  1. They already put less steel on the Supreme (LS2P and LS2.1 has less blade height than LS2)
  2. The Rocket runner wasn't a failure, it is a great product. Sharpeners who didn't know how to sharpen it properly, they were the failure. They were the ones who turned customers off to it. Many thought it was the blade and just didn't know it was just an incorrect sharpening. QFT
  3. Looks like it was removed for some reason
  4. Seriously, basing a stick shape from something made in a video game?
  5. Well, Steve, that's exactly what I'm doing. Just finished chillin in the pool - and 4 beers so far. I hate this place. I was sweating my ass off sharpening. Ugh. Ran the machine and it seemed to have tightened up a bit. No, it was so hot the belt expanded.
  6. Here is my X02, taken apart - Tried to conduct my figure skate experiment, however the wheel started to slow down. Obviously it is the belt, and I have my theory on why this happened - high of 100 degrees outside which means my garage is like 130. Almost done fixing it, but it's too hot to work.
  7. Already did. :) sweeet man nice pickup i kno its a little late but ur one lucky mofo How so? He paid for it. :)
  8. They have the patent on the method to apply the shape onto the wheel to be used in skate sharpening.
  9. Hell, it pains me to even think about doing a pass with that monstrosity.
  10. I've had full shots of the stick for a couple of months now. Let me find out if it's cool to unleash it.
  11. Why would they? They can use it on their BM.
  12. Yes, it will work on a BM machine as the wheel heights are the same.
  13. And Blackstone has taken it a step further... FBV for the masses... http://www.blackstonesport.com/product_det...?product_id=186 Standalone Spinner dresser that will work on any standard machine. Magnetic base for steel tables, if using an aluminum or granite top table, you might have to hold it in place.
  14. See if you can get the standard (non-parabolic) steel from Easton. It actually skates pretty well with that setup.
  15. The screws are too long, pushing it inward towards the temples. The solution is to remove the ear loops or use smaller posts.
  16. Warrior Dolomite HD Flex: 85 Curve: Fedorov Lie 4 non-grip Height: 6' Weight: 240 Postition: RW/C Time-frame of use: Since April Aesthetics: Big name call-out on both sides of the stick. Everyone will know you're using a Warrior stick. Contrasting graphics on both sides, nice touch. 10/10 Weight and Balance: Slightly lighter-feeling than the ONE95 I was reviewing simultaneously, however, does have somewhat of a plasticky feel to the stick. 9/10 Blade: A touch of pinginess blade-wise, much thinner than the ONE95. However, the blade still has plenty of life in it, and absolutely zero wear on it. Thin blade and heel. 9/10 Shaft/Flex: Slightly concave shaft, and feels very good in my hands. Flexes a tad softer than what is advertised, but no problems for me at all there. See more on this in Shooting. 9.75/10 Stickhandling and Passing: Much better than what I've used from Inno. Thinner heel helped with drag, however the blade is still a little bit hard on receiving passes, but a definite improvement. 9/10 Shooting: This was my biggest concern - last time I used an Inno/Warrior product, I absolutely hated how the stick torqued on shots - blade and shaft would twist, causing me to shank it. And all of those problems have been addressed for me. Stick loads up well, very accurate on net. 10/10 Durability: No loss of stiffness in the shaft, no major structural problems. Couple of scuffs here and there but no major chips or peeled decals. 9.5/10 Conclusion: Definite improvement from sticks of old, absolutely cannot gripe about anything about it. Thanks goes out to Keith Perera at Warrior Hockey for sending me a stick. Always appreciated. 9.5/10
  17. He bought it from me (Lightning) Here's a full shot -
  18. Glad to see you got it.
  19. On a new pair, I actually end up doing the same amount of passes as I would with sharpening a skate that has an existing hollow on it. It's not that I hate crossgrinding and am afraid of screwing up, it's just something that I've managed to only use unless absolutely necessary (profiling/rust)
  20. Yeah, hear ya on that. Started doing it in MI when we had the sharpening assembly line going - always disrupted when someone needed to CG.
