Got both. I like the edge checker a little more b/c the left and right ends line up. But both work great. +1 on the electrical tape.

Bauer Blog From the Q&A:

I thought the same thing. At least put the MSH page on the screen. Very nice set up though.

and Shattuck colors. Your gloves + Incognito's stick looks like a pretty good match.

So what would this mean for those of us who bought the XO2 already?

If those are nylon you have no idea how filthy they are going to get. i've seen those eastons up close. They look more off-white/yellow than white. The white parts (tufftec) on my Warriors have gotten a little dirty but still look white. I had pro stock Missions in White/Blue/ Red before. They got "dirty" to an extent, maybe 20-25 percent max

well i went on today but the price didn't show on the bottom like before. When it was MIA they charged for the silvershield and now it look like it is free. Maybe different stores charge different amounts now. Last season around this time I ordered gloves -- went with MB33 14'', yellow mustang, silvershield, va80 with plastic inserts, stitched name = 229

thanks JR

quick question. I was changing spinners and didn't look at which way it was orientated (i know, rookie mistake). Which way should the spinner be put in? at the 3:39 mark of the training video it looks like the hollow side (the side where they wrote the spinner type) faces up when they take off the screw. hope that makes sense.

east west hockey has a blackstone. But I don't know if they have the spinner yet. I think I read in an earlier post, if you let blackstone know they'd call them and try to sell them on the FBV if they dont have it already

Not sure if the black stuff makes a difference, my guess is no. But if it bugs you I know that a bar of soap works as well. The equipment manager, back when I played, rubbed a light coat of soap on the blade for the final pass. Not sure what brand it was though.

Blackstone Training Video Saw it earlier today. One twist and the wheel is good to go. Pretty cool

JR you read my mind - I just saw the website yesterday. I was thinking about getting a wissota but when i came along the blackstone website i was impressed. how does that bat gauge work. Magnet? pressure? looking to get an edge checker as well
