Thanks for the reply guys. I figured it is only the outermost layer. The line itself isn't a huge concern to me but more the fact I can feel the slight ridge. Also a couple spots on the stick there's actual unevenness. Here's the pic. Overall handling it and flexing it, there doesn't seem to be any issues. Haven't shot aroundwith it yet though.
-
For those who own the 2n pro stick, is this ridge down the middle of the back of the stick s defect or just how it's manufactured? You can also see the seam on the top but doesn't seem as apparent.
-
Never had this happen on my trues. Only time I've seen this was when the waxed laces was baked with the skates. I've used Howie's and elite and this never happens when using them on trues normally.
-
Ya two sets is nice but also means 2x the profiling, unless you like the stick profile.

Are TRUE shafts and blades being discontinued?

"Starting with the kickpoint, the True AX9 Hockey Shaft features an optimized low-kick profile located at the bottom third of the shaft." -
Anything north of 430 I really notice. Onnand off the ice.

This is a standard shaft but low kick? Always thought the taper was what produced the low kick -
I found the clarino actually gets slippery. It's not an issue if I wear goin socks though, and the latest Bauer cut resistance socks are very good in grip as well bc of the Kevlar fibres.
-
Lol. You know what though, if it came with even a 3 mth warranty it would be a lot easier to stomach. But one mth is a joke for a stick north of 300 bucks can or USD.
-
Personally, I didn't think it was ridiculous. It was new. But not ridiculous. Now its just getting out of control since prices are rising every year for new models whereas before it was at a bit of a slower pace. I guess it's good for getting older sticks at a clearance price... Except Bauer and CCM seem to really put caps on advertised pricing even on d/c items.
-
This is getting ridiculous. Almost half the price of top end skates.
-
Do this. But def do something about it before it gets worse. Does it show similar wear on that side of the tongue as well? Maybe consider getting fresh tongues or the new pro tongues... That might help. Do they other skates show any similar wear as well?
-
Lighter than the 1n... And just 5 grams more than the 2n. Good price for those specs.
-
Never said he did but just replying to the post above about true changing their design
-
The medium cage doesn't fit,? Sorry might have missed it if it was already mentioned.
-
Don't think they will since the easy option is just not to lace the top eyelet. It will be too much of a hassle to redesign the skate to appease another category of players when the solution is already there (skip the top eyelet). From just looking at pictures, even though the trend right now seems to be players starting to skip the top eyelet, the majority still tie their skates all the way up.
-
The CCM orthomove insoles are pretty wide and I found it was a PAIN to get them out of the boot once inside. So if they are the yellow CCM orthomove insoles they aren't glued in there just wedged in there...
-
The facing on the CCM skates actually do wrap over the tongue during the heat moulding. It inevitably does it when you lace them while they are hot. It may not to the extent of the Trues but they still do to w degree. I would imagine the same with Bauer's with their traditional eyelets. Not sure about the lace lock system as it's one strip of hard plastic.
-
The reduced facing makes it easier to reduce negative space without necessarily doing the wrap technique though. You don't need as much wrap to reduce the negative space as the laces can be used to adjust the fit more so than the facing. With more wrap the laces have less to do with actual adjustment, and also makes it easier to get your foot in and out. But like you said, even without a reduced facing you can eliminate the negative space from heating alone unless it's in the area like the toebox and base of the skate / sole.
-
If heat moulded properly with the tongue, it should literally mould to your foot and the facing should wrap your foot and accommodate your low volume foot. My trues def seemed like it had more volume than my as1 pencil test wise (tongue pulled out) but the true tongue is quite a bit beefier than most stock retail tongues and once the tongue was in place, it filled up the difference in negative space. Along with using the wrap technique on the top of the skates, I used tensor for the entire forefoot so I had a complete wrap on my entire boot during the heat moulding. If this doesn't work then you should request a remake if the fit does cause you issues. If you're basing it just off the pencil test and not actual performance and fit wise laces up, it's not really a fair comparison bc the fit of Trues is like no other. They were great skates imo, but of course to each their own and they aren't for everyone.
-
That's the cage version of the visit flip lol. Aka monahan, kronwall, hagelin etc.
-
If they're anything like the as1, the boots are very spot heat mouldable with a heat gun. You could get easily great up an area and form it with ease. I did this when I had mine. You have to be careful bc they heat up fast and get super soft.
-
Stock up when u find a good one when on clearance.
-
If anything maybe reach out to true and see if they can redo the liner. If anyone can do it , it should be them. They do offer repairs. It be warned their repair work can seem pretty sub par sometimes.

Just put the CCM vr25 on my warrior Alpha one pro and no issues with the screw sitting flush with the spacers and screws it came with.
