Curve advice needed for a nice passing, deking blade
Sniper9 replied to HockeyTactics's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Where to cut the stick is completely up to you and is personal preference irregardless of the pattern. -
Or just a plastic polish that would remove just enough of the painted logo.
-
Thanks. I was just curious as to whether it changed the volume of the skate if the tongues were thinner, which would potentially require a remould
-
Thanks. I'll pop in as well and see if my local stores have them.
-
U get a chance to hold the 2x non pro? Seems like a canada only model.
-
Anyone swap their old to guess for the new ones? Just wondering if you had to re hear mould the skates along with the new tongue. I really don't want to do this as the skates are pretty dialed in. I noticed the new tongues are almost if not just as thick as the felt ones so it may not be necessary, and just get away with heating the tongues alone.

Looks like the 2x didn't get dropped and available in Canada. Kind of weird that it's only a 30 dollar difference than the 2x pro.... Can't really find specs on it in terms of weight though. I noticed this bc it's going on sale for black Friday at sport chek and I almost got it mixed up with the 2x pro. Also does anyone know how much the 2x pro weighs? Bauer's site says the 60" version is 425 grams and 62" is 440 whereas every other retail website says the 60" in 413 grams and the 62" is 425. https://www.sportchek.ca/product/bauer-vapor-2x-grip-senior-hockey-stick-332870935.html#332870935=332870963

The hex of the SB bolt prob fits nicely against the tendon guard too as it has a hex cutout.
-
Then I guess you'll always wonder 🙃

I def notice a diff in lag when using a high to mid kick stick like the 1s vs my 1n and also qrls etc. Does it actually make a diff in terms of velocity and results who knows. But i def feel the lag in the shaft when loading the 1s. In general I find I do have a better slapshot with mid kick sticks though. Overall I like the feel better of variable and low kick sticks and that's really all that matters. What feels good to u.
-
They generally are but Amazon has them for pretty cheap rn. I just order a set for 24 cdn on Amazon Canada. Where did u see them for 10? You can technically spot mould the arches. I did that before to both flatten and increase the arch and it worked well with a hear gun. Not sure if it's worth the time etc for some ppl though.
-
Well I'd argue air drying isn't working well bc it's still causing damage. Also there are also skate dryers you can shove into your skates that help dry the skates up faster. Something like this Or even generic dehumidifier packs.
-
Have u tried using the rocket dryer or literally a blow dryer to dry out the skates asap rather than air dry? I agree the Trues really soak up the sweat, esp with how the inside sole of the boot has a layer of saran wrap and what appears to be masking tape. It is odd that your eyelets are rusting over that quick as they are easily dried by wiping them down.
-
I think more ppl have had issues with their injected eyelets then standard ones. At the end of the day wear issues occur in some and not in others in diff areas of skates throughout all brands. True may just not be for you in terms of what you want out of a skate durability wise. Also, who knows whether the current line if Bauer's last as long as ur mx3s
-
No one can really answer this because your arch pain can be caused by various things. I saw the new tongue in person today for the first time and it's actually quite beefy. I expected it to bee really thin but it's not.
-
This. It has nothing to do with time frame but total hours. I am on the ice 1-2 times a week and about 1.5-2 hrs a session and my skates show no real issues after a year. Just surface scratches and scuffs and just some minor surface rust on some of the rivet prongs. Not even all just the ones more prone to exposure to sweat and water. You should rebake them after the foam compacted. I've rebaked my skates three times in the first four mths. The first bake was meh. The last bake really dialed them in bc it took into account the foam being a bit more compact etc. You shouldn't have to crank on the laces with these skates at all.
-
This is also an excellent time for ppl to get trues. Free upgrades for personalization including blacksteel. And 7 day rush turnaround. Even makes me want to get a second pair 😑
-
How many times a week are you on the ice? Did ur previous skates last much longer with the same amount of use? By eyelets coming loose do you mean them rusting over and need replacing or literally breaking off?
-
If u get arch pain even in custom skates or speed plates then you need to look further into why you are having arch pain as it's probably biomechanical. You may have to start doing some exercises and fascial release of the arch muscles, and even work hour way up to the calves and shins etc.
-
. True does make the boot according to your arch height as well. You can always try speedplates too as they conform to your specific arch. I'd try speed plates if ur current skates are fine other than the arches I think you quoted the wrong post.
-
I like elite bc I actually like how thin they are (the waxed ones) but they def don't last as long as Howie's. I like Howie's bc of how durable they are but they have less wax than I'd prefer. Still very good laces though.

If you've had a few skates in them with no issue I don't think you will have issues. I haven't read anywhere about ppl saying they have issues bc of no comfort edge. Ppl complain about not having them but just bc other brands have them not bc it causes issues.
-
Only way to see is to try em. I've never needed any type of comfort edge on my skates though so my experience wouldn't be helpful to you on that regard.
-
Imo they look like garbage.
