I'm sure this has been asked, but I want to be specific with my question and the closest LHS is 3 hrs away; I wear a 7.5 EE One95 and the skate fit's great in every area but one (and I love the skate after I changed the runner to the LS 2.0). There is a ton of room in the toe box. The arch, heel and length are all great. Would a X60 7.5 EE fix the toe box issue, or would I end up loosing the benefits in the other areas? Or should I look into the CCM U+ skates? Or am I looking for a skate (the perfect skate) that doesn't exist? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know where I can get a 2010 Combat 52 Cal - Standard Shaft 80 flex (or lower)? I wish they would sell direct in the US, b/c none of the on-line dealers carry this shaft.

So nothing new from TPS? No more R10?

Do they offer the 52 CAL shaft in the rounded shape? It doesn't look that way from the catalogue.

TPS R8 WHIP "Pro Feel" (70 Flex) Tappered Background: 5'8" 170 lbs Type of Play: Beer League Frequency: 2+ per week Blades Used (in order): - TPS R8 - Nash Previous Sticks; - TPS R8 OPS - RBK 10K - NB One95 OPS & Two Piece Flex / Shaft: The WHIP Flex is right on target. I have to cut my sticks so it's probably around 80 and it is whipy. The shaft shape is what I really love about this stick. It's basically an Intermediate shaft with Senior dimensions. So if you want a little more flex in your stick, but love the way your intermediate shaft feels in your hands, then this is the stick for you. 10/10 Weight: This is a light shaft - with the R8 blade, the balance is good as well. I will be adding a wood end plug eventually to help with the balance, but it's not a necessity. I feel it has better balance then my 10K OPS and equal to my ONE 95 OPS. 9/10 Shooting / Passing: This shaft is great for wristers and slap shots. It's a great all around stick. With some sticks I've had problems with one of my shots, but not with the R8 OPS or Two Piece. I'm not sure how much a shaft helps you pass, but my passes have been great with this shaft. 9/10 Durability: It's been about 4 months and the shaft looks brand new. So does the blade. I don't use it every time I skate, but so far, so good. 9/10 Overall: I have become a huge TPS fan after using both their OPS and Two Piece. They are great all around sticks that can be used for any position on the ice. I just ordered an R6 to test out the tri-flex thing and if I like it will eventually get an R10. I had a R8 Standard Shaft, but sold it to buy a One95 Shaft and that was a huge mistake. I will eventually get a standard shaft as well to go with my blades. 9.5/10
