LS PULSE

CCM HG97 gloves are designed with pros in mind. They offer superior protection and detail without sacrificing mobility or durability. Most noticeable are the reinforced backhands with Shot Blocker technology. This provides maximum protection against impacts and trauma. These gloves feature a traditional 4-Roll design with reinforced heavy-duty Dual Density Foam on the backhands and fingers along with plastic inserts for increased protection. The cuff also has a classic fit that offers maximum wrist mobility and features extended upper padding. The palm is constructed with soft reinforced suede, and the interior liner wicks away moisture to keep the gloves light and dry for maximum feel and comfort.

Vapor Hyperlite

# Bauer Vapor Hyperlite Hockey Skates


###  Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor Hyperlite is a top-tier ice hockey skate designed for professional and aspiring professional players who prioritize agility and quickness. It features the revolutionary Powerfly holder, which flexes to enhance responsiveness during various skating movements, leading to faster acceleration and smoother transitions. The skate's lightweight design, achieved through the use of Aerolite foam, allows for increased mobility without sacrificing support or comfort. Within the Bauer lineup, the Vapor Hyperlite sits alongside the Supreme line, with the former emphasizing quickness and maneuverability, while the latter focuses on power and energy transfer. The Hyperlite represents the culmination of 25 years of skate innovation for Bauer, aiming to deliver the ultimate combination of speed and performance for elite players.


### Perfect skates for:

The elite players who skate 4-5+ times per week


### Key features include:



* Crafted with 3D Lasted Carbon Curv Composite for durability and support.
* Features Lock Fit Pro lining material for a secure and comfortable fit.
* Aerofoam Pro padding provides optimal cushioning and support around the ankle.
* AeroLite construction with Dual Injected Insert for lightweight comfort
* Equipped with Lock Fit footbed for stability and comfort.
* Anaform upper allows for customized fit and enhanced comfort.
* HyperFLex sole for flexibility and agility on the ice.
* TUUK Lightspeed Edge holder facilitates quick and effortless blade changes.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/super-tacks-as3/pro-stock/l251934) and the [True Pro Custom](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/pro-custom-4/l10558)

The AS3 Pro skates feature a one-piece monocoque boot construction with a tapered fit and CCM's MetaFrame Technology. The True Pro Custom skates prioritize a personalized fit, with custom-made skates based on individual foot measurements and a carbon fiber one-piece shell. Both options offer strong competition with their unique features, allowing players to choose based on their fit, performance, and customization preferences.


### Progression:

While the 2021 release marked the introduction of the Hyperlite with its core features, there's a possibility of encountering slight variations depending on the production year due to the potential for minor, unannounced refinements. 

**2021 (Initial Release):** The first iteration of the Vapor Hyperlite featured several key innovations, including:



* Lightweight one-piece boot construction for improved mobility and responsiveness.
* Fit System with three width options (Fit 1, 2, and 3) for a wider range of foot shapes.
* AeroLite foam tongue for reduced weight and comfort.
* Hyperflex outsole for efficient energy transfer.
* A choice between three blade options: Carbonlite, Pulse TI, and Pulse.

**2022/2023 minor updates**: Bauer introduced minor refinements to the Hyperlite in the 2022/2023 model. These involve:



* Material tweaks for weight optimization or durability enhancement.
* Padding adjustments for improved comfort or fit.
* Minor holder or blade updates based on player feedback or technological advancements.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are incredibly light!  The HyperFlex technology with the carbon composite boot makes a huge difference. They feel very responsive and agile on the ice, allowing for quicker starts, faster turns, and overall better maneuverability.
* They felt weird at first, but after two skates I’m realizing some benefits. My turns are sticking better and my stops are harder and more precise. I will never be great, but these skates are helping me be the best I can be.
* After baking and profiling, they are outstanding. I have about 10 skates on them and couldn't be happier. Out of the box comfort is great and forward flex is much better than my old skates.

CONS:



* I’m questioning it’s durability especially for the $1,000+ price tag. The tongue looks good but the red fabric has already torn in only a month. I just replaced his laces as they were cut in several places which appear to be a result of the plastic lace eyelets.
* The Vapor Hyperlite leans towards a stiffer flex profile for maximum energy transfer.  While great for powerful skaters, this stiffness is too much for a beginner like me.
* After 6 months of use, i’m forced to buy another set because the plastic lace system at the top of the skate was broken and rendered the skate useless.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

I've had multiple pairs of the HyperLites, both retail and custom-made. It's like the HyperLite took the best elements from all the top Vapor skates and made them even lighter and more comfortable. The Hyperlite is the lightest skate I've ever used. It's almost so light that you need to get adjusted to putting pressure differently using your blades because heavier skates do give you a little extra weight. 

They have a comfort liner within the skate and right along the ankle, which keeps your ankles from wearing down. It's very durable, too. I've used a pair for about three years, skating a lot, and they've held up perfectly. Also, it's a great travel skate. Everything is weight-based if you're flying somewhere, so the HyperLite is an excellent option.

Vapor 2X Pro

# Bauer Vapor 2X Pro Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor 2X Pro hockey skates are designed for elite players who prioritize performance and top-of-the-line features. Known for their lightweight build and focus on agility, these skates are ideal for players who value quickness and responsiveness on the ice. The 2X Pro incorporates Bauer's DYNAFLEX system, which includes an asymmetrical toe cap for a low-volume fit and enhanced mobility. Additionally, the skates boast features like a carbon composite quarter package for stiffness and energy transfer, a memory foam liner for comfort, and a vented outsole for breathability. As part of Bauer's Vapor line, the 2X Pro represents the brand's continued commitment to innovation and responsiveness in the fast-paced world of hockey.


### Perfect skates for:

Elite players who skate 4-5+ times per week


### Key features include:

- Enhanced fit with the low-profile design.

- Ultimate performance with the DYNAFLEX System.

- Improved comfort and fit with Aero Foam Pro padding.

- Premium durability with the Lock-Fit Pro liner.

- Feel locked in with the Tuuk Lightspeed EDGE holder.

- Long-lasting edge life with the Tuuk LS5 runner.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Ribcor 80K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-80k/l12074) and the [True Pro Custom](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/pro-custom-4/l10558)

The CCM Ribcor 80K skates offer a similar level of performance and customization. They feature a lightweight, carbon composite boot for maximum responsiveness and a customizable fit with heat moldable technology. The Ribcor 80K skates also utilize the SpeedBlade XS holder system for quick blade changes. On the other hand, the True Pro Custom Hockey Skates are known for their customizability, as the name suggests. They offer a fully customizable fit and are handcrafted to the player's exact specifications. The True Pro Custom skates also feature a lightweight construction and premium materials for optimal performance. 


### Progression:

Key improvements in the 2X Pro over the 1X Pro:




* **Weight:** The 2X Pro is lighter than the 1X Pro due to advancements in materials and construction.
* **Performance:** The 2X Pro features improvements in energy transfer, edge control, and overall responsiveness compared to the 1X Pro.

 
It's important to note that while the 2X Pro is generally considered an upgrade over the 1X Pro, the specific choice between the two models will depend on individual player preferences, budget, and skating style.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are awesome. The DynaFlex system with the asymmetrical toe cap provides a super close, locked-in fit. The boot is stiff and responsive, perfect for powerful skating.
* The Lock Fit Pro liner is the most comfortable liner I've ever experienced in a skate. It feels like a custom mold of my foot, and there were no major break-in issues.
* The holder provides a solid platform for the blade, and the steel offers some of the best edge control I've ever had. Turns feel effortless.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely on the expensive side.
* With their high-performance focus, these skates are very stiff.  While that's great for powerful strides, it might be too much for beginner players. A stiffer boot can be harder to control and maneuver.
* I had a hard time finding these skates in my size.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

One of the things that makes the 2X Pro great is how light it feels. It's an extremely lightweight boot that is also really durable. It's a predecessor to what you see in the HyperLite these days. Very durable but also very light. So the 2X Pro is perfect for agility, cutting back and forth across the ice. And, it still has good power. At the professional level, some NHL players use the 2X Pro and have no issues. It’s a skate that will last you. Mine are still fine to play in even after years. It's a skate built to last.

HG12

### Product Description
 
HG12 pro stock gloves from CCM are a great option for elite players who want to look and feel like the pros. The padding along the backhand is designed to move as you move, which promotes better flexibility all around. HG12s feature durable PU in their exterior, and HD foam and PE inserts combine to provide a lightweight, ultra protective experience. 

The palms of the HG12 gloves are reinforced to increase durability, but they’re still incredibly soft to provide you great comfort and feel while you’re stick handling or shooting. For increased mobility and better hold on your stick, the HG12’s feature a segmented KFS lock thumb.

### Expert Notes

HG12 gloves are extremely comfortable and perfectly tailored to the shape of any player’s hand. Initially, you may find that these gloves are slightly restrictive; however, it should only take about a week to break them in and get used to them. The extended wrist cuff moves independently from the rest of the glove, which allows for a full range of motion while offering tons of forearm protection. If you wear smaller elbow pads, HG12 gloves could be a good option for you to make up for the lack of protection from your elbow pads. The palms of these gloves are insanely comfortable, and hold up extremely well against wear and tear.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Supreme 2S Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-2s-pro/l7798) and the [CCM JetSpeed FT2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft2-2/l11100)

The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro skates offer a comparable level of customization as the True Pro Custom skates, with a focus on power and stability. They feature a lightweight, anatomically fitting design for maximum power transfer and a customizable fit with their patented Flex Edge technology. The Supreme 2S Pro skates also utilize the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder for quick blade changes. In comparison, the CCM JetSpeed FT2 skates provide a customizable fit with a one-piece boot design for improved responsiveness and control. They feature an ultra-lightweight construction and a Rocketframe composite material for enhanced stiffness and agility. The JetSpeed FT2 skates also feature the Speedblade Xchange system for easy and quick blade changes.


### Progression:

True Hockey, a relatively younger brand compared to established giants like Bauer, has offered a more streamlined approach to its skate lineup, particularly with its flagship True Pro Custom skate. This translates to fewer model variations and a clearer focus on refinement over major overhauls. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are like an extension of my feet. The custom-fitting process means almost no break-in period. The comfort level is incredible, and I can skate for hours without any pain or discomfort.
* The boot is super responsive and allows for maximum energy transfer in my strides.  The heat-moldable option lets you customize the flex profile to your liking, which is a game-changer.
* The skates feel incredibly lightweight, which helps with agility and maneuverability.  Despite the lightweight build, the materials seem very durable. I've been using them for a season now, and they're still holding up great.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely an investment. The custom fitting process adds to the cost, which might not be feasible for everyone.
* The custom fitting process takes time, and there can be a waitlist to get your skates made.  If you need skates right away, this might not be the best option.
* While the custom fitting is great in theory, it might not be perfect for everyone.  Some users with very complex foot shapes might still experience some fit issues.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The True Pro Custom are the skates I currently use. They're fantastic. The durability on these is just otherworldly. I've used my Pro Customs for over two years, and they still hold up great. In being custom, a lot of the holders (what keeps the steel in) can be swapped out. They will feature the quick-release Bauer version, or you'll see these skates with the quick-release CCM version. When you're looking for these skates, you can pretty much find whatever you desire.

Super Tacks AS3 Pro

# CCM AS3 Pro Hockey Skates


###  Product Description: 


The CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro hockey skates are designed for powerful strides and improved performance on the ice. They are considered mid-tier skates, offering a good balance between features and affordability. They are known for their lightweight build, designed for a powerful stride, and moisture-wicking liner that keeps feet comfortable and dry. 

These skates fit into CCM's long history of hockey innovation. The company has been around for over 100 years and has been a major player in the hockey equipment market since the beginning. The Super Tacks line is known for its focus on performance and speed, and the AS3 Pro is the top-of-the-line offering in the Tacks lineup.


### Perfect skates for:

An elite player looking for a high-performing anatomical medium-fit skate


### Key features include:



* One-piece RFM MonoFrame for a direct energy transfer
* Snug, 360-degree fit around the forefoot, heel, and ankle for optimal comfort.
* Super lightweight, stiff, and thermo-formable core 
* Moisture-wicking liner keeps feet dry and skates light
* Thick pad around the top of the boot, one-piece injected tendon guard 
* 7mm replaceable asymmetrical tongue for comfort and advanced lace-bite protection.
* Lightweight composite midsole
* Speedblade XS blade holder makes it easy to change out blades
* XS Stainless steel runner for long-term performance


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/search?q=CCM%20Super%20Tacks%20AS3%20Pro) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956) 

The CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro skates are highly regarded for their premium quality materials and performance. On the other hand, the True TF9 skates offer a customizable fit tailored to individual foot measurements, providing a more personalized experience for players. Both alternatives present strong competition to the CCM AS3 Pro skates, offering unique features and benefits that cater to different player preferences and needs.


### Progression:

CCM introduces minor improvements to existing skate lines throughout their production cycle without necessarily introducing a new numbered model. However, there are CCM Super Tacks skates that came before the AS3 Pro, which offer some insight into the general progression:

**CCM Super Tacks AS1 (2017-2020)**: This skate was known for its stiff flex profile and focus on powerful strides. It featured a one-piece SpeedBlade black CCM XS blade and a Speedblade XS holder. 
 
**CCM Super Tacks AS-V (2019-2021):** This model offered a slightly more forgiving flex compared to the AS1 while maintaining a focus on powerful skating. It retained the one-piece SpeedBlade black CCM XS blade and Speedblade XS holder. 
 
Key features introduced in the AS3 Pro compared to its predecessors:



* **One-piece boot construction:** This aims to provide a closer fit and potentially improve energy transfer compared to the two-piece construction in the AS1 and AS-V.
* **XS Tongue system**: This allows for customization of tongue thickness for individual preferences and comfort levels, which wasn't present in the AS1 and AS-V.
* **SpeedBlade XS holder with Power profile:** This might offer better edge control and power transfer compared to the standard XS holder used in the AS1 and AS-V.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are awesome. I feel tons of power in my strides, and the edge control is incredible. My skating feels effortless. A great choice for advanced players.
* I purchased these after skating in Bauer Supremes for the last four years. They are head and shoulders above the Supremes in terms of comfort and feel on the ice. The one-piece boot is phenomenal.
* Despite the stiffness for power transfer, the AS3 Pro feels surprisingly lightweight. This allows for quick starts, good agility, and overall responsiveness on the ice.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely on the expensive side.  While the performance is undeniable, the price tag might not be realistic for everyone.
* These skates are quite stiff out of the box and possibly too stiff for some skaters.
* These skates need a longer break-in period than expected. It took them a few weeks of use before they felt truly comfortable.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The AS3 Pro is a carbon composite one-piece boot. It's a higher-level skate with a premium liner for moisture wicking, an interchangeable, custom-fitting tongue, and an improved blade lock system that secures the blade to the holder. Swapping out blades is super easy. The AS3 will have a more anatomical, snug fit. It has good heel locking, giving you reall good acceleration and power.

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Power: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Speed: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Covert DT1

### Product Description 

The Warrior Covert DT1 is a consistent twig that’s made for harder, more accurate shots. The TwinSpar EXT shaft extends into the Dagger taper and is made of XStitch cross-stitched fibers for extended durability and wear. The Dagger T2 technology enhances the Low Kick ST construction to create harder shots without sacrificing accuracy. The 3K blade is carbonized with XStitch fibers creating a stiff, lightweight blade that maintains its durability and stability while the Aramid sole protection reduces chipping and cracking. This stick is built for stronger players with heavy shots who want maximum energy transfer and performance.

RBZ Speedburner

### Product Description

The RBZ SpeedBurner from CCM borrows technology from popular golf club manufacturer TaylorMade Golf. The golf club technology helps the RBZ SpeedBurner achieve an extremely low swing weight, which is a highly sought after concept when it comes to golf clubs. The concept of swing speed  as it pertains to golf clubs also applies to hockey sticks. CCM’s goal with the RBZ SpeedBurner was to achieve the optimal weight distribution that will result in a balanced stick with a smooth and fast swing (or shot) motion. Similar to its predecessors, the SpeedBurner has a constant flex profile in the shaft. This gives each player a custom kick point that is determined by the placement of their lower hand.

### Expert Notes

These twigs are decked out a little differently with respect to graphics, showing off a red base with white and red decals. The blades are super zippy and transfer a ton of energy from the load up to the puck release. The puck comes off the blade super smoothly, and the shaft has a silky feel that allows your hands to move easily along the stick without slipping, so you’re always in control. If you’re looking for a twig with a little more zip, we’d recommend trying out the RBZ Speedburner.
