small feet happen... I'm in 4.5 One95's (but i'm also short as hell)

what size shoe do you wear? is that a significant size down from your shoe size? but hey look at it this way.. you save a helluva lot of money on skates.

brian gionta is 5'5 wears a size 7 shoe and he wears a 5.5.

6.5 dress shoe...

didnt know gionta's skates were that small. but yes, i do reap the rewards on the pricing ;)

[mack 44]

speaking of gionta.. he's the only one i've seen still using the older orange synergy. (is it a new one simply painted to look like a old model? does anyone know what lie/curve he uses? i'm about the same height and am still searching for a good lie/square toed blade.. loved the easton retail shanny)

gionta switches it up, ive seen him use a One90, SL, ST, SE16, and i think even an S17 at one point...he's used that Orange ST on and off, so im just assuming its the same stock, and he is using the same batch, not having new ones painted like old ones. Ive seen his curve, and it reminds me a lot of retail Lidstrom curve, but i think the curve is less open, not 100% though

Other than the profile, it's nothing like a Lidstrom at all. Mid/Mid-toe, not a big curve and a little bit of shovel to it.

When do the new catalouges come out?

[JGraz15 53]

Wow, Getzlaf's skates look awful

I hope that isn't the final retail graphics package.

I think they look to much as the vapors, kinda of a rip off on the whole color scheme

The S17 skate gets the "Ugliest Aesthetics" award in my opinion. I know I'm not the only one who's thinking that way.

[adam14 182]

lol at the robocop skates.

Either someone's got a nasty bit of Haglund's, or Easton really put a profound heel contour in the S17's

+1 someone actually designed a skate uglier than a CCM Vector/U+

[aarondevera 0]

Yeah, and that was a tough task to begin with.

I'm a CCM/RBK user through and through, but I haven't been impressed with any of their skate aesthetics since the last Pro Tacks model. I even OWN a pair of Vector 10.0SE's and a pair of '07 9Ks simply based on FIT.

[DEATHTRON 19]

Getzlaf has the Haglund.

Zach

[adam14 182]

whats the haglund?

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

whats the haglund?

Deformity in your foot, makes your heel look like it's spitting out a golfball.

Those are the final spec. Kid in Canada has a camphone pic of the skate on Facebook.

I think they look atrocious.

im not positive if im allowed to post this, but i just found this website, pretty cool, has a "review" for the new 10k stick and the 8.0.8 Stick too

EDIT: posted before i watched the video, the guy just babbles on about stuff im sure most of us already knew on ModSquad, but its still a good look at both the sticks

Zach

I have it and it sucks.

The guy is definitely talking straight out of his ass. His comment about the 9k not selling because it was green pretty much tells you how reputable he is.

[habsfan87 0]

Yeah they should say store room review or something, as soon as I heard 'I haven't been able to use it on the ice yet" I stopped, I checked out the thermablade video tho, never seen em'

So after ten minutes of him talking about how he is the only schmuck to have it you learn nothing new.

[aarondevera 0]

Well at least we get a bit of a closer look at the products lol.

[tjl_48 0]

I like how he looks up and down the stick to find out what it is.

[millencolin9387 0]

I say that we call the new 8.0.8. stick the Bob stick.

Here yee, here yee.

The material's on that 10k look a lot different than the one's used in the pro stock 10k's that I see weekly

[cougarscaptain87 12]

that guy is a total ass hat, he is clearly reading the product description that is posted right above the camera and stroking the stick at the same time.

[colt45 0]

haha let me remake it clear, i watched the video and the guy just babbles on and crap like that i didnt say i liked it!! haha

still a good look at both sticks though, but for some reason they don't look durable at all to me...

[Blueandgold26 1]

is ovechkin injured? i saw that pic a few pages back about the blue stripe on his one95 but didn't wana quote it
