    Maybe it was more the foam padding they use that actually mould to your foot which really isn't a tonne of customization. I've heated moulded all three. And the Bauer def was the least heat mouldable, and it was quite noticeable.

    From my experience Bauer skates aren't even that mouldable. The boots for the CCMs get super soft and so does the trues but never got that impression with Bauer's.

    The prices on the true site is for the old version. When they launch the new version the prices will all be updated to 1149 cad from 1099

    The new look is available in Aug in NA. But if u order mid July you'll get the new pro custom version. So not surprisingly this is still the old version.

    Probably not hard to blackout the blue yourself since it's on the raised lines.
  6. Sniper9
    Much better without the blue imo
  7. Sniper9
    You could prob try them on heat moulded in store before u purchase.

    I agree it should have always been a bolt system from the get go. Easier to replace and also a rivet just looks cheap.

    Same. Never had issues with the tendon on either of my trues. Ppl need to just stop using it as leverage to take their skates off. There's no reason why a copper rivet isn't more than enough to secure that part. Rivets on the holder is another story though.

    Nice to know they added forefoot foam. As1 were literally the wick liner over the shell. Do u know if the foam goes over where the boot meets the toe cap? I had issues with the as1 where the ridge where the toe cap and quarter package attached dug into my pinky.

    Order them with holders not attached and no holes drilled (or just tell them to drill holes for the marsbalde). I had them do that for my ccm SB holders. They drilled the holes specifically for the SB holders and kept the true holders off. I just ended up selling my true holders on sideline.

    I'm assuming the tf7 would still have an adjustable tongue Wonder if they will make a retail goalie skate too.

    Lizard skin fan here. I love the way the lizard skin feels. Adds some cushion and just the right amount of tack. My grip is about 6 inches so I can't get away with splitting the grip on half and end up wasting quite a bit.. I might make them shorter to get two sticks out of one as they are a bit pricey. Durability is decent but like others I also notice the edge part of the very top of the butt end starts to wear more.

    I'm guessing retailers will let consumers try them on baked first before they buy since that's really the only way to experience them.

    I have the qredge non pro. But from what I can tell with what I've read and also with their gloves, the pro version offers a touch more roomier fit.
  17. Sniper9
    Ya that's one thing I don't like about the retails. Well the only thing I don't like. It's nice that it's going to be quite a bit cheaper than customs and most people won't need a fully custom true boot since they are so thermoformable.
  18. Sniper9
    I'll have to confirm that the CCM skates are very very mouldable. In terms of pliability pretty much the same as true, and takes less heat / time when using a heat gun. The Bauer's still are no where near thermaformability vs the two mentioned.
  19. Sniper9
    Warrior feels stiffer than my trues. CCM seems about the same as my true if not just a touch stiffer. I actually like how true feels softer vs other brands as I don't have to drop down to an intermediate flex and the fact they don't offer a 70 Sr. Bauer comes in 77 so it's not really a fair comparison. Kind of sucks it's not standardized across companies, but I realize kick point etc affects how whippy or stuff a stick feels vs how it plays. Oh Sher wood. Def is stiffer. 75 is def more like an 80-85

    I use a p28 so everything except sauces are toe lol.

    For me low wristers have nothing to do with the type of curve. Think of it as you're passing it but harder. Which brings me to my next question, are you able to make hot passes without it being a foot off the ice? Lol. I play with some who for the life of him can't pass a puck with some kick behind it without it being at least a few inches off the ice. He literally shoots it. Your follow through will definitely bc shorter for low shots. Because the follow through of your blade should be where you're aiming. It's probably already been covered by the above replies but I'm too lazy to read all of it right now. I've never had to really thinking about how I keep my low shots low, but to me I don't think the mechanics are much different than making a really hard pass.

    If I was as into roller as ice I would get true inlines. But I haven't played inline hockey in about 8 years. I'm looking to get back into it next summer. If roller is your primary type of hockey you play I say go for it. If not I'd try to find some used or pro return ones. Or even wait for their retail version ice skates to come out and slap some online chassis on them.

    Got some Bauer x2.9 roller but had to retune them bc of volume issues. Pencil test passed but bc there was not enough wrap the laces on the forefoot were too much pressure on the tendon on both my feet. I had them on inside my house for not even an HR and my left foot was in pain for two days. First time I've worn a vapor skate though. Previously I've had supreme, as1, and currently true. It's a shame Bauer only offers vapor for inlines otherwise it's mission which is only an e width for models other than the top two. I'm going to prob get a used set or pro stick return of Trues and have the marsblade rs1 holder mounted.

    Same. Me and a buddy ordered the chassis and wheels combo. Great price. Haven't been on roller blades in years!
  25. Sniper9
    Shave the blade. Also try heating up the shaft only so the blade hosel doesn't expand from the heat, and only the shaft. Just use enough heat to melt the glue on the hosel but don't heat it to the point that it may cause the wood to expand.
