Skates: Bauer 2S Pro Vs Ultra Sonic

[TheGoalNet]

- lighter 

- more volume / depth 

- composite wrap around heel cup 

- new tongue 

- symmetrical angle now 

- Better attack angle on toe

I don't put much trust in new tongue on Ultrasonic against lace bite. Other than that very impresive skates. I was trying them on but they didn't fit me very well and ended up with Vapors.

Lace bite is a function of fit. If you skates fit properly, you will greatly minimize your chances at lace bit.

While a possible and the most likely cause, it is not the only one. Lace bite can also be the result of poor, no, or too much tongue flexibility relative to the flexibility or inflexibility of the boot. The mechanical influence of the tongue and boot are not static; As one thing changes, so does the other. Also, lace bite can result from the tongue or the boot breaking down too rapidly, likely due to moisture retention of either, although both scenarios seem to be much less likely than in days of yore.

Can you describe further:

• Where is the symmetry?
• Where is the added volume
• Attack angle on toe is simply due to them ditching the giant toe box?

Symmetry - look at the picture at the picture of the ankle area. Inside and outside edge are level in US. 2S pro had a high and low side

Volume - Look at the weird vertical angle of the eyelits. you see how much extra material there is.

Attack angle - Yes, the new toe box is more steamlined
