Show Off Your True Gear

Stumbled across the True section, thought it could use this thread. 

I've got one A 4.5 and one A 6.0 True goalie stick. I've been very impressed so far, these are the first composite goalie sticks that I've ever had.

Not sure if this counts, but:

Thats a funky grip you got going there!

It's just some extra tape for the ring finger to get extra contact.  I saw Schneider to it years ago, tried it and it stuck.

#BlackTapeBandits - Nice work @Tim_TRUEHockey

Nice pair of skates there @Hills is the fit everything you hoped it would be and how much of a difference does it make over retails skates you have worn?

Oh god those are so sexy.

I won't be able to answer that question until I hin the ice.

When will the review be out?

Realistically an item should be worn at least a couple months before a thorough review is done. We (at our other site) don't allow reviews for items used less than 3 months unless it is specifically a vendor sponsored long-term review.

That makes a lot of sense. Usually you see guys put up reviews and all they do is pull the new gear out of a box. They rarely do a follow up after a length of tome and actual use.

We had some guy who wrote a fucking novel about products that he tried on in the store. He couldn't understand why we'd reject "such a well written review".

Well written but not necessarily accurate, haha.

Sorry, I don't know much about True, but are they the same company that makes VH skates?

Why does it need to be vendor sponsored?

Yes, they bought out VH.

We have a specific section for vendor-sponsored (aka the user gets the item for free from the vendor) reviews, we call "Long-Term Reviews" and often will have posts with initial impressions out of the box, etc. The idea is that the user is expected to check in with regular updates, so it's fine to have multiple posts in the same thread.

For regular reviews, initial impressions and the rest of the review should all be part of one post because those AREN'T "long-term" reviews.

@IPv6Freely - But if someone buys 1X skates, wears them for 3 months, and then posts... that is okay?

Yes? Why wouldn't it be?

Because I misunderstood earlier! I got confused on the vendor sponsored. All clear now

I'll have a bunch of content with them going forward. But the actual review will be in a bit like @IPv6Freely said. Firstly I'll go over why I chose True and how the fitting process works.

Does this count?

Yes- they are under the same umbrella I do believe. It used to be True Temper bicycle frame tubing, as well. Come to think of it, I don’t know if they are even into cycling any longer...
