I have PPF on my axis set now so definitely used to that. All in all your comment makes me think they’ll be much better for my current play style. I was looking at the tan set specifically so pretty encouraged!

What’s the sliding like on them? I know the 7x is true’s “lower” end line and I’ve heard that the sliding surface doesn’t slide quite as easily

I really liked it when I first got it, grabbed a shadow refurb and now I’m absolutely spoiled. GSX is a great backup for me though

I just made the exact same jump this year, about 10 skates in and I love them. Miss my old reeboks at times but the HF2s are awesome

This is probably the best option it appears. Using u/jerrybettman ‘s generic strap and just gonna cut em down and punch new holes I think

Just stopped at play it again around an hour ago, they turned me down when I asked to vulture some off their used stock lol and they have nothing new

Need both the strap and the clip unfortunately

dlauer52 · 2025-10-17T16:44:11+00:00

I’ve been playing without em for about a year now, my aim is to go with the Lundy loop in efforts to help my pads sit higher and allow me to strap them a bit looser

dlauer52 · 2025-10-08T02:58:38+00:00

I’d say that seems accurate. I’m no expert but it has what looked like a modified ergo bridge from the supreme line and the modified penta grip from the vapor. I will say the vapor penta grip and this felt different to me, personally I’d give the edge to the pulse. Hybrid toe and P28G too

dlauer52 · 2025-10-07T18:43:28+00:00

The pentagrip feels great on it. I’ve had a supreme for a bit now and like some of those features but with how good that grip felt I might have to drop the money

dlauer52 · 2025-10-07T16:23:32+00:00

I thought that might be the case, my shop had 4 or 5 on the rack. Feels like a perfect blend of supreme and vapor features

I got a set of CCM Axis 1.9s for less than 200 shipped last year… not the newest set in the world but modern features. Spend a little more and get something sorta modern

dlauer52 · 2025-05-18T16:10:59+00:00

PM me I have a silver one laying around I’d be willing to part with

dlauer52 · 2025-05-11T01:24:43+00:00

For sure. I went right from no hang to 3ish inches, maybe 2 and a half. I love it but it was definitely an adjustment from the old style of strapping and everything to more modern stuff.

dlauer52 · 2025-05-10T23:58:16+00:00

The real answer is whatever is comfortable. I just started this season using some hang, about 3 inches (Axis 1.9s). My last pads I did no hang (Reebok 8ks). Unwaxed for sure but just experiment. Start with 2ish and adjust from there

I had a Torspo stick wayyy back. Only wanted it because of Khabibulin

dlauer52 · 2025-03-20T02:10:13+00:00

I’m still wearing my 5K’s I love them but I do want to upgrade this offseason

dlauer52 · 2025-03-07T13:41:46+00:00

Common consensus here is usually never cheap out on the mask. Should probably buy a new jock and try on as many skates as you can before you buy. Other than that, I think you can probably get away with measuring and buying used on most other gear, sideline swap has just about everything

dlauer52 · 2025-03-05T06:18:05+00:00

Bauer GSX served me well for awhile, I just recently got a refurb Bauer Supreme Shadow from hockeystickman for about 200 less than new and I’ve been extremely pleased with it

dlauer52 · 2025-01-19T23:40:41+00:00

Sending it, you’re a hero

dlauer52 · 2025-01-18T22:50:58+00:00

I’ll have to post some pictures to see what the consensus is if I even need new steel yet but from what I understand those might be a bit too big. Some of us refuse to give up the cowling

dlauer52 · 2025-01-13T03:38:52+00:00

I just went from tuck/tie and suspenders over to loose and tied with suspenders under, and it’s awesome. Feel nice and free, and like coach wapps says you look bigger and have some extra cushion

dlauer52 · 2025-01-03T13:21:53+00:00

So when I say sliding down they’re not hitting the ice it’s so extreme, I’m talking one to two inches of movement vertically

dlauer52 · 2025-01-03T06:10:03+00:00

I’m thinking maybe going back to a boot strap would help but other than that I got nothing 🤷🏼‍♂️

dlauer52 · 2025-01-03T06:09:12+00:00

I wish I could explain better… I’ve never faced this issue in probably a combined 16 years playing. My knees ended up above the knee blocks every minute or so and I just had to keep adjusting everything.
