#386216 New Kovalchuk Curve on Other Sticks

Posted by Golden Gate Sharpening on 06 June 2023 - 06:12 PM in Hockey Gear

It's got way more toe than the P28. Way more. I also went from P28 to this, and it's my favorite curve I've ever used. Blade durability on these from PSHS is top notch, I've broken three this year, none on the blade, not even so much as a crack or gone soft yet. Highly recommended.

 

This is exactly what I was going to say. The PRO sticks are my favorite sticks, regardless of brand. They may not have the same technology as a $350 stick from Bauer or CCM, but I feel like having custom specs tailored to my liking is more important, especially in beer league.

 

Here are the Kovalchuk and P28 side by side:

#386230 New Kovalchuk Curve on Other Sticks

Posted by Golden Gate Sharpening on 07 June 2023 - 04:37 PM in Hockey Gear

The heels feel very similar. The P28 heel may be slightly more open, but passes feel the same. I like to toe drag and shoot snap shots form the toe, so the new Kovalchuk PP17 is the perfect curve for me. If you're a forward that shoots a lot but wants a little more "oomf" than the P28, you will probably like this curve. It's surprisingly easy to control if you're coming from a P28 or another toe curve. I was using the P28 for about a decade (when it was still called the Kreps curve and only pro stock) before I switched to the PP17, so your results may vary.

Anyone interested in 13" QRE with stock specs? I have three slots available. The last time I checked, they are $280 CAD/$210 USD each. Not sure about shipping or tax. I believe they are taking orders in November.

$1,100 for used Trues that were made for someone else's foot. Why pay that much for new custom True skates for your foot when you can pay the same price for used skates made for someone else's feet? https://www.ebay.com/itm/394681574846

#386305 Powerfly on True SVH Customs

Posted by Golden Gate Sharpening on 13 June 2023 - 09:59 PM in Hockey Gear

I can't speak for Powerfly holders, but had no issues mounting Lightspeed Edge holders on Sharks_Throwaway's SVH skates. https://www.instagra.../p/CnC8IvPyU1O/

 

Since the True holders are symmetrical while the Tuuks are not, some holes will not line up. I recommend epoxying those holes and re-drilling, as well as using thin plastic inserts under the insoles so the rivets can grab on properly.

Posted by Golden Gate Sharpening on 13 June 2023 - 11:40 PM in Hockey Gear

I'd recommend epoxy, especially on Trues with their thin midsoles. I've used this with good results: https://www.acehardw...rc=ds&gclsrc=ds

#386330 True tongue on Ccm FT4 Pro's

Posted by Golden Gate Sharpening on 15 June 2023 - 11:36 AM in Hockey Gear

+1 for putting Powefoot inserts in your skates. I'd skate in them a few times before making any decisions about the tongues. They break in and wrap around your toes after a skate or two. New tongues change the volume of the boot, not the toebox. If you want less volume, I'd get the thick 10mm CCM tongues with black felt. 

 

You can put True tongues on CCM XS boots, but it'd be costly and a lot of work. You'd have two options: 1. Removing the XS inserts from one pair of tongues and sewing them onto the True tongues 2. Removing a pair of XS inserts from a pair of CCM tongues, sewing them onto a piece of velcro, attaching that to the FT4 toebox, then attaching the true tongue to the velcro. I wouldn't recommend either unless you're absolutely dead set on having True tongues on your boots. If you do, you'd need an equipment manager or actual pro skate shop (not Pure Hockey) with knowledge and experience with tongue swaps to do this type of work. 




#386336 True tongue on Ccm FT4 Pro's

Posted by Golden Gate Sharpening on 15 June 2023 - 01:54 PM in Hockey Gear

I can do it at my shop. I've done this mod a few times before, so message me if you're interested. I have a few extra XS inserts that I can sew onto the True tongues so they sit under the toe box.
