    Some very good points made. Bottom line is that the goal of any company is to maximize profits. Bauer at one point in time used licensed materials which come at a cost. Seems like these days they continue to look for alternatives which are often hit or miss.

    How well did you deburr the skates?
  3. mojo122
    Probably more to do with the current Pulse and Carbonlite steel not being compatible with the Fly holder. Lot of folks now have many sets of profiled steel and they would rather not have to ditch their investment. Also anyone ordering a custom Mach can opt for the new holder as well.

    Guess my question would be how much better is the fit/comfort with the custom X over the retail? Both the My Bauer ReAkt and CCM Tacks X are pricey ($550/$580 USD). The majority of consumers don't even want to pay $220 for the ReAkt 150.
  5. mojo122
    $350 is still cheaper than the Tacks X and Hyperlite 2.

    Looking at the FT6 Pro and ASV-Pro skate I'm not seeing any major structural changes between the 2 boots. Not knocking CCM but this new JetSpeed looks like just a little less stiff Tacks.

    Assuming this: Tidal Power Cut Profile

    Retailers are partly to blame for there being less curve options available today. Retailers want fewer sku's for inventory management.

    It's all about trends. How long before the P88 gets phased out because of the rising popularity of the P28 and P90TM? I was a Drury user for decades and was in disbelief when well over 5-years ago I was told to transition to a new curve because heel curves were going away.

    My understanding is that the new steel will work in the current Edge holders but the current steel won't in the new PowerFly holder. I'm currently skating in both Bauer and CCM skates and find both the Step Black and Bauer TI pretty close in performance.

    Disagree with this statement.

    ASV Pro is probably too stiff for most average skaters. I had an issue but it seems that I was able to resolve with a punch. Mentioned it before, but CCM has NOT perfected their version of the 3-Fit system. I'm definitely a Fit 3 in both Vapor and Supreme (EEE Forefoot). The Regular Fit ASV Pro was plenty wide and maybe a touch too deep for me.

    Are you talking at the retail level or NHL? CCM has made a small percentage increase at the NHL level over the past couple of years while True seems ti hover consistently around the 10% number.

    Been having PPF installed on my cars for a long time now. This looks much thicker, more like the thicker protection films they now use on the rear bumper lips to protect it from taking stuff in and out of the trunk.
  15. mojo122
    Toe cap on the 3X Pro is wider than that of the Mach. Hard to give any advice based on a bunion issue. Did you scan for a 7.5 Fit 3? Some folks have a particular issue that makes them a good candidate for custom skates.

    Used Jason to do a Cag profile on some CCM steel for me and was totally satisfied with the end result.
  17. mojo122
    Size and weight of the player is something to consider in terms of skate model selection. The X3.7 will break down much quicker than the 3X. The 3X has a better quarter package (composite(, better tongue, and better steel. The footbeds in both offer no support so with either one I recommend an aftermarket footbed.
  18. mojo122
    Bauer skate lineup mirrors each other therefore X3 would be the same as the M3 making the X3 the replacement model for the X3.7. X4 is the equivalent model of the M4.
  19. mojo122
    I’d just add that senior small is now an intermediate large.
  20. mojo122
    This was true when Bauer still had all 3 protective lines. When they dropped Nexus they made the top model the "close to the body/anatomical fit", the 1S, 2s Pro, and Ultrasonic pants with the other models being more of a traditional fitting pant. Confused a lot of customers along with their new junior/intermediate/senior sizing changes.
  21. mojo122
    Supreme 3S Pro and 3S are volume fit pants like the old Nexus.
  22. mojo122
    Bauer did I think under the name NeuroShield? Here in the states I believe it was considered a medical device which would have needed FDA approval I think.
  23. mojo122
    From my experience true coated steel does not offer any glide enhancement over polished steel (think Step Velocity or Bauer LS Pulse). What it does offer is better edge retention and fewer nicks and gouges.
  24. mojo122
    Just to clarify, 13" and 14" Bauer shins are both intermediate sizes.
  25. mojo122
    Quad profiles came standard on the Ultrasonic. Mach comes without steel. Aftermarket Bauer runners come with a 10' profile.
