@WizYuan great review, feel like this forum needed a shot in the arm int he review department lately. I'm in the True 1-piece right now but always interested to hear about the newer stuff out there.

I know you prefaced with "off-ice impressions" but just want to leave you with some follow ups if you get to use them on ice and report back.

1. For the AS3s, how is the energy transfer on pushes? And do they "howl" like the True 1-pieces? It's white noise to me now, but after a fresh sharpening the energy loss on pushes is so minor that you hear that "howl" from the increased friction against the ice. I almost wonder at times if a little "give" and absorption from the riveted holders is a good thing.

2. You mentioned the Ultrasonics, have you skated in those yet? I'm very interested to see what the asymetrical boot does. I get that it will help get you pre-set for a shot but wondering how it effects movement like pushes or skating in general.

True uses 4mm steel while CCM is using 3mm. They have lest bite. 

I have total custom as3 eta for jan 26...
