  1. I can't give an exact measurement but it's a noticeably lower cut than the super tacks or ft1 when trying them on off the shelf
  2. you mean like CCM's holder that is offered in black?
  3. I'm in Canada and if a customer wants different holders or steel we order boot only and do the installation of tuuks and steel in house, True/VH doesn't even supply it.
  4. nothing too exuberant, got gifted a code for a free mybauer stick at the conclusion of my contract with them, put it in before the 1x lite was available on the customizer. P92 curve, Blue accents full tactile grip.
  5. Very interesting concept, however wouldn't all that movement lead to loss in energy? by no means am I a physicist just curious if that wouldn't be the case. In terms of the reviews and comments, I'd take those with a grain of salt. Whenever somebody has access to a free/heavily reduced price item that item seems to suddenly be the best product on the market since sliced bread in their eyes.
  6. The options for bauers 3D are nexus vapor supreme D or EE width. That's all the scanner is going to do for you unless you're looking into going full customs. Vh is is offering a full digital scan of your feet and those are sent directly to VH to build a custom last. Ccm customs remain main pretty unchanged, less tinkering is available in terms of volume because of the one piece boot compared to previous years but still relatively standard.
  7. my first thought when I heard about the 3D scanner from Bauer, is why wouldn't players just use it and go the full custom route since they're already dropping a grand on skates (at least in canada) might as well get everything you want added to them at that cost, including liner and tongues etc
  8. the fit centres aren't live yet in Canada, at least not at my location in Ottawa. Depending on what chain of hockey shops you have on the east coast I would call them to inquire if any of their locations are getting a fit station. I know in the Ottawa area the shop I'm at is the only Source for Sports location getting one, not sure about the Pro Hockey Life
  9. They're going through retailers. My store is getting a fitting station set up in the coming weeks.
  10. Looks like we're getting a fitting station at the Valiquettes source for sports in Ottawa in the coming weeks, in case anybody is in my neck of the woods :)
  11. I found it easiest to just call them and order the replacement blades over the phone
  12. hats off JR, congrats on the wedding thats amazing. Hoping for nothing but the best for you two!
  13. Appreciate the pictures, is it safe to say that the scooter pattern is a p28 clone with a different more traditional blade shape? a la p92?
  14. I was a little confused by the curves themselves, I was really intrigued by the scooter pattern in right handed but its so hard to compare it to a digital p28 pattern. Does anyone happen to have one they could post side by side to either a p92 or a p28?
  15. So last summer I had to get a cyst/calcium buildup removed, a bursa sack had formed around it and everything and it was right against my spine on my lower back. The surgeon informed me that it was a relatively common spot for athletes due to contact and falls and the abuse on my tailbone after having played AAA level up to junior for pretty much the entirety of my minor hockey. Skip forward, and the cut from the procedure still hasn't closed properly, and every time I talk to a doctor they tell me its just draining and to wait it out. A month ago I talked to a specialist and after examining it, he believes that they didn't remove everything, so he told me to keep an eye on it. Low and behold about 5 days ago, something pops or rips and now I have a fresh open wound inches from where the last incision was made. Unbelievably frustrating to say the least. And living in a new city for grad school and not having a doctor here, emergency rooms and walk in clinics are my only option so for the most part I haven't been able to see anybody to get it looked at properly.
  16. apart from buff, he's also the only person i've seen flop in VH's
  17. Still looks more appealing than than the 1s, any VH skate I've seen to date, any Graf skate to come out with giant logos or neon yellow. The red accents on the heel and tendon do look rather vapor-esque I agree. But the low key plain black/gun metal without patterns printed all over it a la 1s/ super tacks makes them look clean.
  18. Literally 40 minutes away from where it was filmed.
  19. Counting down the days here until I can move from my current hometown (50k people northern Ontario) to Ottawa for post graduate studies. Astounding how accurate the stereotypes are for a "dead end town" cause that's exactly what this place is turning into.
  20. Haglunds is about lack of heel lock more so than what the speed plate is designed to do.
  21. Any idea on when the rest of the catalogue will get posted? Got to see the whole skate line up close and personal this past week and would love to see the spec list on some of the midline skates, as if I recall the 6052 will still have a full composite boot at a very competitive price point
  22. So are the only major differences between the super tacks skate and the ultra tacks the one piece boot and therefore the ultra tacks falling lower in price point? Are there other major differences?
