Can we all just go back to using wooden sticks? I really don't want to spoil myself with a composite if I'm always lifting weights in the gym and its really annoying how some people have claimed that wood sticks are better for some things, so at the end of the day there's no perfect stick for every single style of play. Making a wood stick look like a decent choice for some. What bothers me the most though is that I do not want to spend 10 times as much on a hockey stick to get a shot 15 mph faster, if it's not going to be better everywhere across the board. With that expensive stick I'm seeing your snapshot go almost as fast as a curveball in the MLB.

Love my machs

Sakic was ahead of his time🙏

Just signed up for beginner beer league after not playing for 20+ years. Definitely investing in some elite quality skates, although they'll be lightly used. For me it's about not only protection and stiffness but comfort, light weight, and most include good steel. You can find really good premium skates for under half price hardly used, so unless money is a huge issue, I say at least get the great skates, great stick and maybe great helmet. Everything else can be just good.

Vs shadow

How much did they pack out, or how much better did they feel after a bake? I like the fit mostly but after wearing in the store for 20 mins, there was a bit of pressure from the tongue around the 3rd eyelet from the toe. Reluctant to drop a grand if this is going to be an issue. Is that tongue thermo formable with that plastic insert?

only good review I’ve been able to find thank you

Great video, I love this skate. Do you know why Bauer decided to stop manufacturing them?

I have the M5 Pros with the black-to blades. Im 275 lbs, rink guard 2x a week, public skate with my 4 year old son 1x a week and hockey 1x a week. I go about 12-15 sessions before I notice my edges slipping. I'll probably get bladetech when these wear out.

What product(s) was used to clean and\or restore the leather on the skates?

I use AS1 tacks - 1 piece and they fit great and perform awesome. That said, I believe the comfort and the progressivity of the flex on my Graf 709s made me a 'better' skater when it came to playing defense. I feel that the one piece, super stiff boot is lighter and definitely puts down more directly, but also at a cost of the purity of the extension of the 'push'. Even though my 709s are much heavier, if I was logging more blueline time and also needed more control, I felt I had an advantage with the Grafs.

Back in my day (90's) you either had a hard shot or you didn't. Now, 300+ dollars buys you a shot. Luckily for me, I always had a hard shot. I've bent and twisted a few Aluminums. I still use my Aluminums and the percentage of hacks and stick slashes have dropped to almost zero... I've broken a few opponents 300$ stick by getting slashed... I've seen grown men die inside. I laugh.

Love my 703’s, purchased 2 pairs.

Hey bro, I wear 7.5 on skates like you, but i don’t like my toe touching the front of the toe cap. You think an 8 would be better? Like, I don’t think the extra room of an 8 should affect anything should it? Thanks bro.

I know all these new technology is making CCM, Bauer, and TRUE skates top of the line but I'll always be loyal to Graf. They made and still make some of the best hockey skates. Always have been a huge fan.

What fit did you get Wardo? What size shoe do you wear and what size mach did you get?

Hi, Need your help to decide whether I should ho for Hyperlite 2 or Supreme Mach. Thanks for ur advice

How many bakes did it take to get comfy?

I used to have a very shallow skate sharpen and would have lots of issues with not getting enough grip on the ice (sometimes slipping when taking tight turns) until one of my coaches switched up the grind on the sharpener and said "You want sharp? I'll give you SHARP!!" and put a very deep grind on the blade. Initially I felt like my feet were stuck to the ice and I wasn't moving anywhere, but after a couple games and training sessions I could never go back, as I had so much power and control in my staking that it really improved my game (does take a tiny more effort with the legs though)

Im looking to buy some dlc black bladetechs that ship with a 9,11,13 radius. Realistically how long can you go before needing to re-profile.. I take them to a high quality shop but still struggle understanding how small these radius's are and how it wouldnt take much to round them out

I am using Bladetech DLC blades, and am well past 20 games (plus several drop ins / stick and pucks) since my last sharpen. The DLC and Blacksteel coatings are legit.

Hey man, nice video. Not seeing a lot of folks who like this stick. I think it has the best slapper that I’m aware of but I kinda struggled with other shots. I’m a huge supertacks guy but have cooled to them since the ASV pro and now the AS6 pro. I’m not much of a hybrid or low kick guy. Have you had the chance to try the Super Novium yet? If so, can you speak to the performance differences between it and the Novium Pro? I don’t care about weight or shaft grip. I’m more interested in blade feel and how it flexes in your hands. They’re kind of an X factor thing, but you and I seem to have similar shooting styles. I use an 80 flex in the ASV pro but a 75 flex in everything else and have to cut sticks down a little. Thanks in advance!

The Mach Skate is honestly a beast of a skate. You wear them the First Time and it feels like skating it for 5 yrs

Was that Howie’s wax you put on the blade? What does that do for the sharpening?

Do the m5 pro and the Mach have the same fit? The m5 pro fit me perfectly but I don’t like the yellow. I like the color way of the mach

Really cool to see this process. I’m a little surprised your customer didn’t ask for new eyelets to be put in since those are looking a little corroded

I just picked up the Super Novium and it feels amazing (was using an Agent before). Have you tried it? I cant find info anywhere. Cool reviews bro.

I really enjoyed this review. Good information. I am purchasing new skates this weekend, this gives me some insight to what I should look for.

we go heel to toe, why are you going toe to heel

Really well done video! Would definitely love to see a clapper video!

I got mine on Bauers website and they offer it with/without a steel. I had Bauer Supreme 1S and I went to the Hyperlites (wish I didn’t).. couldn’t get used to it and I just picked up these. This review gives me some piece of mind now ahha.. and pulse Ti is the way to go!!!!

Love the info. What position do you play? What type of shots would you say you take the most? How do you think quicker wristers and quick snap shots do with it?

I typically use 80 flex, if I buy the 85 and add a 2 inch extension, will that feel more like 80 flex in your opinion or only with the extension will it feel like 85 not closer to 90 like u said

I want to your shop and I talked to you

Great video!! Keep on!!

The skates are actually 709s. I've worn them for years! I've changed out the Cobra 3000 holders for Graf's Ultra 5000s and changed out the steel for Step Blacksteel blades. They still perform great for me!

Picked up my warrior from you 2 weeks ago along with the goalie stick my my team mate love the warrior

i just broke 5 syncs and might make a switch from bauer to warrior

I absolutely love the 2s boot. I haven't moved into the fit system yet

Nice vid , love warrior twigs

You do amazing work. You go the extra mile for your customers. We need people like you here in Washington State.

You’re a True Craftsman. 👍🏼

Thanks for the review. And thanks for the final comment regarding beer leaguers! So I wore Bauer 2000's for 30+ years and they fit like slippers. They were falling apart though, so I bought a pair of Vapor X500's maybe 3 years ago, but could never break them in despite multiple attempts (crippling foot pain after 5 minutes of use) so I went back to the Bauer 2000's. A few months ago, the boot of one of my 2000's literally broke and they're no longer usable. Long story short, I had a few days to find new skates that feel good almost immediately. A few trusted guys told me the Ultrasonics had zero break-in time, which was all i really cared about after my experience with the Vapors, and this year's version of the Ultrasonic was the Mach. I caved and bought the Mach's despite the price, I just want a high quality skate that's as comfortable as possible. I am still getting used to the drastic difference in stiffness between the Mach's and my old Bauer 2000's, but the Mach is softening a bit and I can tell it's a terrific skate. I switched my Superfeet from performance to comfort and that made a big difference as well. I'm also sure the Mach's will be the last skates I ever buy so the price is a non-factor if they last half as long as my Bauer 2000's did.

Nice review

Have you tried the alpha lx pro?

Been a while since we got a Warrior Mid kick. Just picked this up today for 139.99 CAD, looking forward to trying out this friday

Graf and tuuk LS2 edge best combo

Great work, do you offer any mail in service? I have a pair of Graf skates I would like you to work on.
