    Love to see side and back views of Chara with that same helmet. Not sure that it fits him right?
  23. mojo122
    The thermoform-able properties of the 2X Pro are amazing. To me the new tongue makes it feel less bulky than the 1X 2.0.
  24. mojo122
    The 2X is a nice skate for what it delivers at its' price. However, if you had APX2's and liked the stiffness and performance of that skate you might be disappointed in the end. 2X Pro is an updated APX2.

    I see 2 sticks there that are perfect for SummerJam...
