    Then you did it wrong

    I hate that in store stock is so terrible right now. I can't even try the skates I want. Literally have to buy a bunch online and return. Good thing PayPal offers return shipping reimbursement.

    Custom equipment are made to order so it's actually better for companies to make stuff as the orders come in. They don't have to worry about overstock. And they get paid the full amount up front

    The true shift actually should be your last option since you'd need to drill new holes for them. Id go with the ccm xs, or even the older sb 4.0. Both will pretty much lineup with the existing holes. I'm a huge fan of the tuuk ls2 holders but they are rare now and steel is rare too (although you can find some on sls still). Only issue is you'd have to drill a hole in your boot for steel changing.

    Trust me, if you find a skate that give you ZERO issues. Just stick with them. Chances are other skates won't fit as well or comfortable since every manufacturer uses a diff boot last for their retail boots.

    If the vapors fit like a glove why bother trying other skates?
  7. Sniper9
    Are you set on the pros? The retails are always on sale now. Also the ft390 which are the model down but more or less the Same.
  8. Sniper9
    This is my issue too. But I've never had success sizing down on those who recommend it. Maybe those ppl are in between Sizes and the pro gloves are 1/2 a size bigger which makes a big diff to them.
  9. Sniper9
    I really like the look and fit if the ft1. Always wanted to try the pro stock version as I'm a fan of the pro palm and less gimmicky materials. Mond posting pics?
  10. Sniper9
    It is. I need to size down. Sucks. Bauer and warrior I find have gotten bigger vs years past. Ccm I'm still a 14 though. For now. The ft1 is nice and fitted. But it does loosen up over time like all.gloves as the padding packs in a bit. You can find ft1s on clearance/sale online too. Especially in Canada

    Yup. Pretty much what happened. But there's too much talk about Chinese knockoff which this isn't.
  12. Sniper9
    This looks real in that it's a real ccm stick. It's a team version and has the graphics to promote their most current line. It's not retail spec but it's not a "fake" ccm.
  13. Sniper9
    His custom pro spec skates are probably more or less 3x pros. But with the skate shortage, the closest to his specs is probably a retail 3x pro.
  14. Sniper9
    I've had china knockoffs from Amazon, UA, true, etc. Haven't noticed a huge difference between brands. They all feel and fit slightly diff but. Nothing crazy. I will say that UA is tighter than most brands and offers. Ore compression. I like the ones with grip for the elbow pads and shins though.

    I had issues with the damn toe cap killing my pinky toe in the ccm as1. I had to put a piece of Eva foam along that area to cover that ridge. It worked well but that experience made me stay away from ccm. That and I love my trues.
  16. Sniper9
    Two donuts an hour before the game. Don't knock it until you try it. Not healthy but damn, your legs will be fire.
  17. Sniper9
    Is this bc of stability? Seems like something more than preference bc most nhlers use oversize.
  18. Sniper9
    Before u bake just use the powerfoot inserts do whatever works for you and feels comfortable. I made my own out of Eva foam from the dollar store which is much firmer and not like a sponge and won't pack in after a while like powertoots do.
  19. Sniper9
    Where is your tongue positioned? If they are stock height, lower them so they fill up more dead space. Mine are about 1/2 way into the toe box and I also made my version of powerfeet shims that pretty mich eliminate any toe wiggle for me. You can use tensor wrap on the lower eyelets. This is how I baked mine.

    The older gen junior true retail skates are dirt cheap online fyi. Like 200cdn.
  21. Sniper9
    Anti slip tape is like 80 grit lol. Looked on Amazon. 220 is pretty fine. Not 1000 grit fine of course. Tempted to try the anti slip tape now.
  22. Sniper9
    The only plus side of using something like this for me is that snow buildup and saturation of water. Even with wax. There's pros and cons. It can keep the water off but wax also doesn't stay "tacky" when it gets really gold from the ice. If I ever used something like this I'd still tape the toe though. Then again most brands have a textured finish on their blades now adays that mimick some friction. I actually have yet to test out my sticks just taping the toe and seeing how well the factory texture on the blade is during game play.
  23. Sniper9
    You're fine. For the customs at least true stated to me I could bake it upwards of nine times with no issues
  24. Sniper9
    I wonder if it's pretty much the same as anti slip tape (such isn't cheap either) but you get a roll of like 30 ft for 30 bucks.
  25. Sniper9
    If you didn't wrap it during the baking this should be done. Kick back into heel and the Saran wrap locks it in there also making sure the the eyelet facings are tight up against the tongue and ensuring your ankle and heel stay in this spot until it cools.
