    Not during the season. David Perron owns a F-02-SPIN so that he can do his in the summer. So does Matt Cooke.

    But what Jimmy is saying makes sense. There are NHL EQMs who aren't using it because they're in bed with another supplier/sharpening method, which means that that team's player won't even have access to it (eg. Erik Cole was going to a local NC shop to get it done b/c his EQM didn't believe in it), not to mention, pro players are creatures of habit who are going to stick with what got them there. In a nutshell, don't base your decision on someone else's acceptance, or lack of. You'll find out that there are other factors that have absolutely nothing with the actual product.

    Call off the hounds...it's not them.
  4. JR Boucicaut
    And that is still all true. But BS tested the shape and knew it didn't work. BM didn't.
  5. JR Boucicaut
    No, I think you misunderstood me. Re-read my post.

    The shape that was tested there was the natural progression from a regular ROH. Blackstone deemed that it wasn't beneficial, so they continued to refine the shape to what it is today - I'm sure Steve will elaborate - so not surprised by Brock's findings.

    Summer
  8. JR Boucicaut
    Oh, I'm sorry, I read that the wrong way. Yeah, it'd be the XL length in a L pant.
  9. JR Boucicaut
    Belt and liner
  10. JR Boucicaut
    I'd guess they are +2. That's the usual "tall" size.
  11. JR Boucicaut
    The serrated fin was implemented this winter.

    Another way to look at it is what Mission faced with their Pure (Pure Fly/S500/AG120) series. A highly technical skate however didn't have the brand mindshare in that category to get over the hump.
  13. JR Boucicaut
    Nope, nor traditionally-lasted skates. They do not have a custom retail skate program at this time, and I haven't heard anything otherwise. As Krev said, the only way is to slide one through the pro program.
  14. JR Boucicaut
    Yes, all Supreme models are girdles. The ONE.8 is replacing the TotalONE girdle. The NXG as previously stated, has the upgraded padding.
  15. JR Boucicaut
    Or just get LS Edge.
  16. JR Boucicaut
    Sure, but they only had one pair for us. I've mapped out my review schedule for 2013, and I'll be doing APX2 and then CCM RBZ, so hopefully down the road I can LTR the Mako.
  17. JR Boucicaut
    No - I chose Chadd to take the pair allocated to us.
  18. JR Boucicaut
    No, and no.
  19. JR Boucicaut
    And the reality of it is that they can lose their account if they sell them early.
  20. JR Boucicaut
    But they aren't supposed to sell them til then. Stores have their stock already.

    Because there are a LOT of dealers who are under the impression that they can't be reheated, therefore, they only offer it after the sale. That mindset will change with time.
  23. JR Boucicaut
    My catalogue review wasn't enough? It's not like there's any hidden details. APX is a Vapor, NXG a Supreme. The differences between the two boots have been documented for years.
  24. JR Boucicaut
    No, they've been using it since the beginning.
  25. JR Boucicaut
    90/75 to 95/1 is a pretty drastic jump IMO. Did you try 95/75 or 100/75?
