I was assuming this was the small checkered pattern but now that I think about it, it's pretty high up to be a change in weave for the blade and that just looks like the matte paint on the dimple grip texture. So you're probably right

Well according to the pic I linked it's not lol

Ovi used to use the g3 build when he was Bauer. Then when he went to ccm he only used I think the trigger asy? So I'm assuming his build is the one of the two that aren't offered by either Bauer or ccm anymore. Which is weird bc I thought there were still nhlers using a g3 build. Maybe he grew out of that build. The pic below does show a larger carbon weave pattern than the g3 weave on the shaft but the hosel and blade does appear to be the smaller checker weave of the g3/ one95 blades. https://www.instagram.com/p/DI0CuQ6Ot1O/?igsh=MTAyYndnMGIwMDNrNg==

Btw op, what are you getting done to your skates?

Glad it worked out. Wonder if it actually was, or if that's just what bsharp said after you made this post and the Google review, they dug a little deeper to actually locate your parcel in their shop.

Well there's no reason that b sharp would lie, especially if they don't have staff with the name Collin.

Looks good!

Different models and generations all fit slightly different. I couldn't put my feet into a fit 1 ultrasonic and a fit 2 squished my forefoot still, but I wear a fit 1 Mach. You really just have to try them on.

Ah ic. I would still choose xs over edge or powerfly.

U can try to rebake. But at one time, true customs also had arches that formed to your foot from the scanning process. I'm not sure if they still do or not since introducing the genetix insoles. My first two pairs of trues had a custom shaped arch built into the boot. I know this because my right foot pronates and as I was scanned for my first pair, the one skate came out with no arch at all and caused my right skate to feel more sloppy than the left. I solved that with Bauer speed plates. Second pair I was cognizant to not allow my arch to collapse during the scan and it came out fine. So to answer your question, I would rebake but it may provide only limited improvement in fit if the arches are flat and don't provide you any support.

I don't have experience with the xs but with the SB 4.0 which is essentially the same holder but different locking mechanism for the steel. I liked how it was stiffer than the edge holder. I didn't find any adjustment between the edge and CCM holders but I also didn't find much a difference between the hre true shift max and edge and I know a lot of people do. For me, I would get CCM for overall stiffness, durability and ease of changing the locking mechanism without having to remove the holder to do so. Lastly, I know you have a multi fit steel but the fact ccm holders you can get ANY steel you want for it without compromising some fit issues of a multi fit, is the final selling point for me. Step/jrz specific to the holder. I currently use the jrz multi on my edge holders and they are good but they aren't as snug as Bauer and bladetech steel. But I prefer jrz/step over anything else. I'm not sure how the jrz multi fits fit in the CCM holders but the notch made for the pin doesn't look that deep and secure imo. If the holders on my machs ever crack or go bad, I'm swapping them to the xs holders.

Even at retail? If so that's sick

Agreed

Nice, I'm glad they sent you the updated ones. I wonder how well the stitching will hold up and if the 3d lattice structure can withstand the thread or if it'll eventually cut through. Only time will tell I guess. Unless you constantly take your tongues off it shouldn't really encounter much stress anyway.
