They look terrific in person. And they nailed comfort and fit. With the new RibCore as well

Ironlace Unbreakable Hockey Laces
Buzz_LightBeer replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
The point is, they're touting tensile strength, which is not why laces break. they break because they get cut and frayed, which these will inevitably do no matter how cut resistant they claim to be. Imagine the lace bite and discomfort from laces that do not stretch or give in any way. -
Ironlace Unbreakable Hockey Laces
Buzz_LightBeer replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
$16 for "unbreakable" laces with no give. Looks like a solution to a problem that hardly exists. -
Domestic vs foreign production

Byonic patented universal skate blades
Buzz_LightBeer replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Maybe I’m missing the point but this seems like 98% benefit to a retailer, and 2% to consumer. realistically how many people want this steel, and also routinely switch skates between brands? -
Bauer Face Shield vs CCM Mask
Buzz_LightBeer replied to beerleaguecaptain's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Maybe it means “non-returnable?” im sure they don’t want people ordering these, trying them on and sending them back -
Except his point has a lot of validity.

Pros get what they want. A good number don't know what they want. And surprisingly few are picky.

Those who remember. 😯 quarantine cleanup is unearthing some relics. 🤣

Amp Human PR lotion, Performance & Recovery Bicarb Sports Lotion, Bottle (300g) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082P4SXRZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_cdOFFbE5HBGXS using this as a supplement could help as well

http://www.ar-sports.com/12-pack-regulation-ice-hockey-pucks/puckpack_12-2/ This came to mind, but durability might be an issue
-
would that be where the edge of the wrap was and made a crease in the boot?
-
Sorry, I should’ve qualified it a little further. The shop was given the ability to buy one pair of each size offered, heavily discounted. I seem to recall it around the Synergy and Vector timeline, at the time they were used to demo on ice, as opposed to size. it’s possible you’re correct and it got too costly for the vendor or retailer and that’s why it went away
-
That used to be commonplace practice with CCM and Easton, and wasn’t cost prohibitive at all. On toP end skates I should say
-
The ones I’m thinking of are made in the Philippines, where TPS made their HGT and R8, if I’m not mistaken almost a clone, and a very, very nice glove. Someone who knows more than I can either confirm or refute that mfg claim though

I wonder how much of hose equipment managers are simply using Bauer bias, and doing it also for simplicities sake

Direct Stick Orders From China Manufacturers?
Buzz_LightBeer replied to Denny91's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Going back to my retail days, "Cheap shit on the internet, is Cheap Shit on the Internet for a reason." be careful what you wish for -
P88 vs. P89 Curve/Experience with it?
Buzz_LightBeer replied to theHamburglar's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=1445 I believe he was the origin. Warrior referred to P89 as the "Drury" for years, and the Rbk equivalent was TD-13 -
Looking for flex advice 82 or 87
Buzz_LightBeer replied to justinpryor's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Not sure many will agree with me, but I’ve done the same experimentation. I had a few 77’s that I found too flexible so I cut them down and put a 2-4” plug in the make the height correct again. Stiffens it up a bit without making the full jump up in flex -
Blade Alignment to help Pronation when skating
Buzz_LightBeer replied to BlackIce's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Same, but plastic report binder covers 🤣 -
Looking for undershirt to help with moving elbows
Buzz_LightBeer replied to justinpryor's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
just leaving this here to ensure you’re using it properly. You roll the shirt over the forearm portion of the pad, not back over the shirt. A few posts made it sound like guys were rolling the shirt over on itself -
The millisecond you consider selling that, is like a PM please!

Small crack on Shinguard.. big deal or not?
Buzz_LightBeer replied to xstartxtodayx's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
You just defined “pro stock” initially those pads were part of a sale to a professional team. Regardless, there’s almost assuredly a restriction for third party sales, including eBay, SLS, and a site like PSH -
