FT6 Pro gear drop!

Has anyone done a weight comparison between the ft6 and ft6 pro shin pads?

Noticed that some FT6 Pro skates appear to have visible carbon fiber and others do not. Is there a reason behind this? Was visible carbon for prototype or custom versions?

Example of exposed carbon. Non visible carbon was shown on the previous page

May have found an answer to my own question. Could US skates with the lower flex rating (195) be black and Euro skates with a higher flex rating (215) be exposed carbon? Lines up with these UK skates on eBay and those featured on hockey tutorial’s YT channel and other European outlets

I also have seen the FT6 Pro skate in person, no exposed carbon is visible. I think only the custom option will have exposed carbon. Such a shame, since they look so good! 

@VegasHockey  Question for you.......I recall a post you made year or so ago, where you talked about the new ASV Skate line and the new skate last / moulds compared to the the Ribcors.  More specifically, I think you said you were a regular width 9.5 in the 100k Pro's, but were a 9.0 tapered in the ASV's.   Where do you stand with the FT6 Pro's?  Are they more voluminous like the ASV's or are they less, more so like the 100K pro's?  For reference, I am in 100k Pro's now and felt the exact same thing you did.  I too had to go a half size smaller and down to the tapered when trying out the ASV's.  I opted for the 100k's bc they were not as stiff, and went a half size up and chose the regular width for the perfect fit compared to the ASV's

Normally a 7.5 regular, in the FT6 Pro I wear a 7.0 Tapered. The changes to the new skate last has made them fit overall bigger.

Does anyone know why none of the big retail stores have FT6 Pro skates tapered fit in stock? I usually wore Bauer Fit 2 or CCM Regular in the past and would love to try the tapered fit in store. So far I'm only seeing IW and CCM website have them in stock

Because most of the stores did a terrible job with booking orders....

uhmmmmmmmmmmmm, how did you get yours with the carbon fiber showing?  To the understanding of many here, the north american models don't show the carbon fiber on the retail skates.

Just lucky, I guess. 

Kidding aside, I just got back from Sweden, where I work with the top skating/skills group there and I also work with Marsblade. They had a nice present waiting for me when I arrived in Stockholm. I asked and they told me this carbon version is only available in Europe.  Also, if you haven't tried the Marsblade I2, you're missing out. So good.

I think the European model is stiffer and the build is closed to an AS-V Pro, thus the exposed carbon.

Has anyone used the Jetspeed 485 or 680 shoulder pads? Any strong opinions?
