bthompson1286 7 Report post Posted Thursday at 02:27 AM (edited) Does anyone know what pitch the CXN holder was? I have a pair of makos on their last legs and found a pair of buy online but want to keep the pitch the same with new non Easton holders. Also I hate every other skate on the market currently. I have other skates that are decent but the mako is the best. I’ve tried true and absolutely hated them. The mako is the skate. Really wish Bauer didn’t suck and wish they never bought Easton. If Mako went back on the market, they probably would sell great again. It was the durability that did them in.

That’s why I’m looking for the same pitch but a different holder. I can achieve the pitch with profiling. The following Data is according to ChatGPT.

flip12 729 Report post Posted Saturday at 08:17 PM (edited) Some of the CXN pitch came from the stock steel as well according to Icehockey360.ru: https://icehockey360.ru/baza-znanij/geometricheskie-parametry-stakanov/ I don't know if it's just me but his pitch percentages don't translate to what I feel on the ice. CXN's pitch is supposed to be the same as True Shift's. True Shift didn't feel at all forward to me (although I know to many it does). CXN felt more like skating on Cobras, but they're significantly less pitched according to his measurements. My current set up is LS2 with the steel pitched by shifting the balance point back 20mm, which is standard on most Prosharp profiles if I'm not mistaken. The +1 makes it feel much better. I'm thinking of trying +2 next. My guess is +2 might feel more like the CXN or Cobra feel I prefer. Edited Saturday at 08:19 PM by flip12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2100 Report post Posted yesterday at 12:07 PM I always had my CXN steel profiled with a negative pitch to compensate for how forward they were. It was way too much for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
