Profile 1 – Detroit 1 (10/20) Steel - Bauer LS5 254 Hollow- 90/50 FBV Background Older skater who has been skating for over 40-years. Played high school hockey and some college hockey. Currently playing 3 times a week at a competitive level. Over the years I have tried many different profiles ranging from doubles, a triple, couple of quads, and Pro Skate Balance’s 35/65. I started out with the stock profile in an attempt to reset myself before beginning testing profiles for the ProSharp Project. Review First impression was somewhat similar to the Glide 60 in that I could immediately feel that there was a lot of steel in contact with the ice. Felt gains in acceleration, speed, and stability over the standard 10’ profile but at the expense of agility and mobility. Probably better suited for someone who’s game is predominantly straight line and doesn’t compliment my style of play. I have now skated on four vastly different profiles covering single, dual, triple, and quadruple radii. While I can safely say that I immediately knew that 2 of the these profiles (Glide 60 and Detroit 1) wouldn’t work for me I still have to spend more time with the Zuperior and Quad 0 to figure out which one is better for me. That’s the next test for me. Acceleration- 3 Mobility- 2 Stability- 4 Speed- 4 * Similar impression to that of the Glide 60. if my game consisted of nothing but up and down the ice skating in a straight-line fashion then this would be good for the speed and stability factors.

Profile 1 – Quad 0 (6-9-11-13) Steel - Bauer LS5 254 Hollow- 90/50 FBV Background Older skater who has been skating for over 40-years. Played high school hockey and some college hockey. Currently playing 3 times a week at a competitive level. Over the years I have tried many different profiles ranging from doubles, a triple, couple of quads, and Pro Skate Balance’s 35/65. I started out with the stock profile in an attempt to reset myself before beginning testing profiles for the ProSharp Project. Review Really didn’t feel any huge improvements over the Zuperior Small profile previously skated on. Most of the attributes remained unchanged with the exception of some modest changes in mobility. To date I have done a single, triple, and quad with just a double left to test out. Next up will be the Detroit 1 (10-20). My plans are to narrow things down to best 2 and then give both those profiles ample time to distinguish the better of those 2. Then once narrowed down I’ll compare that profile to Pro Skate Balance’s 35/65 and see which one works best for me. Acceleration- 3.5 Mobility- 4 Stability- 4 Speed- 3

Profile 1 – Zuperior Small (6-12-20) Steel - Bauer LS5 254 Hollow- 90/50 FBV Background Older skater who has been skating for over 40-years. Played high school hockey and some college hockey. Currently playing 3 times a week at a competitive level. Over the years I have tried many different profiles ranging from doubles, a triple, couple of quads, and Pro Skate Balance’s 35/65. I started out with the stock profile in an attempt to reset myself before beginning testing profiles for the ProSharp Project. Review I felt improvements in all four areas with this profile. Quicker first step with excellent agility and stability. Transitioning from forward to backward skating was seamless. Was hoping for better overall speed gains but an improvement no matter how small is still a win-win situation. At this point of the project I plan on keeping the Zuperior Small and will add combo and quad profiles to those I plan on testing. Acceleration- 3.5 Mobility- 3.5 Stability- 4 Speed- 3

I started out with the stock profile in an attempt to reset myself before beginning testing profiles for the ProSharp Project. Review I really wanted this profile to work since I had previously skated on a 35/65 and was hoping that this would be close to that setting. Stepping on the ice and taking my first few strides I could immediately tell that there was a lot of steel in contact with the ice. My FBV 90/50 also felt much sharper than how it felt on the standard 10’ stock profile. Acceleration was marginally better. While stability was better I found it to require some work in transitioning from forward to backward skating and vice versa. Despite the stability feeling better I felt my balance was a little off. Definitely had some struggles with agility. Tight turns required more work and focus. Where this profile excels is in straight-line speed. I felt much faster when skating straight lines in a north south fashion. Acceleration- 3 Mobility- 2 Stability- 3.5 Speed- 4 * If my game consisted of nothing but up and down the ice skating in a straight-line then this was good for the speed factor. However the negative mobility I felt makes this profile not a good fit for me.

Profile 1 - Stock 10’ Steel - Bauer LS5 254 Hollow - 90/50 FBV Background Older skater who has been skating for over 40-years. Played high school hockey and some college hockey. Currently playing 3 times a week at a competitive level. Over the years I have tried many different profiles ranging from doubles, a triple, couple of quads, and Pro Skate Balance’s 35/65. I started out with the stock profile in an attempt to reset myself before beginning testing profiles for the ProSharp Project. Review Certainly nothing wrong with the stock profile in its overall performance. Acceleration, mobility, stability, and speed are adequate. Since this is my reset and the bar from which I’m going to evaluate the different ProSharp profiles my intention to too just rate it as the middle of the road. Not bad but not great either. My own personal belief is that every set of stock steel benefits from profiling do to inconsistences from mass-produced steel. What I do find a little daunting is the vast number of profiles that ProSharp offers can make it difficult to dial in an individuals’ best profile without shelling out a significant amount of cash unless you guess right or just not try others. Acceleration - 2.5 Mobility - 2.5 Stability - 2.5 Speed - 2.5 *This is my control set thus the 2.5 ratings. Like I said, neither good nor bad. These might be rescored after I have the opportunity to test a double, triple, and quad.

Fair assessment. Properties for impact resistance and comfort while maintaining original shape/form.
-
Have no interest in these holders, but from a shop perspective do the holes line up with LS Edge or SB 4.0? Weight significance and no choice of steel are 2 major turn offs.
-
2S is more thermoformable than the S29. Also big difference in stiffness, liner, and steel. From experience I’ve found the heel lock to be tighter post bake when done properly.
-
Misinformation. When scanning for Custom Bauer skates the process is barefoot with a very slight knee bend.
-
I was a devout heel curve user for decades. Knowing in advance that they were being phased out I transitioned to a P92. As for saucing, if your technique is good you can sauce with any curve.

Sensitive, easily offended, touchy, defensive = thin-skinned. Anyways, I'm done with this thread....dead to me.

The MyBauer custom skate is not full custom by definition. That merely offers length and true width (not knocking that at all) along with a choice of liner, modest selection of tongues, and steel. Silk screening name and number to me cater to the young and foolish. What I do like (if done right by the fitter) is the ability to size down or up off the scan by using retail skates to dial in how the skater wants the skate to fit. What's also great is that the fitter can add detailed notes directly to the foot scan and they'll be addressed by the experts up at the custom factory. Custom skates doesn't always mean just a bake and you're all set. Even customs need some tweaking from time to time. The problem I see at retail is that too many skaters, even those who have been skating forever, are skating in improperly fitted skates. In my experience very FEW players actually need a custom skate. What I see too often with True/VH are skates that wind up having way too much overwrap. Too much overwrap can make it harder to flex forward and will ultimately lead to premature breakdown of the boot. For those of you who know me you can attest that I have some of the ugliest and widest feet around, yet I can skate comfortably without pain in Bauer, CCM, and Graf skates. I wore the Easton Mako as well and really liked the performance of that skate. My choice if I wanted performance similar to the Mako in a one-piece boot would be to go CCM, either in the FT1 or AS1. From a lengthy career that involved needing to be able to read people my impression is there's a lot of thin skinned folks posting in this thread. For those of you who don't mind excessive weight and overwrap then all the best to you. Me, I'll go AS1 for my one-piece boot.

Does anyone have the Glide 65 triple template? I'm assuming there's a flat spot of 65mm, but being a triple I'm guessing the front and back differ? Anyone know exactly what it is?

The new STX Surgeon RX3 gear is out.
mojo122 replied to ParabolicActivity's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Why would STX give product to a retailer when their products are only available via their online store through direct to the consumer sales. If they wanted user feedback and reviews they should reach out to @JR Boucicaut about doing a long-term product review on this site. -
The above product looks like it would help take up some of the high volume that boot has. My concern with trying to have it wrap more over the top of your foot is that there would be too much wrap which can inhibit the boots' ability to flex forward properly and also lead to the boot breaking down prematurely. Just somewhat disconcerting to have to drop another $30 dollars on top of what you paid for customs. Maybe True has a thicker tongue they can send you instead.

I'm looking to try the 0 and see how it compares to the 1 I'm currently skating on.
-
I'm surprised they didn't stop the practice as soon as they partnered with Step for their holder and steel.
-
Congratulations! I know a guy who was a paramedic and turned it into an awesome 35+ year career. The job can be stressful so make sure you take care of yourself and your partners. Hopefully you'll work for a outfit that invests in their staff and has a good CISM program in place. Good luck and go save lives!

Toe, but now that I have a few skates on them I hav adjusted and don't notice it anymore. I'm still favoring the 35/65 off the Pro Skate Balance machine over the quad.

Still trying to dial in starting points. Inexperienced or fairly new skaters might be better off starting out on a longer single radius for the stability factor. Unless someone has been skating for some time and or playing at a high level going straight to a Quad might not be wise. But do you start with a combo or go straight to a triple with those players? I recently profiled a couple of sets of steel using the Quad 1 template. Coming from Pro Skate Balance's 35/65 I felt that the Quad 1 had more blade and noticed it when making sharp turns. After an adjustment period of a couple of skates I've come to like the Quad 1. However, my runners are 254's so I don't think I could go Quad 2 and actually wonder if the Quad 0.5 might be the sweet spot for me. I haven't come across the 0.5 template so far so I'm staying with the 1 for now.

Pretty sure he is talking about after having them baked at the LHS and getting them home. Only thing I can think of is whether or not during the initial bake they overtightened the laces beyond the 75% tight that is recommended causing more overwrap.
-
Shayne, Can you describe what the differences are besides channel size between the S, M, and L Z Channels? What is the benefit of one channel over the other and whether there are specific recommendations as to which channel size to select?

Read through the profiling document, so thanks for that. Looks like it need's to be updated since there are newer templates offered that aren't mentioned there? For someone new to profiling, is it better to go from a stock radius to a double first, and then progress to a triple or quad? Or is it an easy transition to go straight from stock to a quad? Some of the recommendations are based on the player's position and skating ability, but especially when it comes to parents and their kids they often either understate or overstate their child's skating proficiency. So profiling may help or hinder some skaters.

What I would really like to know is how does ProSharp determine what profile someone should be on? With single, double, triple, and quads it's rather daunting. What are some determinations in picking a starting point? Also, if a set of runners is off to begin with, then how precise will the 2 runners be after profiling?
