ccm u+ 09 skate.

Is it just that the 09' has the U foam and the scalloped runner ? Has anyone tried the U+ 09's yet ?

There may be some other differences, but as far as I can tell or have heard the U+ 09 is pretty much the same as the 08 except for the items you mentioned.

Will the u+ 09 fit like the vector 10.0 skates? Will they be as stiff as them too? Thanks.

hey guys, i saw and tried on the U+09's yesterday, and i currently have been using the V08's.....

The U+09's have a significantly stiffer boot and seem the be made a bit stronger. Boot is heavier than the V08 for sure, but seems like quality has gotten better. and like someone mentioned, no rocket runner and regular perforated steel.

[booyaagrandma 4]

Boot is Heavier ? by a lot ? also did you find the heel lock, fit etc. the same between the V08 and the U+ 09 ?

what about the boot exterior, that is where the majority of the problem was. They are suppose to have changed the mesh

seems like the same metal mesh, but stiffer

My understanding is that the new U+ Pro skate that's coming out has a different tongue (pro felt), reworked quarter materials, the scalloped runner instead of the rocket runner and it is a little tighter in the heel. Some of it seems like it's going to a few cheaper options than the original U+ but I'm sure the changes were necessary to correct initial flaws to the skate.

There are actually many changes from the 2008 U+ to the 2009 U+.

I just want to make sure you are talking about the U+ Pro skate, not the U+ 09 model.

2009 U+ Pro Changes:

New felt tongue, still has lace bite protection

New Achilles Tendon Pocket and added foam provides a deeper heel pocket/better heel lock, more comfort - (50% more foam)

Redesigned foam covering top of quarter package to better protect liner edges, (where the U Foam stops and the seam is above the top eyelet)

Exterior is now coated with a layer of surlyn. This adds abrasion resistance, melt strength, and makes you skate faster...

Also, as mentioned, it does not come stock with the Rocket Runner.

These changes did add a few grams, but some of it can be gained back if you purchase an aftermarket Rocket Runner.

In exchange for the few extra grams CCM added, the skate overall is a much better product.

There will be an increase in comfort and durability over the 2008 U+ Pro.

I was actually hoping to get info on the ccm u+ 09 skate not the u+ pro.

The U+ 09's seem like they are much better quality than last year's V08's. My v08's died after a 6 months....i warrantied them and CCM gave me U+ Pro's...

Now there is a HUGE difference between the U+ pro and last years U+. exactly what hockey1933 said.

For the U+09 i would definitely recommend that skate at that price. I loved my V08's but they had durability issues....the U+ 09 comes with scallopped steel *(much better) and a stiffer boot. Tongue and liner is the exact same is last years V08.
