Older Warrior intermediates in the dynasty line ran narrow as well and I believe they went up to 14”

If you like wider, find some Fischer's, good deal quality glove, very similar to old 4 roll TPS

New 90s Supreme Comp safe to skate on?
Buzz_LightBeer replied to acura9927's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
It’s more likely To crack than fail completely. Go ahead and skate on them -
MyBauer Custom Stick 4 Inch Extension

Not that I’ve had any success with. I’ve tried to salvage a few with no luck -
MyBauer Custom Stick 4 Inch Extension
Buzz_LightBeer replied to Nikolas90's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Heated the ever loving eff out of it and chiseled it out with a flathead screwdriver. Not a very graceful process. Just make sure you don’t knock it down the inside of the shaft. -
People will probably disagree with me but as you said, I’d play around with profiles long before I’d do a holder swap. There isn’t enough difference in size or amount of steel on the ice at any given time to justify it imo. a good profiler could look at your current blades, get a general idea of the balance point and ice contact you like and get you something similar to what you’ve been using. it will likely take longer to adjust to the boots than the blades anyway.

Closest Eagle glove to the Warrior Franchise
Buzz_LightBeer replied to iceman8310's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Stock I’d say Aero, otherwise CP94 or X844 Pro are probably close -
Tydan blades not fitting into holder
Buzz_LightBeer replied to iceman8310's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Dumb question perhaps but did you hold one up to that other steel to see where the discrepancy lies? -

Bauer-ccm holder size confusion
Buzz_LightBeer replied to ProfessorBarDownski's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
If one is a 6.5 Wide it might have 263 holders, or if they're pro skates, they might have come from the custom department with 263, even 272 i suppose -
Some one who knows what they’re doing could pretty well eyeball and put a straight edge on the blades to make sure they aren’t bent. If all they’re doing is replacing factory rivets and not drilling new holes it should be pretty straightforward.

Warrior Alpha LX Pro Stick
Buzz_LightBeer replied to beerleaguecaptain's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
The pictures make it look more similar to a P46 than a W28 -
Warrior Alpha LX Pro Stick
Buzz_LightBeer replied to beerleaguecaptain's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
You bought an LX Pro, and the taper will be a dead giveaway when it arrives. But on the plus side they’re damn fine sticks. Nicer than Novium imo -
Warrior Alpha LX Pro Stick
Buzz_LightBeer replied to beerleaguecaptain's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
A few of the resale sites have Noviums (purportedly), you may try asking one of them for the codes? A glance at the photos might also help you decipher if it’s legit, the concave taper should be pretty evident. -
You could try Currex footbeds also with a rebake. I’ve found the firm ankles under the superfeet weren’t for everyone.
