    What I don't get is that if a 6.5 for tf9 is the same as 7 in Bauer/ccm, wouldn't the holder still remain the same (263), since both are the same physical length? Unless the shift holder doesn't max out on the length of the skate from heel to toe, and true has it so the holder always comes short of the toe a bit.

    Location is on the website..

    It's not a secret the majority of people swap the true holders to tuuk or xs ones. At the end of the day whether people use the shift holder or not, they're paying for the shift holders so I don't think true cares lol

    They are just reposting someone else's pic. They do that a lot. JS is John Schiavo who owns true sponsored pro player.

    It sounds like you won't be satisfied until you get a new stick. So just warranty it for peace of mind. If it's the same continuous tick noise it's likely fine. If it's more of a crack or crunch noise like a branch of a tree cracking then it's likely going to snap. From my experience when a stick makes noise and ultimately breaks it would do it suddenly and the cracking wild sounds like it's spreading or just explode. If it's making the same sound each time and doesn't sound like it's spreading it's probably fine. But like I said. Seems like you're losing sleep over this so just warranty it.

    The crunching noise from a dead blade is diff than the crackling or ticking sound of the shaft.

    Ccm still makes fused sticks fyi. I have two trigger 4 pros. One had a crackle sound when I flexed it for the first couple times but it went away. One clicks every time in the exact same spot. I don't notice any cracks on the shaft at all and my shots are suffering. Stick did this from day one. It may just be epoxy on the inside. My ft3 pro didn't an doesn't make any sound tho.

    Your tongue will get compressed from the bake. At least with the felt ones. Not sure about the light weight ones. What I do is heat the skate with tongues. Tie them up. And when I finish the baking and moulding process, I rebake the tongues separately so the crease lines and the areas compressed will "puff" out again. Put them in the fridge to cool em quicky, and they're good to go.

    I hate negative space in the toe cap so much my tongues are pushed forward (not all the way) AND I made my own version of power foot inserts with pieces of eva foam from the dollar store. It doesn't pack like the soft foam the power foots are made of.
  10. Sniper9
    It's probably bc you were over tightening.
  11. Sniper9
    Have you tried the ft3 pro? Especially if you're looking at a better snapper
  12. Sniper9
    Good thing Xmas is around the corner. And by then the trigger 4 prob will be marked down 🙂
  13. Sniper9
    Are the pressure points on the actual boot or only around the tongue area like you described. If tongue, then you're probably lacing too tight. Or like u said move the tongue around.

    Love ccm sticks and gear now. Used to be a Bauer homer too but ccm is stepping up big time. I own the trigger 4 and ft3 pro. When I used the trigger 4 pro it was by far the best stick I've had. Then I got the ft3 pro.... The ft3 pro is obviously a different kick point but overall I prefer the ft3 pro just slightly. I just feel it loads in a way my shots are more accurate without sacrificing that much pop/kick. The trigger has insane pop/kick though but I'm less accurate because of it. If your son is used to low kick aka the flylight, you can't go wrong with hr trigger. Imo though, get the trigger 4. I hear it's not a tonne of diff than the trigger 5 except weight and they will be marked down. I never thought I'd stray away from low kick sticks, specifically, the trigger, but the ft3 pro changed my mind 🤪
  15. Sniper9
    You didn't feel the pressure points in the store as they cooled? You didn't try them on inside at all after?
  16. Sniper9
    I stand corrected. Forgot sf sizing were letters.
  17. Sniper9
    U should've went for d but one size up in length and cut those.

    I've stopped even entertaining the idea of buying from base hockey. I've owned four sticks from when they first started out. At the time they were by far the most durable stick out there, and for 150ish bucks cdn, they were a steal, and performed very well. But now there's a lot more competition like no name, chs, etc. Base does have unique curves etc, but for me, I use a p28 70-75 flex. Nothing fancy.

    These splash guards are as useless. You really think hard breathing isn't going to go around the guard etc. If you're going to play hockey you should be inheriting the increased risk of contacting covid. You're not going to protect yourself more with this. The only thing, imo, that would decrease the risk is straight up wearing a mask, like CCMs.

    I think if you got try customs you can request a higher cut. You should see if this is an option as I know I've read them doing a lower cut boot and also reduced facing for less wrap.

    I returned the medium and cancelled the order on the small and ended up with traditional pants. I ended up getting the ft1 pants in medium. They are pretty snug and fit more like a larger small. The medium ft1 pants fit snugger in the right places vs the girdle. Girdle felt kind of of sloppy for me in a medium. And the shell actually restricted movement for me. But to each their own.

    It's a completely diff feel. And personal preference. I for one will never wear another skate, unless true changes their skate so much it's a diff fit years from now. I went from Bauer supremes for years with no issues except a small hot spot when walking to and from the change room. I tried trues and it was incredible. I then tried the as1 which was the worst break in period I've ever had. Once that was over though the skate felt fine but I had to be careful not to tie them up too tight or it gave me lacebite which I never had before. Taking passes off the as1 hurt like hell, I couldn't imagine taking shots off the boot. I took a hard slapper on my trues and although it did hurt and left a bruise, I didn't miss the shift. Went back to trues and am staying loyal. I tried on some vapors just to walk around earlier this year and I didn't like the fit and lack of comfort. Again that's just me. It's all preference. If you have no issues at all with what you're using right now, there's no point changing other than being curious or being a gear whore like some or maybe most of us on this forum are 🤪

    To me it kind of does. With your experience in the previous pics I would expect the true 7r and Bauer 8ee to be the same in length. Maybe it's a quality control thing more than anything with mislabeled sizes? Did u match the size inside the boot with the tongue.
  25. Sniper9
    Wonder why that is... Esp since the tries actually look smaller
