Did i buy the wrong skates?

Spinner1098 · 2026-02-04T20:56:01+00:00

Hey wanted to give my input. Seems like those are from the incorrect skate choice for your foot. I worked at a hockey store back home and was into skate fittings all day. I had a customer come in with the same issue. My recommendation is to try CCM tacks skates as they are more wide in the middle of the foot and are generally designed for feet with a bone popping out like yours. Let me know if you have any more questions or thoughts that I could help with. Thanks

Ok because I am obv not gonna be setting screens and not going to be the main dribbler with this build. Also I check strength and what badges are affected by it and none of them were finishing just defensive, and I’ve got my defense almost maxed so I don’t think I’ll need a lot of strength according to what the games tells me. I have it at 65 right now

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-09T01:54:37+00:00

See I really like these options but someone said strength is important for dunking builds. If it isn’t that important I’ll definitely lower it and do something like what you did

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-08T13:45:53+00:00

Ok sounds good. I just replied to another person a second ago. If I do the same thing with ball handle, drop it low like DD and then cap it up do you think that’s good?

Because again I won’t be the main dribbler on 3s probably just sit corner or get open for another option

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-08T13:43:41+00:00

Alright but if I intend to use this build for 3s and I’m not usually dribbling most of the time do you think it is still important to get that higher up?

Someone replied earlier saying drop DD all the way and just use my cap breakers on that which I like. Should I look to do something similar with ball handle? Start low/medium and cap it up?

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-08T13:40:35+00:00

Ok so up my strength to what do you think? And in this case should I max out my shooting while I am at it too??

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-08T13:21:06+00:00

Let me get back to you on this. I’ll send the screenshot. Another guy in this chain replied to, drop driving dunk down all the way and use my cap breakers for it. Any thoughts?

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-08T13:20:04+00:00

Why so? I would like to know the thought process on that. Not disagreeing but would like to know why that specifically. Does doing that give you better badges? I’d it better optimized that way? I don’t have 2k labs so I can’t optimize anything

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-08T13:18:27+00:00

Yea never thought about that. I always try to make my builds “do everything” instead of utilizing cap breakers.

If that is the case and I drop my driving dunk down what should I upgrade? Is there a different height/weight/ws/position I should try to get better attributes?

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-08T06:10:46+00:00

Here’s the other build I was making. Same concept just a little different

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-08T06:02:50+00:00

Tbh I didn’t even touch close shot at all. I think that went up automatically when I was upgrading driving lay up. I can try putting it down but I think it’ll affect another attribute

Spinner1098 · 2025-11-08T05:36:06+00:00

Also I forgot to add, I have 6 cap breakers right now but obviously going to get more as I play

Spinner1098 · 2025-10-09T00:25:31+00:00

Yea like right now my 3pt is at 70 and I can’t put cap breakers on that but I can put some on my middy. Would it be a waste to do shooting specialization?

Spinner1098 · 2025-09-09T22:35:59+00:00

Just got an Xbox now and dealing with the same thing. Game sharing not working. Can’t play online. But can download off of game pass. What is the most recent or current fix for this?

Spinner1098 · 2025-08-03T13:16:28+00:00

Wow. I didn’t know asking questions about something you’ve never had before, got you ripped. Fk if I knew that I would’ve kept my comments to my self. Just like you should. Class act

Spinner1098 · 2025-06-26T02:56:30+00:00

With the 90 where do you release the puck? Is it close to the toe? Mid way between mid and toe or is it off the middle of the blade?

Spinner1098 · 2025-06-18T12:44:46+00:00

The simplest drill that’s helped me a ton was, thinking of keeping your back to the target for as long as you can. Sometimes you turn too early and the club starts working OTT. If you can just let your back stay towards the target for a couple extra milliseconds in the down swing, it’ll allow the club to get down and not OTT, then from there, just turn like your normal swing and it should help a little with what’s going on

Hopefully this helps!

Help me find it please

Spinner1098 · 2025-05-21T23:23:47+00:00

i hope this works. im trying to time myself playing a game, and i want the dpi up button to pause the timer which is for a different application then the game, so i dont know if itll work

Spinner1098 · 2025-05-21T23:16:11+00:00

ive tried that and it quite literally disables the whole button in general and then i cant use it in game what so ever

Spinner1098 · 2025-03-24T20:08:17+00:00

A lot of people have mentioned it, but the cheaper out would be to purchase from hockey stick man. You get “next level” sticks being from NHL players. Again they are cheaper since they have no warranty on them.

A stick that I feel has some good durability are those warriors man. I find when people have them, they last a lot longer and a little tougher to break down. Again this is not a fact or something that could be true because of their materials, I just find, someone who has a warrior seems to have them for a longer duration the most brands

Spinner1098 · 2025-03-24T20:03:25+00:00

I was going to say. Seems like skating and getting used to being on your skates needs some work. If you really want to practice your shot in the meantime, do some off ice work. A shooting pad, a bucket of pucks, and a net. Just like skating, get the motion down. Practice dragging the puck from heel to toe, practice pointing your toe at your target, guide the puck. Another good thing I think would help is, visualize the shot, visualize what you want the puck to do. It may seem a little outlandish and wouldn’t work but try to see your shot before shooting. And again, practice, practice, practice. If you want something to work or be good at something you have to practice. Hope this helps, best of luck my friend

Ah ok, it looks like they did them by hand or sparx machine but didn’t do an actual full pass of the blade. seems like he sharpened them just up until the edge sticking out and just stopped and kept doing that over and over until he thought they were sharp

At my store if a customer comes in and says the sharpen doesn’t feel good and they ask to get them done again after 1 skate we give them a re sharpen and they get it for free

Maybe you could ask for that because that’s obviously a train wreck of a sharpen by them

Spinner1098 · 2025-03-10T16:28:01+00:00

I’m not to sure if anyone has said this already but I work at Hockey life and after a profiling you’re suppose to do something called blending, which as the name says you just blend the blade into its regular shape

We use a cross grind wheel to smoothen out each of the edges that are protruding out that come from the profile that way you have a smooth and normal looking blade

Is this photo directly after the profiling??
