Two questions: I am currently in SuperTacks AS1 skates (custom one already with XS holder though). Any idea how to explain how big a step / improvement a jump to the XF Pro would be? Also regarding stiffness, what would be a drawback of XF Pro vs XF ?
-
Any update on that in the meantime?
-
Any weight data / comparison information available yet?
-
How was transforming from AS1 to AS3 ?
-
Any other experiences ?
-
The lightweight design is definitely great of the E700 but ventilation is really bad. And I see a good potential that this new structure / approach in helmet design should also be able to provide lightweight specs. Hopefully we get them soon.
-
The thing is - more comfortable foam in the toe box or reduces the width of the forefoot space. This has poked me in the AS1 (total custom version). So hope the toe box is comfy and wide enough.
-
Had some troubles with too much pressure at navicular bone with the AS1 (and I know quite a few more players) - hope they addressed that with the new model.
-
How do they compare in weight to E700?
-
Are the newer Ribcore skates the highest volume CCM skate?

How does volume compare with new AS3 Pro in EE ? -
It’s not about boot stiffness itself rather than the angle that gets up to high when there is too little volume. So restricting the movement.
-
This topic is really underrated. I made the discovery that when there is not enough volume in the skate (not passing pencil test or seeing a „bulge“ when the skates are tied up) this considerably restricts the mobility of the foot - especially when it comes to the direction needed for the toe flick. Has anyone also experienced that?
-
Step is really great
-
Yes I learned that it was an option by reading the PDF which was posted here. Seems the rep that made my Total Custom order selected that without asking me.
-
yes I also baked them - but will try to remove that „comfort foam“ in the forefoot as it takes away too much width. Also the heel lock is not as good as in the retail version for me. And my pressure point on the navicular bone still is a problem.
-
I still got pressure points of the custom AS1 😞 There is also a foam on the toe box outer area (where the little / fifth toe is) maybe I should try removing that? Anyone else experiencing this?
-
The insole / arch support has a tremendous effect on foot pain. Try to loosen the tension in your foot by using a tennis ball a few hours before you skate (stretching of plantar fascia)

CCM Super Tacks Skate Initial Thoughts
markush replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Well it is indeed different - though not that much. You won't believe how different the fit even within the Vapor line is from top-model line from season to season. So from X60 (former top-model) for example to APX or from that to 1X. I have a wider forefoot and and need quite some volume in the boot. Having used Bauer / Vapor skates the last few years (starting from X60) and now switching back to CCM was a good decision. Now I am in the SuperTacks since June and will never change back :-) Have to say that especially the 1X was the best Bauer skates i have been using (and was able to compare 4 different top of the line models X60/APX/APX2/1X) over the years ... the SuperTacks just provide the perfect fit (which is probably due to the new 360 degree complete moldable technology). -
CCM Super Tacks Skate Initial Thoughts

Having used top of the line Bauer skates for many years, switching from 1X to SuperTacks was a smooth transition. I instantly felt the improvements - better agility, and seamless fit. Regarding stiffnes SuperTacks provide all the great support you demand from a stiff skate though on the other hand are excellently balanced in a way they provide more agility / flexibility to me without sacrificing any lack in support, durability etc. -
Any suggestions that are easier to achieve? ;)

What would be the best way we could find out what hollow he uses?

Body weight also plays an important role - think as McD is not that big/heavy 1/2 or 9/16 is a good guess. But would be great if we could get a verified info / source.
