Yeah, she is hideously beautiful! To answer your question, I'm average height - 5'10 - but I love the way a higher/tighter lie plays for my style of skating and overall style of play. (like Hockeyman mentioned) I like playing with the puck closer to my body, and I can also get more efficient shots off. Ironically, it also allows me to control the puck more. Not that it would be an ideal setup for everyone, but it's one thing I've found that really works for me and my style of play. really cups that puck huh ^.- ... does the puck roll off the heel real easily though? i love the lie 7 part though lol
