Jrz is essentially step and they make steel for true shift max holders

Each holder has their pros and cons. Ive actually been impressed with the true holders. Been using Bauer and ccm holders previously. You also save money keeping the true holders on since you pay for them regardless of whether u are going to use them for ur svh skates.

Threw them out lol. I was thinking what I would use them for and couldn't think of anything so didn't wanna hoard more stuff.

Thanks! Just did it. Super easy. Gloves feel much more flexible and look better too imo.

Just a question regarding removing the shot blockers via seam ripper. Is the stitching for the shot blockers additional stitching on top of the glove that's already been completed or is it a part of the entire assembly. I ask because I don't want to rip the seam and have other parts of the glove detach. If it matters I have pro stock ft1s with shot blockers made for the CHL team stock.

Ya I ordered my jrz dlc steel from them for my trues. Great sharpening job.

Good luck. Worst case you swap it for a different size lol. Does the 30 day guarantee apply to the goalie tf9?

Ccm makes a foam 3d last and pressure mold the skate boot to this last. Bauer I think does the same thing but I'm not sure if they 3d print a last or alter a stock last that's close to your for shape. Neither Bauer or ccm build a skate from bottom up. True svh does.

Correct me then instead of making a vague statement. Both ccm and Bauer make custom skates with prefabricated shells which are pressure molded to your foot last.

I've been using tuuks and ccm holders up until my recent true cat pros. Unlike most people, I didn't need to really adjust to them aside from the shift holders being taller, and this was more bc now my stick felt shorter so I added about 1/4" extension on them. But everyone is diff. Everyone will have their opinions about true, ccm and Bauer. True svh is the only complete custom out there. If ur main priority is comfort than true svh, no question.

Not sure you have all the stats to back up you 14+ age group statement. It's not uncommon that more skilled skaters may use a more shallow hollow in general, but your generalized statement that covers a huge age range and continent.... And you're assuming nylander hoglander petterson use a shallow hollow.

Maybe get flooded customs to design something for you. Apparently the wraps he has are pretty thick. Alternatively you can also cover the vinyl with helicopter tape to protect the vinyl. Personally, with skates these days which are all painted with graphics, I would at minimum put helicopter tape on it to protect the boot and exposed carbon. That or get stick on shot blockers lol

Personally id just wrap it in vinyl. Removable and easy to put on. U can even just cover the red only with strips. I'd also contact flooded customs on ig. But really to just black out the red with carbon fiber vinyl or even a color of your choice would be the route I'd take.

Well to be fair, they would've / should've seen it coming. The fact this program has been running for essentially five years, I doubt they lost any money. They probably are ending this program due to the fact that they now have gained a large number of people using their skates which was their goal to begin with. Bauer hasn't done this because they didn't need to as there will always be those loyal to Bauer. Ccm has made strides to gain a lot of customers and pro players using their skates.... And it doesnt hurt with mcdavid and other top NHL players now endorsing ccm. Wonder what Bauer is going to do. They definitely would've taken some loss over the years losing a lot of their sponsored players.

I'm pretty sure the flex ratings on sticks are measured at the same distance. Ie. A 70 flex standard height is the same flex as a 70 flex at extended length. At least within the same company. Obviously the 64" will feel whipper when you're flexing it at it's full length vs the 60" but that's not how it's measured for quality control. It's not measured at the end of the butt end.

Ya for me it seemed like the genetix insoles that's came with my skates are quite a bit thicker than anything out there and that I've used. Bc of the added height it actually placed my foot higher in the boot and out of line with the ankle pockets. It also caused the edge of the tongue to really pinch that area in my foot. When I went back to my speed plates the pain was pretty much gone. I feel a slight rub only when walking but nothing painful or annoying like it was with the genetix insoles. I think it I went one step further and modified the edge of the tongue the issue would be completely gone but bc I barely notice it now, and it's only when I'm walking, I'm not gonna bother doing anything about it. Right now I'm using the cat tongues that come with the cat 9s. I actually like them. I didn't think I would as I've always used their felt but I don't mind the extra stiffness the t guard adds. I might throw in the felt ones to see how they feel at some point though.

Where did you get that kuch pro sample. Or is that one from Bauer's custom sample.

They may be flex tested but they also could be a misprint for flex or put into the wrong "pile" which is also part of QC

Sounds expensive.... Lol. As in even more expensive than the 1300+ price tag on custom skates now.

Does he specifically say the company is making hockey skates or speed skating

I personally wouldn't be able to use a stick that was 10 flex pts stiffer.

That's a huge issue if the flex is that off. Reminds me of the blackout stick I got from HSM. Ordered 75 and it felt legit like 95... They obviously all come from the same factory in china more or less. You're just paying for tht customization with prostockhockey

Nice. Where did you get yours from. The 3" is the size I'd want because that's the widest part that the ones that come with the cat pros. If you're in Canada I wouldn't mind paying for some and you can throw it in just regular letter mail. Aso, I realized this is prob the stuff they marketed as the film that protected hockey sticks when ops first came out. You put the film on the slash zones of the stick since that area was prone to breaking back when ops weren't as durable. Anyone remember this product?

No. Unless u get really bad quality cheap ones. But theyre not supposed to yellow. And the thing that causes yellowing is generally UV, which skates aren't going to be exposed to.

You pretty much hit it spot on. That's exactly what it is. It's just a thicker more durable PPF. The only thing I'd do differently is to use a blow dryer to REMOVE the old film which I didn't do when I removed the one that came with my skates. I just peeled it off and bc of how sticky it is, in some small areas, the film took off a bit of clear coat and graphics from the skate. But now I know.
