When the Synergy skate will hit the market?

[cobrAA 0]

hello,

I know edge(if my memory serve me) and Ryan tryed the Synergy skate...

I all ready got my holder which is T'blades(I love them) so I don't care if the blade is shit :P

I'm more into CCM (since I never wear something else then ccm) maybe Vector PRO or Pro tack...but last night i thinked at the Synergy skate(everybody said there ultra light and with t'blade with would be crazy!)

So...my question is when the synergy skate will be up?? or if you guys have other sugestion...beside vector and pro tack

P.s: I can't wear bauer vapor XX (they don't fit my feet) and for people who whant to know about my stat...i am wearing 1152('02) with t blade and I play bantam AA(5 hours per week)

Thanks for your help guys! :D

What I usually tell customers is that if you have success with a certain skate, then stick with it.

Plus it's gonna be a bitch putting rivets into that graphite holder unless you have a pneumatic riveter...

with the synergy skate from the sample we have it has bags you put them in ;)

Remember,

Just because a skate is light, doesn't make it the greatest thing since sliced bread. A skate that fits your foot will make you perform better.

In no way am I saying the Easton skate is bad. I am saying, make sure you try it on and it fits as well or better than your current skates.

Weight isn't everything...

Yes, it is important, but fit it much more important...

I am very jealous of people that can stick with a skate.. still searching for that magic skate that "works" for me... :)

also on the graphite situation... all the guys around here are scared to death of the synergy skate as far as people potentially wanting new holders. I can't say I blame them at all, would you want to fubar a $500 pair of skates because of a bad rivet or drilljob? yipes...

Well, at least brands...

I've made kids cry when they have this monstrous foot and want to get Vapor XXs...

The lhs I go to has a Oct 1 ship date. I hope that is true because I need a pair of skates soon.

yeah ive had a couple kids whine when they want the XX skate or a si-core grip and they cant because there foot doesnt fit it properly and its too stiff for them

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

I get them to CRY! Cuz I'm a dick like that...

What do you mean they come in bags?

They can be drilled, no problem. QUestion is the rivets. I honestly wouldn't know unless I experiment - theoretically I can find an old pair of skates and reverse-rivet them and see if it will hold. Hmm, something to do today...

You guys are absolutely crazy, dropping $500.00 on skates. Changing skates is not going to make you skate faster or turn quicker. The best skater on my team wears CCM 652 Tacks he bought on a closeout. No matter how expensive a skate I buy, I will never be as good a skater as him.

I'm with Justin, find a good fitting skate and stick with it.

And I also wouldn't drop all that money on a proto-type inital-run product...

BELIEVE ME, I've tried to find a good fitting skate...

Get a pair of SBX's or Vapors, throw 'em in the oven and then stick them on your feet. Voila, Presto, good fitting skates!

Haha.. I could blow your mind with how much $$ I've dropped on skates in the past two years trying to find ones that fit me right. Let's put it this way, I've tried *every* brand, and several models within...

Kinda hard to tell when you haven't seen his foot...

Exactly, neither fits my foot very well.

?? I guess I'll just consider myself lucky I don't have that problem with skates.

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

No, you probably found one that fits your foot.

COnsider yourself lucky.

I went from Bauer to Easton no problem. It was a bit of adjustment because the Bauer anchors your foot in the ankle and the Easton anchors your foot in the middle, but no bigee. I tried on Grafs and god were those things narrow! It's like one day I went into Kenneth Cole and saw a sick pair of shoes on sale, but when I went to try on my size I couldn't fit the shoe past three toes because it was so narrow. They make their shoes for freaks! I swear....

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Bauer to Easton is not hard...

[Modo9 0]

I know that is what I said!

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

But if you read the initial post, he was going from CCM to Easton...

Geki

if you've gone through so much in the way to find that fit..why not go custom??

I'm seriously considering it, but not sure who to go through. I'm thinking of giving the 8090s a shot after trying them on, they seem very forgiving of my feet. If they don't work out, I don't have much of a choice but to go custom... ;)

If you look anything like the dude in your avatar, I could just imagine what your feet look like! Just Kidding. What do you have, really wide feet? Or are they just an odd shape?
