I tried them for about 5 games and just never felt right. They always made me feel like I was on my heels and the arch never felt right, basically I was always aware of them while skating which wasn't good. I switched to the SuperFeet Carbon Pro and it was a night and day difference for me, I no longer pay attention to my feet while skating which is great. I'm sure these are great for certain people but they just didn't work out for me.

NEW SUPERFEET 'CARBON PRO HOCKEY'
xstartxtodayx replied to SeanCornell91's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I just ordered a pair of these for myself and am looking forward to trying them out in my Vapor X700's. I got the skates a few months ago and skated in them maybe 6 or 7 times using the Bauer Speedplates. I used to use a pair of Sole insoles in my old skates but found they took up too much volume in these skates so I switched to the Bauer Speedplates. The speedplates gave me more volume and nice support but make me feel like I'm on my heels and leaning back too much (and sometimes I feel like there's too much volume with them). I'm hoping the carbon pro hockey are that perfect in between for me. I went with a D size (or medium according to Amazon) since I'm anywhere between an 8 in shoes/boots and a 9-10 in sneakers depending on the brand, and since my skates are a 7 I felt like going with an E might be too big. I have 1 game tonight with the speedplates and then another this weekend where I'll test out these carbon pro's, I'm looking forward to trying them out. -
it was a July special I couldn't pass up haha
-
Finally bit the bullet today and replaced my old One75's (that were discolored and never properly fit) with a properly fitted pair of skates, I splurged on the Vapor X700's at my LHS and can't wait to try them out :-) 13652943_1158317550895643_5964823446412514121_o by Jon Schusteritsch, on Flickr

Just heard there will be a blowout sale at Dix Hills Pro Shop with Islanders gear on Saturday from 10am - 4pm. I'm hoping to check it out and see if I can pick up anything good.
-
picked up a Resistance 100 helmet from ntwusc last week and just got around to removing the earguards and installing an old itech visor I had, will be using it tonight for the first time but my son, Max, insisted on trying it on first (he loves helmets). IMG_9686 IMG_9687

Thanks guys. I'm guessing their store is the old pro shop at Iceworks in Syosset? I haven't been to that rink in a long long time (side note: I remember when I started playing their gear was supplied by Syosset Sports where I'd pick up pro stock Vic 4050 sticks, I used to love those things, yes I'm old haha).
-
Anyone know of a Rangers or Islander's team sale?
-
I really wasn't looking to buy anything but after reading this thread I think I'm sold.
-
haha yea, fcalog has a point. It was a cool concept, and one that I think has value for the future, but their camera was a bit lackluster to say the least. Hopefully someone can take that technology and make it really useful in the future though, it would be super useful for a lot of applications. It's in Peconic on the North Fork, about 30mins east of Riverhead. Unfortunately we don't have any ice rinks (or indoor roller hockey rinks) out this way (I drive an hour+ to play at Superior, Dix Hils, or The Rinx once or twice a week), but for playing around with the kids this one is perfect.
-
she doesn't like to take pictures but I secretly keep trying to make her enjoy it, these took a bit of convincing and me nasically setting everything up and handing it to her telling her to take pictures (since I'm a photographer I have hardly any photos of me with our kids)... my goal is for us to be a husband and wife wedding photography team one day haha.
-
Me and the family went to a local roller hockey rink to play around last weekend, I gave my wife the camera so she could get some photos of us. I'm not much of a roller hockey guy, the skates I have had for ages (and I hate them, they don't fit right), but it was fun to skate around with the kids since they both really love playing.

That Sedin curve looks real nice, reminds me of a Stall P91A but more closed and maybe a touch larger curve, I'd love a curve like that. Ebay 101... If you waited til the final minutes to place your bid you may have been able to get them for a lot less ;) I never place a bid with more than 5 minutes to go (usually try to wait til under 1 minute to be honest), especially when you think someone else is watching/bidding Unfortunately I tore my ACL a few weeks ago and am in the process of planning my next course of action, so that means no new gear for me for a while, I'm spending my money on camera gear and/or car parts for the time being (although I'm going to try to get to the Islanders sale to see what I can pick up, I'll make sure to report back if I do).
-
I'm very jealous Fletch, of all the gear and the fact that your hobby is turning into an opportunity to make some dough... congrats and good luck. I'm still pretty much a noob at the whole photography thing but have already spent a few grand on stuff, my fiancee hates it that I always choose the expensive hobbies. Do you have a flickr page? I have the same user name on flickr as on here if you want to check me out.

Very nice aperature on that zoom lens........what what is you minn F-stop at 200mm?? That will be your deciding factor for how good of a sports lens it will be. I think the 70-200 will have a f/2.8 all through it's zoom... my friend got a Sigma recently like that, 55-200 though I think, and it's amazing. Wish I could afford a sick lens like that. The 50mm shots don't look bad at all, must have been a chore though to get the right composition without being able to zoom at all.
-
ok found an oldie and scanned it in, it had to be fixed a little in Picassa b/c it was scratched up a bit. I'm guessing this is in 95, maybe 96... those were the skates I was talking about a page or two back that were posted, loved them. Also this was my huge equipment stage, those were louisville TPS shoulder pads, same as the Jones football style, and the pants were huge as well... oh well, you live you learn. I still miss those Vic 4050 sticks.
-
TBLFan... so are these better than the original Easton's? I remember the Easton's had some sort of large air pad on the backhand and were pretty tight, I never owned a pair (always wanted a pair) but a couple buddies of mine had them back in HS when they came out (I remember they took a couple seasons just to break in).
-
Very nice... how'd you manage that price?
-
^^^ holy cow, someone else with a last name just as long as mine :lol: I feel for you with the shoulder to shoulder name, back in HS I was like that, luckily all the teams I've played on after that have been just #'s on the back. Thanks, I'll pass the comment along to her. Truth be told, she's not the greatest at taking pictures (out of about 20 shots those were the best), she was very hesitant about it but after I assured her that the lens would help her she gave it a shot (after seeing the pics she now says she liked it and wants to do it more often... no complaints here). She used my camera, a Nikon D40, with a 55-200mm zoom lens with auto focus and Vibration Reduction... the lens really makes the difference being able to zoom in from the stands and helping with her not so steady hands.
-
I think there's already a waiting list for them :lol: you're the 2nd or 3rd guy who wants them... but I really like them so I'll hang on to them for a little while longer til they stop producing the goals for me.
-
Thanks :) I'm liking them a lot, real light and comfy but more protective than my other Graf G700's as far as the padding goes.
-
Finally got my fiancee to try to snap some shots last night, some came out ok... too bad I don't match at all, oh well. For the record, with the short bench we won 14-2 last night and I had 7 goals... must be the One95 stick, that thing truly is on fire.
-
Used them last night at a game at Superior, scored a goal and had a couple assists... looks like I'm keeping them :D
-
Well if I don't like them I'll keep you in mind :D Going to try them out tonight.
-
Got these in the mail today, supposedly they're Rangers pro-stock but there's no name anywhere on them so who knows. They've been used but are in pretty good shape, one hand has been re-palmed but feels like it wasn't used much after that (the other palm feels good still as well), and some of the lettering is cracking. For the price I paid I'm pretty psyched and those minor details aren't really an issue for me.
