Saw this website and wondered if they were legit? Any experience with them? I'm really tired of using the refrew sold at my local shop and I noticed that they ship sportstape (which I've heard to be pretty good stuff). Any information would be nice. Thanks.

-6'2, 220 lbs -RH shot -Stick: Warrior Dynasty HD Pro- 100 flex, W88 I am reviewing the ProFormance Tape and Wax together, since I have, for the most part, been using them in tandem. I had previously used just the wax, but I have never used just the tape by itself. Here are the products themselves. So, obviously, tape first, then the Base, then the Max Control. Here is the damage, after about 12-15 skate sessions: Durability: Pretty remarkable. I play all over. On one rink and with one team, I am a forward, and I do quite a bit of forechecking, and trying to get shots on the net. On another rink and with another team, I play D, where I am not afraid to put my stick in front of guys winding up for big slap shots. The slapshots have hit this version of the tape, and barely leave any distortion or tear on the tape. Typically, I change the tape out after about 8-10 sessions. For whatever reason though, this tape job is just going on forever. Score: 10/10 Puck Feel/ Performance: Personal preference of course. I find that the wax greatly helps me when I have to fully extend with one hand to catch errant passes or random pucks that are threatening to leave the zone. The puck just sticks to the blade, just it's magnetic. Catching passes has also never been easier. Shooting is great. Not sure about stick handling. I play on horrible ice- it is either too wet, too dry, gravely, diveted, scalloped. I know good ice- pretty much everywhere I pay in the US is fine, but overseas where I presently play, it is just consistently bad. Regardless, I manage to keep the puck where I want it. I am by no means any sort of dangler or slick stickhandler. However, when I have space and need to skate he puck, I manage. I am not sure if this is attributable to the tape/ wax, or if I am just a decent handler now. Also, the wax seems to keep my blade dry, even when the conditions at my rink are puddly. Score: 9.5/10 (I cannot dangle like Kane, so -0.5) Value: The tape and wax is not cheap. I imagine that if I just went with the tape from the Dollar Tape Club, and Blade Butter (which does the job rather well), then I would likely save money. I imagine that I would need to re-tape quite a bit more often, as I was re-taping typically every 2 or 3 skates when I was using Renfrew tape and Blade Butter. You can do the cost analysis, I suppose one may need to factor in blade durability factor as well, which will be impossible to measure. All in all though, I am very satisfied with the product, and appreciate whatever went into researching and developing this, as it is definitely going above and beyond my expectations. Score: 9/10 - this stuff is not cheap. Intangibles: I admittedly use ALOT of wax. I do not notice this making the blade heavy, because it is all I know (to use alot of wax). Total score: 28.5/30/ 2 thumbs up
