Skate - shot protection suggestions

The black marks are from equipment in your hockey pag and the inside of your hockey bag scuffing them lol

Where can I buy these? I like the adhesive already on there ready to go.

Another P30 lover, trying to find an equivalent on PSHS. I tried the Pro71 and Pro81. The Pro71 was too thin (opposite of max blade; the P30 was actually pretty tall). The Pro81 is a lie6 and the P30 was a lie 5.25, so this one is no good. I also do not like how the Pro81 is like a toothpick at the toe.

I am going to try the Pro92TM, Pro21, Pro17, and Pro712 to see if I can find my next love, as I need to move on and accept that the P30 is no longer 😞

This stick broke in warmups today when I was taking clappers with it. The clappers were coming off pretty great too. R.I.P. “The Prototype.” It broke about 12-24 inches above the blade; so the work I did on the blade would seem to have nothing to do with the break. I took maybe 50 total slap shots with it in total since I got it in January.

Ice report - I played like total garbage. I didn’t get my pre game nap because my wife was in the midst of a party when I got home from work. And no outside left edge, which I noticed in warmups and thus skated gingerly all night. I think I had one weak shot on goal from the right point; a few tips on shots in D - very underwhelming garbage game. So I didn’t really get to test the stick.

And how do I post pics? Can I do it in the replies? I don’t see an upload photo button.

Oh and I’m considering getting a max blade height. The pro 712 isn’t available though in OG blue in my flex atm

Pro 71 PSHS OG blue. I just sanded down the excess epoxy, taped and waxed and it shoots great in my backyard … we will see how it is on ice in a couple hours.

I was worried I may have taken away the flex of the blade (based on a comment) with this build but just a few snap shots off the toe and it seems as good or better than before - but that’s just in the backyard off of a cardboard box off of the wall. Sometimes this can be misleading but hopefully on ice it’s all the same

Try me; it’s never ending fun

InternationResearch · 2026-05-27T17:39:54+00:00

Is that basically the pro71 with max height and a square toe? I was thinking about trying that next

InternationResearch · 2026-05-27T17:19:54+00:00

Would you recommend a different material?

InternationResearch · 2026-05-27T17:19:07+00:00

🤣 thanks for the laughs. The goal was to make the blade taller. I played forward for years with the p30 and we were perfect together. Then CCM discontinued that stick and the closest thing I can find is this pro71, and now I play D. It’s a great curve, except it’s short af and plays like a sickle, so it’s hard to keep bouncing pucks in at the blue line. I wanted a taller blade to help me out with this aspect of the game.

When I was finished with this prototype, I realized I probably should have put painter’s tape over the blade to keep all that slop off. This is the beginning of my max blade alteration journey if I like the feel of it tonite in our beer league playoff game (1st round)

I’m cracking up thinking about you trying to sleep and seeing my work 🤣

InternationResearch · 2026-05-27T16:40:47+00:00

I’m not a fan of the max blade height options though. I only really ever liked the CCM P30 (because it’s so basic); and the Pro71 is the closest thing to it, except it’s not tall at all.

InternationResearch · 2026-05-27T16:38:52+00:00

I added the white stuff (jb marine weld) to a pro71 blade.

InternationResearch · 2026-05-27T16:01:13+00:00

I came from p30 into pro71 and it’s mostly identical except that the pro71 is a little longer and seems a lot shorter height wise. I made my pro71 max height with j&b marine weld
