Sniper9 started following Graf video with Mr. Graf, Ribcore Titanium Skates and CCM FV1 Full Face Visor
-
Didn't you just get the matrix
-
That's very interesting!
-
Sounds about right about how they are roomier in the toecap and forefoot. I did mentioned this above but I stated the Mach not matrix. But the matrix is essentially a softer boot version of the Mach and is an SMU skate. It's interesting you found the matrix more comfortable than the machs. I'm guessing it's probably the stiffness as it's a very comfy skate to me and others but I like a stiff skate. Machs are the most comfy retail skate I've worn.
-
I always thought online retailers in Canada could ship Bauer and ccm to the US now. But I'm obviously wrong. You sure these fit? The ultrasonics has a pretty narrow forefoot and toecap. They made the fit 1 and 2 2mm wider. I fit a fit 2 in the ultrasonics and the fit 1 crushed my feet. But I fit a fit 1 mach perfectly. Fit 3 stayed the same.
-
As long as you don't use the tendon guard to remove and put on your skates you'll be fine. It's the same tendon guard as the machs m5 pro 3s pro. It feels solid to me. But like any tendon guard it'll wear and break eventually if you use it like I mentioned above.

Ellipse Profiles – The next revolution in skate profiling?
Sniper9 replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
You definitely feel more blade on the ice so ya you do feel more stable but with that said I don't feel unstable with the ellipse. I feel more agile and feel like I can transition more smoothly which is exactly what it's advertised to be. With the quad I feel it kind of forces you to have longer strides where the ellipse with less blade contact my strides feel shorter. Def a benefit with "quick feet" for me on acceleration -
Ellipse Profiles – The next revolution in skate profiling?
Sniper9 replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Just an update with my experience with the ellipse 0. I'm sticking to it and like it much more than the quad 0. I've honestly never felt as comfortable in my skates as with this profile. I really liked the quad 0, but my experience with the ellipse has be awesome. I know it's not for everyone but it's definitely for me! -
Ellipse Profiles – The next revolution in skate profiling?

Then keep digging to see if there are shops that will do the ellipse with the prosharp templates then. It's not a skatescribe specific profile, it's a prosharp one. I find it hard to believe there are none in the US that will do it, but if you're not willing to ship within the states and you can't find any places locally then give up on it. -
I think @VegasHockeyknows all about the history of svh and true....
-
I don't deny true sticks and skates perform well. But I stand by durability issues. It's well known a documented with their sticks and also their catalyst skates. To the point where at one point every cat pro skate had additional cf fibre wrapped on the stock shell... The skate issue seemed somewhat hit or miss ill give you that. But their sticks don't last. At all. Unless your definitely of durability is completely different than mine. A stick should last more than two weeks. And I'm talking at the retail level, not pro stock as I have no experience with their pro stock.
-
Is this becoming discontinued for a newer model? I'm seeing some markdowns and it being less available online in some bigger stores
-
Good for Svh... But True is making a name for themselves as the brand that doesn't last... They really need to smarten up with durability with all their "extensive access to r/d"
-
When were they released? Exactly. "modern". Carbon fiber isn't modern. How you integrate it with the boot with other materials etc is what puts you apart. CCM and true has a great thermoformable recipe. True also has superior comfort. Bauer has their trustee curv composite that gets tweaks every so years.
-
If Graf started using more modern tech and materials, that would likely have to redesign their boots. You can't just replace the leather with carbon fiber and expect it to fit and feel the same but lighter and more durable. There's more too that than swapping materials. I don't see graf ever evolving to the level of technology as Bauer true and ccm. They have a market in Europe and it'll probably just stay that way. I'm assuming they also don't have the size and money for the R/D as well.

Ya I got my ellipse done on a skatescribe from Tydan. Super fast turnaround since it's automated and the edges were perfect.
