Jbear 113 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 I'm in AS3 Pro's and love them. I'm skating 5-6 days a week and I used to alternate with 2xPro's which were a touch narrow but...with baking and punching worked fairly well. I sold them as I thought one pair would be fine. Well...I miss alternating with a more flexible skate (double hip replacement...less stress). My question is...before I just go after another pair of 2xPro's with a fit 2, should I consider True TF9's? If so...what size (7.5D AS3 Pro's fit like a second skin). Alternatively, would it be smarter to wait for an FT4 or 100k? If I do that I can share steel with my current skates but that's not essential. Looking forward to hearing your take on things. Sidebar: I still have my 1977 Super Tacks (from college), Supreme Comp 1000's and Comp 5000's. Not only did one of these skates weigh almost as much as a pair of these new ones but they were wet all season! Technology isn't always good, but hockey technology often is 🇨🇦🥅🏒👍😎 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Westside 232 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 I, personally, prefer the same boot. One less thing to have to adjust to. That said, I also picked up a pair of TF9’s a few months back and absolutely love them 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbear 113 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 Appreciate the response. I have no issues adjusting but I certainly understand it. How is the flex profile on the Trues? How do you find the fit compared to CCM and Bauer. I have seen the video about the fit issues, but I've also heard others say they are the same as the others. Interested in your take. I'm thinking perhaps since I liked the 2xPros that with a Fit 2 now available...might be a good idea. I do hate those injected eyelets but I can bore them out.

Westside 232 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 For me they're just as stiff as my Bauers, but am not prohibited with forward flex. I do tie them looser than I do Bauers due to how snug they fit, but still lace up to the top eyelet. For fit, I went down 0.5 size from Bauer and while they were uncomfortable and didn't fit pre-bake, post bake they fit like comfortable sneakers. Zero issues with any hot spots or discomfort from day 1 for me. Maybe I got lucky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbear 113 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) If I could try them I'd definitely consider it. I decided to go with another pair of 2xPros. The only thing I did not care for was the narrowness, but now there's the "Fit 2" option. I think they'll be perfect. I would wait for the new 100K but I have four 1 week-long camps coming up @ 6 hours a day coaching plus 2x games of my own per week. I need another ride now🤣 Edited May 7, 2021 by Jbear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
