My 12.2 single break pre curved thigh rise is amazing. True just didn't have it on their online customizer as an option due to an error. But it was on the PDF for the Catalyst PX3. They've told me it's been fixed and they will have it on my new set

@@stonecoldpm5k huh. My understanding is that beefed it up. Guess you'll see when you get them.

7/16th's

I ended up sticking with my Bauer Pro skates (laces) just couldnt get used to these.

Bought mine when they first came out. Came from Bauer fit 2 9.5. There were some issues with the bottom straps, but Bauer shipped replacements free of charge. To date I’ve skated on them about 3 times a week and I love them. I love the consistent fit.

@@nashou1216 thanks :)

They definitely take some getting used to if you're used to a softer thigh rise

Just delt with my True rep today. They are making me new pads with the old 12.2 thigh rise. It's call "thick mid stiff" in the Catalyst PX3 PDF. If indeed it mimics my 12.2 then yes they will, over time, have bend to them. TBD when they come in. But by spec my new ones should be just like my 12.2.

I had no idea it would be stiff like a diving board

2.5"

There's a little adjustment period going into new two piece skates. True one piece skate are likely closest to what you have but the boot fits much different then a Bauer. I personally love the two piece skate you can get a much deeper angle for pucks in tight. Bauer Pros are my favorite

Appreciate feedback. Assume the skates are going to be way stiffer than I am currently use to. Is the stiffness of the skate needed or is it not based on the style of play if you need a stiffer boot compared to softer boot? Or is it mainly a protection thing so you want a stiffer boot since you no longer have a cowling for protection? Someone told me once of your not sure go with a step down so not as stiff i.e. Elite vs Pro, not sure if that is good advice or not.

@@DonnieKluck the Pro to Elite is just going from a senior skate to an intermediate skate. More expensive the skate, better materials, better protection. Just depends on what level you play. I always push for the best gear for the best protection. All skates start somewhat stuff. But bake them at your local shop a few times and they conform to your foot. Nice and cozy

​@@stonecoldpm5kthanks appreciate it. Yeah I am in the same mindset with getting the best gear at the time (to some degree) mainly just because I keep it forever so better in the long run. Thanks one the tip and suggestions.

Had a couple other thoughts last night and figured I would get your opinion as well. What is your take on the cowling-less goal skates these days? I think that will be one of the biggest changes for me once I go to a new skate. Along with the height of the skates off the ice (based on the towers used these days) looks a lot more than I am use to, is that going to be a huge change and be difficult to get use to? For goalie skates do you want them to fit so your toe is just barely touching/kissing the toe cap or a little more room? I tried the Bauer 3D scan and it said 8 but I am in 8.5 now, I tried on a size 8 and it fit but definitely didn't have as much room between toe and skate like I do in my old skates. Like the 8 was like where my toe was barely brushing the toe cap where the 8.5 is like I have a little more room kind of like when I buy running shoes. Not sure if it matters and is a personal preference or if I should size it more like my running shoes like I have currently.

You would either need to cut out the vinyl wrap to leave room for the stickers. Or try and take the stickers off and place back on after the wrap has been installed

@@stonecoldpm5k ok thanks because the Canadien registration sticker is right In the way I don’t plan on playing in Canada anytime soon but just in case thanks again.

I am having this same issue. I haven't baked mine yet or swapped the stock laces for wax, but I feel like I still won't have ankle support (Tightness) what did you go with instead?

@@KeeblurD If you mean in regards to the Bauer Pro's? I returned those skates many moons ago. I'm in True 2 piece customs now.

@@nabby5030 gotcha! yeah I just had the Bauer pros fit 3 arrive today and everything fits ok but the ankle support seems super loose. I feel like I am going to roll my ankles in these. Maybe they will be better once I bake them. I dunno

@@KeeblurD Baking always helps but that is basically the issue I had with them. I ended up not keeping them mostly due to the arch pain was terrible for me.

@@KeeblurDI have the Bauer elites fit 3 for my wide foot. Coming from vapor x900’s the shorter and wider ankle on the pro’s/elites is a lot looser and I hate it. After baking and using for a year I feel like I don’t have the same ankle support as the old vapors. Great skates but it feels loose and like I’m swimming due to the wide ankle. Not a fan personally

Would love to try those next!

You don't even notice the neck guard when it's on. Very very comfortable. No overheating. I did stock 1.5" but I have had 2" before and had no issues. Amazing product

I was thinking of going the 2”, a nice in between being high enough for coverage without sacrificing mobility. What made you go shorter this time around compared to your last custom one? To be honest I watched your last video on your last custom one and those those two look quite similar in height.

@@njdevils300 they are very similar almost unnoticeable when they're on. For more peace of mind get the 2" for safety. You really won't notice a difference.

Shop just got them in a few weeks ago

​@@stonecoldpm5kwhere is the shop and whats it called?

@@goaliegamer0810 hockeywolf in Seattle

​@@stonecoldpm5kyou are there the new model? Sorry for the questions but just want to make sure

​@@stonecoldpm5kyou sure *

I have my toe quite heavily separated on my Vapor 2X Pro. Had to seal the crack somehow, but it still holds together and works. Thinking of these or Konekt as the next pair. Btw, it would be fine if Bauer could reshape the holder a bit, to have laces/strings further beyond the contact area...

@@pipeform had this exact problem with my 2x pros, local repair shops wouldnt touch em so i ended up getting new wheels

U15 kid broke a toe cap off a shot. Bought 2 used ones, the toe caps were broken. The lightness comes at a cost. Also, yes, repair shops won't touch em.

They are great skates! Lightest on the market

No profile, just a 7/16" sharpening

I came from a 34+2 in Vaughn and 33+3 for me worked great. True has a size chart on their website that works great if you can measure ankle to knee

Thanks! Great question. They have not mentioned either way about utilizing the artwork for other orders. However since they created the art with their design team for me. They would be free to use. I'm certain if you have made the art and make it clear to them they would not be able to sell it otherwise. The team I worked with was great!

@@stonecoldpm5k Thank you again, I'll reach out to them to confirm! One last question, did they show a 3D rendering of the finished design before you mailed it in or was it on a template view with various sides of the mask displayed?

@@kikicochrane it was a template view of front, left and right. Also backplate. No 3D view.

@@stonecoldpm5k Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help and insight!

Going to try to use a super glue of sorts to keep the decal down. I will report back!
