IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted December 8, 2014 Have you tried a Sherwood 75 flex? I have a 75 flex EK15 and find it to be too soft for my liking and I like 75 flex sticks.Still too much since I'd need to cut it down. Doesn't matter anyway :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deh39 14 Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Have you tried a Sherwood 75 flex? I have a 75 flex EK15 and find it to be too soft for my liking and I like 75 flex sticks.I found the exact opposite to be true... I found the EK15 to play really stiff for its rated flex, even compared to a ribcore in the same flex, which was supposed to feel super stiff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Agreed. The 75 EK15 I had felt like an 85-87. No thanks. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjpisat 36 Report post Posted December 9, 2014 I have makos now which fit ok, but the only bauer I like (just trying on) are the nexus. My foot is small length wise, size 6, but normal width and arch. The other bauers at that size are just too shallow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icewalker_bg 126 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 Surprised like the nexus and you can fit in the mako, its maybe the shallowest retail skate on the market Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjpisat 36 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 I don't pass the pencil test in makos supreme or vapor but doesn't bother me in the mako. Not sure why 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icewalker_bg 126 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 I know some would say that the pencil test is important. I am not sure that applies to the makos. I consider myself having a low volume, skinny foot, never experienced any lacebite.... Still I don't pass the pencil test on my makos, and it doesn't bother me at all either.

IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 Yeah I've heard a lot of people say that too in the last 844 pages. Seems to be irrelevant for these skates. I'd guess because they wrap the foot so well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enis750 48 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) New CCM V10 lid, Bauer HDO Pro clip visor, white Bauer loops & strap Didn't love it after one skate, but it seems to be fitting better after a few skates nowSaw the Pens w white loops and straps the other night in their retro 3rd's and liked the look Edited December 10, 2014 by enis750 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boostinmister2 16 Report post Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Just got my custom shoulder pads back from bayareahockeyrepair.com (highly recommended for any custom work on hockey gear, repairs and glove repalms). Essan does amazing work with great turnaround time.I love how light the CCM CL shoulders are but hated how big the caps were (linebacker status), so I had Essan swap them out with some smaller Bauer Vapor caps. Now they're the perfect lightweight low profile shoulder pad I've been looking for!Finally came around to taking a quick shot of all my gear:New items: Bauer MX3 skates (Decided to switch from Vapor APX2's to these and so glad I did! So much more lighter, love the lace lock system and the back calf flex!)Pro-stock Warrior Projekt Elbow pads (Seriously the most comfortable elbows on the market that actually stay in place)Pro-stock San Jose Shark Easton gloves (Dan Boyle) Edited December 13, 2014 by Boostinmister2 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B1scu1t 15 Report post Posted December 16, 2014 Christmas came a few days early to me thanks to Sherwood and Total Hockey. Have loved my EK15 from the day I picked it up and now I can't wait to hit the ice tomorrow with the vintage version. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
