    Didn't really make much of a difference to me. Obviously more forward lean but I messed around with it when tying my skates loose to try and alleviate the foot pain.

    I'm about a month or so in with the Super Tacks and have to say so far I'm very happy with the skate. I had a short rough patch of intense foot pain with skates, centered on the arch area and forefoot of the skate. It made skating pretty unbearable but I pushed through each skate trying to tie my skates loose, leaving the top eyelet undone, etc. Ultimately I swapped out the footbeds for the CCM Medium Arch footbeds and haven't experienced any pain or discomfort since. When I was experiencing the foot pain it was when using my custom Superfeet and the new Carbon Superfeet. I intend on going back and giving those footbeds another try but for now the CCM insole is what I am sticking to. Outside of that the skate has been fine, no hotspots or blister areas or lacebite. The other thing that I've been really impressed with is the liner of the skate, I've skated in some pretty hot rinks and I sweat like crazy but every time I take the Super Tacks off the liner still feels bone dry.

    Coming from Vapors (original APX), I didn't feel any difference in pitch when switching to the Super Tacks. I haven't used Nexus or Supreme so I can't comment on that reference.

    Welcome to the club

    I thought about shimming the heel but with added height on the Lightspeed plus the LS3 I decided against it. Wanted to keep the set up as close to what I had on my APX as possible, so this was/is perfect.

    Yup 272 on 7.5, no problems. New holes needed of course but that's it. The 272 fon't hang they fit perfectly.

    No issues getting the Tuuks on, obviously new holes needed but no problems. I specifically waited for SummerJam to try these out before I bought, very happy with the decision.

    Seccond in with Super Tacks, got 272 Lightspeed Edge holders put on and all is right in the world. Also added SuoerFeet Carbon insoles, didn't notice them which I guess is a good thing but also didn't notice any profound improvement, still a step up from the stock memory foam insole. The most noticeable thing was post skate, very warm rink and we skated for a good 1.5 hours and the liner on the skates weren't even the slightest bit wet or damp. Very impressed considering how hot the rink was and the amount of sweat.

    Just put the carbons into my new super Tacks, tough to say if they had an impact as this was only my second time in the Suoer Tacks but the good part was that I don't notice the Suoerfeet at all. No pain, discomfort, etc. No added fatigue either while skating in them which I had sometimes noticed previously. I'm coming from custom Superfeet which I'm going to rotate in with the new Super Tacks so it should be interesting to see after mixing those in.

    I just picked mine up yesterday. Fit wise they're perfect, I'm coming from pro stock APX that were 7 3/4 and the 7.5 SuperTacks fit a little bit more snug but not enough to warrant a half size jump. I was a little worried about the depth of the boot but after baking them the skate wrapped really well around my foot that the depth is not a concern. No hotspots or areas of discomfort to speak of, my only gripe would be with the footbed or cut out piece of memory foam they're calling a footbed. I'm going to use my custom Superfeet to see how they feel but ideally I think the Bauer Speedplate might the ideal pairing with these skates. When I tried the Superfeet at Summerjam the only issue I had was with the holder and footbeds. Luckily I have an extra set of light speed holders I am going to throw on next week but in the mean time I'll give the CCM holder a whirl.

    I'm assuming they are bake able. I thought these were tabbed as a competitor to speed plates. I could very well be wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time.
  12. the_game
    If you bake these like the Speedplates the arch is going to adjust once you bake them.

    That blade shape reminds me of some of the Brett Hull Pro stocks I had.
  14. the_game
    I was surprised with the Inno background Base didn't have an option with the 'Mogilny' curve.
  15. the_game
    P89/Darby/Vanek curve is a must!
  16. the_game
    When will we be able to order the new shaft options?
  17. the_game
    The first pair cracking I attributed to some extremely cold weather and being forced to leave my gear in a garage. The shop where I got them said the cracking was common and replaced them on the spot. This pair I had been rotating with my custom Superfeet and they just cracked out of the blue. I really like the speed plates but my footbeds cracking on a regular basis is not something I'm gonna mess with.
  18. the_game
    Just cracked my second set of speed plates last night, can't wait for May 18th.
  19. the_game
    I'd stay away from these footbeds, second set just cracked last night. The two pairs I've had only lasted a little over 3 months each. Not worth the price if they're going to crack like this.
  20. the_game
    So we're going to have the Warrior QRL glove and CCM QLT glove...Are these guys even trying anymore? Joking aside CCM protective I've seen has been real nice, I'm in line for new elbows and think I see my next pair.
  21. the_game
    Finally a tapered shaft, gonna need to stock up on a bunch of these in 75 flex! And I am glad someone else is old enough to remember the Rawlings zipper palm, I am gonna go back to yelling at those kids to get off my damn lawn now.

    TSR is total sports repair in Salem, NH, DK's is DK's Hockey in Enfield CT. you can find them both online. Teams usually advertise them on their websites towards the end of the year.
  23. the_game
    Its the overseas version of the 'easton' cuff, its not that bad, plus tapered mesh gussets as well. They need to get broken in but after that should be money. The Halls on the other hand are just pure perfection. All over, eBay, Team Sales, TSR, DK's, Hockeymonkey, Prostockhockey.com, Buy/Sell Forums, other contacts I've made from these boards, etc.
