tuuk custom plus vs tuuk lightspeed

[espejo09 0]

Just ordered a pair of pro stock wheels and they have tuuk custom plus's on em and they are a size bigger then what they normally are…how would you compare them to regular sized tuuk lightspeeds?

[TBLfan 25]

In a word; Spongy.

[swede 50]

yes, as TBLfan said, they ara alot softer and flex more during skating than Lightspeed does..

The Custom+ holder is also 3mm lower than the Lightspeed holder.

is it hard to get used to?? ive always skated on tuuk lightspeeds

[swede 50]

it´s totally individual.. But it will surely be harder than going the oposite way. The first couple of times you skate with the custom+ you´ll get the spongy feeling that TBLfan was talking about. But you will get used to it..

i went from Easton Razor bladzII on my Easton SBX skates to custom+ with heel lifts. Took a couple of hours before i were totally used to the spongy somewhat softer response from the holder..

On the bright side, no need to drill to install Pitch3 :)

Why do some many Pro's use Custom+ ?

I just put a pair on my S15's because I like to skate more on my heels.

custom+ and LS2 have different mounting patterns.

true or false?

[TBLfan 25]

True.

If I recall wasn't there a weight thing about getting that spongy/springy feeling on the tuuk customs +? hmm..

I have the Lighspeeds on my new skates and custom plus on my old skates and when I go to tournaments I bring both sets in case something happens to one set and the difference doesn't throw me off from switching from skate to skate, but I have them profiled the same and that helps alot. I like the height of the lighspeeds for turning sharply, but that's about it.

A softer holder flex more when the player is heavier, so yes!

A player with powerfull skating/strong legs will definitly have benefits with Lightspeed's

Heavier players will get more benefit for sure from Lightspeeds where as lighter players I would think wouldn't. It takes more effort for a lighter player to get full responsiveness of LS's vs. Custom+. For pure straight away speed I think the LSs are better---but agility wise I like the Custom+ as you get more bounce + you are lower to the ground with Custom+.

Overall like all the above stated you can go back n forth saying the benefits of both holders, but from a style point of view the custom + look so classy! I got a pair of on some pro stock z airs and love em. Ls2 are good but If was adding some Tuuk holders to a skate it would be custom + for sure. Thats me. B)
