More Forward Flex.... Bauer Supreme or CCM JetSpeed?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone knew which skate has more forward flex? Looking at both a 190 Supreme and a JetSpeed skate side by side, it appears that the 190 has more forward lean from the back of the boot. The JetSpeed has a forward flex of 13 degrees but I can't get the Bauer Supreme info on forward flex.

I'm not sure if you're asking about flex or pitch...

If you're asking about a forward pitch, I'd have to say the jetspeed.

My kid demo'd the JetSpeeds and found that he felt like he was always falling backwards. I know he is getting that feeling because he is used to a Mako with a 9/10 profile. I looked at both the JetSpeed and the Bauer 190 skate side by side and thought the back of the Supreme boot appeared to have more of a forward angle than the JetSpeed so thought it would maybe be better for pitch and forward flex.

Orr, I felt the same way my first time out with them. It's a noticeable difference even between JetSpeed's & RibCor's, JetSpeeds really put me back on my heels but I was able to adjust after a few minutes.

Have we concluded OP is asking about pitch?
