Depends on the player. In my time with TBL it varied. Had players who would turn in over 10 pr. Some were shredded to hell, some would barely be broken in.

On a standard or mini? I remember with the mini, any way worked for some strange reason.

There are two new pages in there. And bags - but I usually take those out of the catalogue.

http://modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php/files/file/185-2014-stx-stickglove-catalogue/ Gloves - STX is launching their glove line to complement their sticks. Continuing with their 2-family concept, they have two models in the Surgeon and Stallion 500. Starting with their Stallion line, which is what you would consider a "traditional" glove. Instead of doing a strictly traditional glove in the Stallion and a strictly anatomical glove in the Surgeon, they are actually right in the middle of those two fits with a tapered feel - essentially choosing the middle ground. Both gloves are the same spec-wise; dual density foam with PE inserts, a Clarino palm, their Dri-Lex moisture wicking liner and stretch mesh gussets. The new technologies that STX is offering is their Cable-Flex thumb, which consists of the thumb piece attached by a cable that runs along the side (if it's hard to picture, picture the binding of the thumb - the cable goes around the piece like that), allowing it to fully move forward, yet lock if hyperextended. Yes - I can touch the palm with the thumb - without using my fingers to pull it down. The range of motion story doesn't end there. The other feature is their M² Knuckle. Instead of stitching the fingers down in the knuckle break, it's actually open there, allowing for more forward range of motion. You can actually fold your entire fingers over and touch the end of your palm. The Surgeon is a bit more anatomical in the back of the hand. This is the Surgeon back cuff... ...as opposed to the Stallion. 5 colors to start, from 12" to 15". Sticks - Two more sticks in each family to round out the line. On both the Surgeon and the Stallion, there will now be a 300 and 100 model. The 300 is down-spec'd to a carbon fiber shaft (as opposed to 12k on the 500) and the 100 to a carbon/fiberglass mix. However, what is intriguing is that throughout all models, the blade is the exact spec - so you're getting the same blade that is on the 500 on the 100. The 300 in both models will retail for $149.99 and the 100 will retail at $99.99 - so you're not seeing a strictly entry-level offering at this time. The gloves and sticks will launch in November.

It's the bottom on mini-spinners. So the open bearing part meets the drag cap. It's the opposite on the standard machines.

Even though they are the same height, there is a wider flat on the 95 as opposed to the 90, making that inner angle of the edge more pronounced. It will dig into the ice harder/deeper, providing more drag.

TH doesn't have 17 year old employees sharpening skates. It's not allowed. All of our sharpeners have to go through a program in which I helped write. Obviously the goal is for them to follow it but just like anything else, if the dedication level isn't there no training program is going to help. I can only assume he was blending steel if he's going that short, and there's nothing wrong with going against the wheel in that instance. But doing it in a constant motion, going too fast and too hard isn't a good thing.

More components = bigger shell. I'll have a teardown of it shortly.

Debuting in Spring 2015.

I didn't see them, but I understand what you are saying...

There will be a new Ribcor stick in the fall. Once we are able to release that information, we will.

*free sharpenings on Tuesday and Wednesday with the purchase of a Platinum rewards membership. $40 one-time fee. :)

No. I meant Blackstone. They used to offer this in the catalogue years ago with an angle similar to BM's Customskateworks has been using it for the past month and can't out a dent on it. This angle is very solid - I can't see how it could be scored.

Read the text before the pictures. I know pictures are bright and shiny and all, but still...

Here is the new Butterfly Gauge - the squaring device is the same one that has been offered by Blackstone, however, the angle is what is different. It's a hardened aluminum that is score-proof and still works on similar squaring devices. The TefTop Puck is also new - 1/3 of the bottle should last a week for high volume use. You squirt it onto the pad and rub it onto the table.

Pitch is determined in 1/32" increments. Profilers do not use degrees to describe pitch. So, a +1 is 1/32" lower in the front.

It's a standard squaring device, but the magnetic angle is what is different. It'll work with existing ones.
