stevo 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 When it comes to holders it's all about personal preference. Try them out before you change anything. You might find that they work for you. Personally, I like the Eblade holders very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PH_Hockey2 4 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 I don't mind the prolites they don't seem too bad but they dont compare to the tuuk customs or the lightspeeds. Anyway the vectors are good skates. I have some friends that have them a here nothing but good things about them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have some friends that have them a here nothing but good things about them Lightspeeds seem like a nightmare to me. Several guys on my team have Vapor XX's with lightspeed holders and the blades break all the time. Most have changed the holders or switched to solid steel. Honestly, I wouldn't use Lightspeed's unless I absolutely had to...weakest steel I've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3760 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 No, the LS was finally fixed.I hate it for another reason - the old ones with the grooves in the holder never lined up well on a skate holder while sharpening and it was hit or miss trying to find squareness using a Maximum Edge quick square. The new ones with the flush holder are better. The steel is different as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bo from Boston 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 I bought the V-Pro's last week. The boot is very comfy and I am happy with it from a protection standpoint as well. (a few missiles off the ankles and no prob's)I am however still getting used to the blades. I think this design as compared to a standard Tuuk is a bit longer as I have had to make some adjustments in my stride. I have also noticed that they don't hold an edge as well as I needed to get them re-sharpened after 3 skates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would tell you to put some T-blades on but what were you skatin with before you got your pro's ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
