  1. Hoping that someone can find out/compile tangible data on the performance difference and ankle strain difference between the two. But you're right, bungees haven't really caught on with the current era of NHL goaltenders (I think I've seen maybe only 6 goalies use them so far this year). It'll be interesting to see if the next crop of goaltenders in 5-10 years will retain use of bungees as they graduate to pro, since bungees usually come standard default with most stock pads nowadays.
  2. They were only going to do it if they could get a big name to sign on (I heard they were targetting Markstrom)
  3. I ordered mine 2 weeks after launch (~Nov 24) and received in 11 weeks.
  4. How do you guys strap your pads/FRS (tight, loose, specifics?) Currently having an issue with my right pad having a tendency to stay pointed outwards after getting up from butterfly to a standing position. My right thighrise overlaps top of the left thighrise in like 99% of situations, if that matters. Also, does anyone else's 590 do this? If I seal the T/upper half, the wrist lifts off (and puck can slide out), if I push with the wrist down, the pocket/T lifts up and the puck can slide out

  6. I was curious about this, so I sent an email to one of the reps at True's factory (I had to get in touch with them previously for a colour zone issue) The rep confirmed the soft/stiff option refers to the core of the shin, which means shorter/longer rebounds depending on which way you go.
  7. Interesting take on the sizing - I'm currently in an Xtra-Small Bauer Ultrasonic (32+) and I seemed to size well in a stock 32+2 True, and in addition my FTK according to True's sizing chart indicates the same, so that's what I went with on my order.
  8. I got my order in a bit later (Nov 22-23) with the website listing 8-10 weeks lead time. I think the guys who got pre-orders in before the official release date (Nov 10) will get their sets in really fast, anyone after will probably be more on later end of that timeline with all the orders flooding in from retailers. If I get mine before January, I will be really surprised lol.
  9. I ordered around the start of 2021 for a full kevlar, unfinished interior. Total was around $820CAD including tax/shipping.
  10. I used a blowdryer to heat up the specific section of the skate that needed more space, immediately before putting them on and going onto the ice with them. Basically worked them in with on ice movements while that section of the shell was still hot/warm.
  11. If they can order skates then they can just ask Bauer to send the necessary parts with the shipment. The shims and toe sleeves literally come in a little packaged bag like you would find off the wall like with mask screws/straps, pad straps, or whatever little accessories they sell.
  12. I'm expecting to give these a fitting on Monday. I'm curious about insoles - I have collapsed arches and currently use a Ccm performance insole in custom Trues (I've tried about 3-4 different ones including various superfeet) and this is the only one that doesn't give my arches cramps. Should I fit with the stock insole first then make adjustments after, or start with the insole that works for me right now?
  13. They're supposed to feel awful unbaked. Even the True TF9's feel like garbage until you bake them - people are seriously underestimating how moldable skates are nowadays.
  14. Anyone with smaller feet get fitted yet? I'm a 8.5-9 sneaker size so if sizes 7 is too big for me (Konekts start at size 7) then I'm going to be sad.
