Miller55 333 Report post Posted April 6, 2021 I've tried the True tf7 roller. I like them very much. What I will say is that they are very fast, very comfortable and very well designed and engineered skates. The things I don't like are the look, the plastic materials that look cheap and feel cheap, and the tf7 tongue. But the performance is amazing. For comparisons sake, they are priced the same as the Mission FZ3s. The missions are tpu skates with cheap composite quarters and a plastic outsole. These are a one piece fiberglass boot at the same price. No contest, the tf7s are the winner. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I flared the top few eyelets and the boot is definitely not stuff enough that I can't pull that area in when I tie them. But I laced one hole down and they're fairly low cut from what I'm used to (2S pros) plus being less stiff. I'm definitely a fan of the flexibility Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leif 161 Report post Posted February 13 Do these have the same forward pitch as the equivalent ice skates? I assume the boots are almost identical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leif 161 Report post Posted Friday at 08:28 PM I picked up a pair of TF9 rollers a couple of days ago, and tried them out today for half an hour on a local outdoor basketball court. The surface is small stones in bitumen packed flat. I put some old wheels and bearings on, to keep the originals for indoor hockey. They felt very similar to my Bauer Vapor X2.9 skates, but with a far better and more comfortable fit. They are almost like slippers. I shimmed the outside facings when heat moulding. I still have a very sore ankle from skating in the Bauers a week ago. When doing crossovers in the Bauers, it felt like something was flexing. The Trues don’t have that sensation. These can still be picked up for the price of mid range roller hockey skates, a bargain IMO. I still far prefer ice, as falling on tarmac, even with body armour, can hurt. Does anyone have ideas on how to protect them from abrasions when skating on hard surfaces? My Bauers got some bad road rash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
