TPS Response Sticks: Back For Another Iconic Shift
Buzz_LightBeer replied to A2rhino's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I bought the yellow original not knowing they were two different quality sticks. I can weigh mine but it's very light, and a good value stick for the money -
https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/sticks/10734559-bauer-senior-nexus-e50-pro-right-handed-hockey-stick-p28-new?referral_code=Zydo441 P28 87 flex, brand new. Was a warranty replacement I’ve no use for. $145 to your door in the U.S.

I'm sure you've done your share of troubleshooting on this, but that sounds like a cage issue more than a helmet issue. stretch out the cage so when you close it, the sides aren't compressed in?

In my experience they've always had supply issues with the baselayer stuff. They also seem to have a very small window of sales before items hit the clearance racks

Sold a while back on SlS, sorry

New Bauer 3D Scanning/Custom Offerings
Buzz_LightBeer replied to pgeorgan's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I don’t know the thresholds for their customs, but NHL player customs are migrating to be made in Thailand, your retail customs may be the same. If that’s an important aspect for you. -
you may consider a more supple insole in your current goalie skates for comfort otherwise a middle to lower-middle end player skate might be softer and easier on the feet for standing. you could have a flatter profile done to the blades to give the stability you're accustomed to in goalie skates.

Help with Brand new true 9x4 8.5wide
Buzz_LightBeer replied to DmAc0250's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Someone familiar with heating and a boot stretcher should be able to help you. Even if there is a small fee it’s well worth it. -
I’ve had a few brands of coated steel and in my experience at least, they tend to go dull unexpectedly and all of the sudden. In Randow spots all over. not gradually like a stainless would. Maybe the intensity of the league matters too, I do t think they take kindly to contact with boards, other blades, etc
-
It’s about exactly this much different. TC6 has white tape
-
I have both and CCm is slightly lower
-
First time the build code was clearly legible, I guess was my point

It may be available in the pro bank, but it isnt listed as an offering in the 2025 catalog

Sparx Skate Sharpener - At home sharpener
Buzz_LightBeer replied to tamtamg's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
It's less a matter of flattening the blade as it is removing the factory polish or coating. New blades come very inconsistent on the bottom, but the coating really gums up a sharpening wheel. Removing that first layer with a mostly flat hollow makes the first sharpen and every subsequent one easier. If you try to do a new cut with a normal hollow, at least with a traditional sharpening wheel, you heat the steel and do a number on the wheel unnecessarily. Plus it takes twice the time. I imagine the same principle applies with these sharpening rings. Also, I would put out there that a "flat" ring and say a 1 1/2" hollow are reasonably similar at those widths, you could accomplish the same with either -
I would disagree with your one commenter, the big silver wheel should move the diamond in and out (closer to or further from) the grinding wheel horizontally.
-
I did iterations of the “retail custom” MIC skates in the FT2, FT4 and FT6, had great experiences with all three. The fit and customization was great. As long as you’re committing to that, definitely find the most reputable shop close to you, and you should do fine.

https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/skates/8621094-true-pro-custom-size-9-5?referral_code=Zydo441 would love to make a deal here, price is negotiable.

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

MyBauer Custom Stick 4 Inch Extension
Buzz_LightBeer replied to Nikolas90's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
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
