aal 3 Report post Posted November 3, 2008 Just curious if people don't like the e-pros because of looks, or is it performance. I agree the tuuk's look better. Not sure about performance, other than maybe personal preference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nealoc187 10 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 Recent skate pick up- Pro stock Micron Air 90'sI know it's a post that's almost 2 months old but I just wanted to say 'nice pick up' on those Air90s. I picked two pairs of Air90s and some 10-90 red stripes w/ V2s on them myself last year off ebay. I'll never need to buy skates again heh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 Happy Halloween!Who picked up those Minn 5-rolls? I want to compare them to my Minn 5-rolls. Obviously, those are leather with a different cuff and cuff roll and different script. I believe mine aren't Mission-made but I want to compare anyway.

raygunpk 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Sharpening my skates and saw this Vapor XXXX Samonov prostock I couldn't pass up. Such a beautiful curve.I compared the lie to a PM9 in the store and it was actually lower, so I'll see if that affects me much. That last pic is my Naslund placed directly on top of it...seems pretty big in difference!There is no big 12k weave pattern at the top of the shaft or the bottom just before the blade. You see those thick squares on the retail and other prostock XXXX's, so hope this one isn't less durable or anything..

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 Lie looks lower than what I remember. What's the flex? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustpot 1 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 Nasty low lie, but a great pick for sure. Go back for more if you end up liking it before a member here finds out where you got it and cleans them out. At least you're safe from TBL, he's a tall lie guy IIRC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least you're safe from TBL, he's a tall lie guy IIRC.Not really, just 6'1. But low lies are tough. I don't recall him using more than a 100 flex stick but at that low of a lie, I'd need about a 62" stick, over the 57" I'm using... Trust me, I thought about it. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raygunpk 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 87 flex on this one. I've never used any lie this low before...any tips? hahaha.This stick is about an inch more than the retail length. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cove 38 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 the 9500's in the show seem to have HUGE ear holes, may seem that way because of no plastic and the way they are set to fit but holy they seem massive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
