What does a degree of pitch equal? Example: 1 degree = 1/32"
-
Did you track your package to make sure he got them?
-
Tendon guard on my left skate broke about 10 skates in.
Concerned if this will be a 1 time issue or ongoing. Would be quite expensive to repair over time with shipping and repair costs. -
Syinx, you thought the mako II tongue felt thinner? I thought easton went to a thicker tongue this year.

I wear an 8 in Bauer and my makos are an 8. Hockey monkey might still have some inventory left.

Anybody attended one of the Easten Ranger Camp session where you can demo the Mako II and new synergy stick?
-
On a related note, I got new ES4 steel for my Makos about 9 months ago. I broke one of them on Tue in a drop in game, so, I had to throw a relatively new set I had as back up in for my game Wed. Even though they were both ES4 steel in Makos and had initially been profiled exactly the same, by the same person at the same time, 9 months of sharpening once a week or two had made them different enough to feel like different skates.
Good luck on you quest.
Ideally you want to rotate those sets to avoid the shock of new steel.

Asked this just recently but post got lost in the site rebuild. For those that have switched to a different insole, what did you switch to and improvement? Also did you leave the red insole underneath?
-
For those that put LS2's on them how did the pitch feel compared to Vapors or Supremes?
-
Krev, I assume the pitch on the steel is still the same on the Mako 2 ?

I was just going by the video from Easton's youtube. I had my oven set at 200, but my thermometer was reading a little higher. The video said 10 mins for Easton ovens, and 6 mins for anything else (which is kinda dumb), so I did about 6-7 mins in my oven.
Did you do yours at home or at a hockey shop? I think you're right though, I did the same thing with my vapors - which is what finally made them feel good. I just dont wanna go too hot or too long. I didn't feel as bad pushing it with the vapors because they werent nearly as expensive/nice as these.
I did mine at a hockey shop since I bought them there. It was a Bauer oven.

I'd skate in then abd see how the feel. If need a 2nd bake, then do it. But bake them longer per the instructions. Most Mako boxes either said 10 minutes or 16 minutes. I did my first bake at 10 and then after a few skates rebaked but for about 12-14 minutes.

the video is in english
Oops. Thanks. Didnt check the video. I prefer to read. LOL.

How has the toe been holding up? Do they offer a rubber toe cap?
-
I got the ankle sore spot and so did all 4 friends that bought them. 5 out of 5 is not too good. And since they are tweaking that area on the mako2 it seems it is the skate and not the wearer.

Kinda bummed no new helmets. Was hoping for a price drop on the E700.
-
Had mine since March playing 2-4 times a week and still look great.
-
Don't agree that stiffer is better just as lightest is not always best. I've been on mine for 8 months now at least 4 times/week and there's no sign of them breaking down.
agreed been using mine since March and look nearly new. a guy last night commented, "look at those shiny new skates"; I had to laugh..
-
I know someone previously posted something similar to this with Tron and post office delivering but seems odd. I live in southwest US and have ordered from them 4-5 times with not one issue.
-
Most likely random.
If you're not baking the skates, you're losing out on the entire point of the skates.
Baking these is the key to maximizing the fit to your unique foot. Bake them.
-
the steel has been great for me . holds the sharp edges longer than my LS 2.
-
2 1/2 half months playing two to three times a week, things still look basically new, no issues at all for me

Is it attached with a copper rivet like the standard guard? Does it seem more durable long term?
