    Boots are used MakoII 8.25D, about a season and a half of use. Factory blackout tendon guards. Shows the usual wear and tear, but structurally sound, and very stiff. Tongues are discolored slightly from a cleaner i used on them. Holes drilled in heels for LS screws. Holders are new LS (non edge) 280, two sets of steel. One set profiled HudsonV. Attached using copper rivets and MLX screws/anchors Also including 2 sets of footbeds, One Bio-Dri, one stock. $200 plus shipping, open to offers. I'll have pics up here shortly but have text-able pics ready to roll, PM me

    If you experiment with 2 pair of skates that aren’t quite right, you’re almost at the cost of customs anyway. Do it once, do it right, spend the money wisely.

    Bauer has had steel stock issues for years. That would bother me the most about this. They’d better be prepared to have ample supply for the foreseeable future if this is how they’re going about things. min my experience, I’d say pro guys are pretty in tune with their edges. But about 5% can tell you what they like and what they want. The rest will just tell you what they don’t like, or that something is off.

    It was Branches that had it. As I recall it never really retained its new curve, and went soft REAL quick.
  7. Buzz_LightBeer
    Not from what I recall. It was a normal taper with exaggerated 45* angled corners

    Being I suggested it in the other topic about this, I'm doubling down on it here. One100 is a reasonably stiff boot, and after 5 years of likely wearing unstructured footwear, and weight fluctuation, I'm sure your foot has changed noticeably since the last time you skated. Plus it's a terrifically easy fix if it works.

    Exactly. I think that’s what he’s describing, if I’m reading it correctly? id say there’s moisture causing some corrosion if that’s the case. But I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it on Step
  10. Buzz_LightBeer
    Usually pitting the way you’re describing it is a sign of corrosion. Graf used to be notorious for it.

    If you have a local place, I’d ask to have them rebaked first and foremost. Then try insoles after.

    Do they get dried adequately between skates?

    In need of some opinions from the knowledgeable goalie guys. A friend is considering a set of JRZ Customs, but can't decide on a trapper. He is a fan of this VE8 Pro Carbon from Vaughn, but what model JRZ most closely fits the bill? https://vaughnhockey.com/products/velocity-ve8-pro-carbon/t-velocity-ve8-carbon-pro/ https://jrzglobalsports.com/hockey-goalie-catch-gloves-fusion-fz-1 https://jrzglobalsports.com/catch-glove-prime-pz-1

    seems to show a general outline of the taper shape here.

    Only the pop matrix part

    Happened to me on an old pair of 4orte Eagles that is washed in hot water and screwed up the screen print.
  17. Buzz_LightBeer
    No, and the ones I've seen were very basic, and did not put any effort to making them present professional at all

    “E” was the shaft build on the Trigger 4 I had seen.
  19. Buzz_LightBeer
    Are the blades bent in the holder, as in top to bottom, not front to back? also, standing on them while not on the ice might do that but not necessarily translate that to the ice

    I skate on 280's, I found my preference was a 35/55 CagOne profile. When I moved on to ProSharp, I didn't care for the Quad I tried, you may want to try the Hudson V (Glide 50). One thing to consider, if you're skating every day, and sharpening often, is getting the profile redone 1-2 times per year, to ensure its staying consistent.

    Hate “Canes,” love every other aspect. I hope this Canes, Bolts thong doesn’t become a thing
  22. Buzz_LightBeer
    Inno made, it couldn’t be anything but good. 🤣
  23. Buzz_LightBeer
    JoFa made a comp shaft briefly, 9800 maybe, with that concept, but it flipped halfway down the shaft so the convex was always in your palm.

    Other way around. Concave on the forehand.
