kingjames23rulz 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 May i ask why so many NHLers and college players put these on their skates instead of the LSP. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamnLocust 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 Many of them grew up on bauer skates which have been on customs for years. they're comfortable on the holders, and don't want to change. It can also make it easier on equipment managers, who have to stock spare holders and steel for the entire team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alias81 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 They aren't "better" he just explained to you why they use them alot in the NHL, look at the newer NBH skates that come out eg. XXX, XXXX, One 90 none have Tuuk Customs as standard because the new holders are in some way better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fire0nIce228 1 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 You want to change holders without trying the LSP2's just because most pro's dont use them?Even though I am noticing some with LSP's on their skates more and more.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingjames23rulz 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 no i have tried the LSP's but did not like the feel at all and have used custom + and LS2's my whole life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cougarscaptain87 12 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 like everyone is saying, its all personal. but in my opinion, i feel like i get more push off and top speed with my lightspeeds, but i definalty feel more stable on my custom + holders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BGM 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 It's all personal preference as it's been discussed many times. I've been skating in Tuuk Customs for 25 years. I had XXs and currently in XXXs and both times changed out the Lightspeeds on them to Custom+ --I don't like the extra height on the LS's--they are 2mm higher than Custom+ in front and back.
