CCM Vizion skates & the pitch

[SolarWind 23]

There’s a lot of buzz about upcoming Vizion skates and the final product into has emerged online.

looks like CCM is continuing with this trend they’ve introduced with FT8 skates and they are adding a very sizeable (6mm?) shim under the heel?

at least with Vizion it’s on the outside of the skate vs being hidden under the insole in FT8, but removing it would still be a hassle as the shop would need to re-rivet etc

why would CCM do something like that? Sounds like a very drastic change of the pitch which would throw the current uses off especially if they prefer the neutral pitch of the ccm’s boot and XS holder?

I also agree it’s an odd decision. The funniest part to me is how people have been complaining for the last 5 years about the aggressive forward pitch of True skates only for them to neutralize pitch on their latest SVH boot while CCM introduces it. Wonder how many people will complain about it or if the sheep will remain quiet because they’ll claim forward pitch really improves your game…

So is the Vizion line of skates supposed to eliminate one of the existing lines ( Tacks / Jetspeed ) or is this a reintroduction of a third line of skates?  I'm still rocking my Ribcor 100k Pro's that i like so much.
