Supreme M5 Pro

# Bauer Supreme M5 Pro Hockey Skates]


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro Ice Hockey Skates are designed for powerful skaters who play several times a week and look to maximize their explosiveness on the ice. They feature a 3D lasted Carbon Curv composite boot that is lightweight, supportive, and thermoformable for a custom fit. The boot is stiff in the lower portion to transfer power to your strides, while the traditional facing and tendon guard allow for maximum ankle flexion and extension. The skates also come with the "Choose Your Steel" option, allowing you to select the blade that best suits your playing style.

The Bauer Supreme line has a long history of catering to skaters who prioritize power and explosiveness. The M5 Pro continues this tradition by offering elite-level technology at a more affordable price point compared to Bauer's top-of-the-line skates.


### Perfect skates for:

elite players looking for high-end performance and comfort at a lower price than the Mach


### Key features include:



* A 3D Lasted Carbon Curv Composite quarter package
* Traditional facing which assists players in flexing over their toes
* Tendon guard enableing full extension of the stride, allowing you to reach your top speed.
* Classic Pro Felt Tongue, renowned for its comfort and performance
* Asymmetrical toe cap reduces space within the boot, enhancing responsiveness when moving your foot.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Ribcor 78K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-78k/l62114) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro skates excel in power transfer and stability with their solid quarter package and Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holders. The CCM Ribcor 78K skates prioritize mobility and agility with their flexible quarter package and Ribcor Elite holder. The True TF7 skates prioritize comfort and personalization with True Hockey's custom-fit system and two-piece TrueForm composite quarter package. When choosing among these high-quality options, players should consider their playing style, foot shape, and any specific features that are important to them.


### Progression:

The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro hockey skate draws inspiration from the top-of-the-line Bauer Supreme 1X Pro. It incorporates some key design changes to fit within a more affordable price point and performance level in the Supreme line. 

The M5 Pro shares the 1X Pro's core focus on power skating with a stiff flex profile for powerful skaters. The key differences and upgrades between the M5 Pro compared to 1X Pro are: 



* **Boot Construction:** The M5 Pro utilizes a 3D Lasted Curv Composite Quarter Package, which is a refinement over the 1X Pro's Vaporposite+ composite. This results in a lighter weight or a slightly different flex profile for optimized energy transfer.
* **Holder**: The M5 Pro uses the TUuk Lightspeed Edge holder, offering similar security but lighter weight compared to the PowerFly holder used in the 1X Pro.
* **Liner:** The M5 Pro utilizes a moisture-wicking liner, an upgrade in comfort features compared to the 1X Pro.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are a great for maximizing power on the ice. The 3D lasted Carbon Curv Composite boot is stiff and supportive, providing great energy transfer with each stride. I noticed a significant improvement in my skating speed after switching to the M5 Pro.
* I've struggled to find a well-fitting skate and considered going the custom route….but the wider toe box in Fit 1 of these fit me like a glove. The stiffness is perfect for me (a middle-age player going 3X a week). 
* The best part of this skate is the tongue, which has a blend of comfort and protection and a lot of ankle padding. 

CONS:



* The stiff carbon fiber boot can take some time to break in completely. My ankles were sore during the first few weeks of use.
* These skates are designed for powerful strides and require a good amount of leg strength. Beginners might find them too stiff and demanding.
* After only 6 skates the midfoot has already compressed leaving the skate with enough room to not have a secure fit anymore.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The M5 Pro is focused on giving a lot of power. Normally, you'd hear a Supreme or Bauer Pro model going for $900+. The M5 Pro is different than that. It has all the Pro features, but for a cheaper price—more of a mid-range level price. So the M5 Pro has all the same comfort features, durability, the ability to change your steel, and the traditional supreme anatomic fit. With the new Fit System mechanisms, the M5 Pro allows you to customize whether you want it wide, narrow, etc.

Supreme M3

# Bauer Supreme M3 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme M3 hockey skates are designed for recreational and competitive players. They feature a Digi Comp quarter for a lightweight and supportive fit, a memory foam ankle pad for comfort, and a traditional flex profile for a good range of motion. The liner is made of a moisture-wicking material to help keep feet dry, and the LS Edge holder makes it easy to swap out blades. The Bauer Supreme M3 skates are a good mid-range option for players who are looking for a skate that offers good value for the money.

The Bauer Supreme line has been around for many years, and the M3 is a continuation of the brand's commitment to providing high-quality skates for players of all levels. The Supreme line is known for its focus on comfort and performance, and the M3 skates live up to that reputation.


### Perfect skates for:

The weekly player who prioritzes comfort at an excellent value. 


### Key features include:



* Digi Comp quarter enhances comfort and reduces weight
* Traditional facing assists players in flexing over their toes while providing wrap on top of the foot for sustained comfort.
* 40oz Felt Tongue provides players with increased comfort and ease of flex.
* LS Edge holder offers reliability and enables quick changes of steel when needed.
* Symmetrical toe cap enhances comfort by providing slightly more room at the front of the boot.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Jetspeed FT470](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft470/l59164) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

All three skates target developing players seeking a balance of affordability, comfort, and performance. The CCM JetSpeed FT470 leans towards a stiffer flex profile for more powerful strides, while the True TF7 emphasizes a slightly lighter weight construction and a focus on heat-moldability for a more customized fit. Ultimately, the best choice depends on whether the player prioritizes power (CCM) or a comfortable, personalized fit (True).


### Progression:

Bauer prioritizes introducing major advancements in their top-of-the-line models (like the Vapor 3X Pro or Supreme 3X Pro) and does not explicitly advertise minor refinements made to mid-range skates like the M3.

Upgrades to the M3 line include subtle tweaks to materials, padding, and specific components including the upgraded 40oz felt tongue with a mesh metatarsal guard for protection and comfort. Bauer also included a sublimated hydrophobic microfiber liner with memory foam padding and the quick release trigger allowing players to remove damaged or broken steel in seconds. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are good for recreational players who are looking for a good balance of performance and comfort without going overboard on the price. They're much lighter than expected for the price point, making for easier strides. 
* The M3 skates come with a slightly heat-moldable liner that allows for a more customized fit around the ankle. This helped eliminate some pressure points I had with my old skates. They also provide decent arch support.
* These skates didn't require a long break-in period like some higher-end models. The memory foam ankle padding feels great and there were no real comfort issues out of the box. 

CONS:



* The M3 skates don't offer the same level of stiffness as some top-of-the-line models. This might be a drawback for players who are looking for maximum power transfer in their strides.
* The fit of these skates leans a bit on the narrow side. If you have wider feet, you might want to consider tanother model with a wider width option.
* Only complaint is the steel sucks. I bought some pulse runners and they are great, but if I would have known that I had to throw another $110 for decent steel, I would have just bought the m4s.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The M3 is a low to mid-level skate. It's a bit more expensive than the introductory ones, but it has the quick-release steel changer. So players can use the M3 for a lot longer than if there was no way to change the blades efficiently. It has a lot of comfort features like a thick padded tongue. It's so focused on comfort and this keeps players happier. Because when you're starting out, comfort is a bit more important. The reason I've seen people STOP using this skate is just because of the durability aspect. As people become more comfortable with their game or their skating, and they start doing different cuts and using their skates differently, the wear will happen in different areas and degrade this skate faster than higher-end models.

* Closer fit for improved performance with the One Piece Boot Speed quarter package.
* TotalDri Pro+ liner's high-performance moisture-wicking capabilities.
* Customizable fit and comfort with the interchangeable tongue.
* Asymmetrical toe cap.
* Better bite and longer-lasting edges with the Step Blacksteel featuring carbon-coated technology.
* Enhanced energy transfer with the lightweight composite midsole.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Supreme 3S Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-3s-pro/l65212) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The 3S Pro skates focus on power and precision, with features like an asymmetrical quarter package design, Form-Fit+ footbed, and Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder. On the other hand, the TF9 skates prioritize a customized fit through True Hockey's patented fit system, featuring a two-piece composite quarter construction and SHIFT holder. Each option presents different strengths, with the 3S Pro emphasizing control and comfort, the TF9 focusing on a personalized fit, and the FT4 Pro highlighting agility and responsiveness. 


### Progression:

CCM's JetSpeed hockey skates have had various models and updates over the years, offering speed, performance, and fit improvements. Here are some notable models and updates:

[**JetSpeed FT1**](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft1/l1305): Introduced as the first skate in the JetSpeed line, the FT1 featured a RocketFrame composite boot, SpeedCore 3 technology, and TotalDri Pro liner.

[**JetSpeed FT2**](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft2-2/l11100): The FT2 skate introduced L1TE Frame 360 EVO technology, reducing the weight of the boot by 20 grams and improving rigidity. It also featured a wraparound tongue for enhanced fit and comfort.

[**JetSpeed FT4 Pro**](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft4-pro-2/l165798): This model showcased the Hyperglide runner, which had a lighter blade design. The skate also boasted an asymmetrical toe cap for improved customization and fit.

[**JetSpeed FT6 Pro**](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft6-pro-5/l330947): The FT6 Pro is part of the 2023 skate lineup, featuring top-of-the-line performance and technology including the new SuperSkin insert which protects the exterior better than ever before. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are top-of-the-line. The composite boot provides incredible stiffness and responsiveness. My strides feel powerful, and the edges hold like nobody's business.  
* The TotalFit Pro+ liner with the asymmetrical tongue offers a fantastic, locked-in fit. The liner feels supportive and comfortable from the start, and the heat-molding capabilities allowed me to get a truly custom fit around my ankles and heels.
* Despite the stiffness for power transfer, the JetSpeed FT4 feels surprisingly lightweight.  The fit allows for good mobility in the ankle, and the boot design helps with quick turns and overall agility. 

CONS:



* These skates are expensive. While the performance is good, the price tag is only realistic for serious players or those with a professional budget. There are very good skates available at lower price points.
* Unfortunately after using these for less than a season, a puck from a shot hit the interior of the skate and created a huge crack in the "one piece boot". I was shocked at how easily these skates split open.
* These skates needed a longer break-in period than I expected, especially compared to other JetSpeed models I’ve tried. It took them a few weeks of use before the skates felt truly comfortable.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

Many people compare the FT4 Pro to the HyperLite, but the FT4 has much more power. It's an incredibly powerful skate, and the fit is perfect. I would do my stride in the FT4 Pro and realized pretty quickly that I needed to watch out! I'm not used to the power. You see a lot of NHL players still using the FT4 Pro. I'll see a player going really fast and think wow, look at that. Oh yeah, they are wearing the JetSpeed FT4 Pro.

Tacks AS-570

# CCM Tacks AS-570 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks AS-570 hockey skates are designed for powerful strides and a close fit, making them ideal for competitive players of all ages. They bring the technology of CCM's high-end Tacks skates to a more affordable price point. The skates feature a one-piece boot for better energy transfer and a closer fit, along with a 150 stiffness flex rating for powerful pushes. The replaceable asymmetrical tongue and XS steel runners allow for customization to individual preferences. Continuing the legacy of the Tacks line, the AS-570 skates aim to provide power and performance for today's hockey players.


### Perfect skates for:

A player looking for a balance between some of the high-end tech but at a lower cost.


### Key features include:



* Direct energy transfer with the one Piece Boot quarter package 
* HD Microfiber liner 
* Interchangeable, custom fitting tongue
* Molded CCM Ortholite footbed with recycled EVA foam
* CCM XS Stainless Steel runner


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Supreme M5 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-m5-pro-2/l177540) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

All three skates target mid-range players seeking a balance of affordability and performance. The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro leans towards a stiffer flex profile for powerful strides, similar to the AS-570. However, the True TF7 stands out for its focus on a lightweight construction and a more customizable fit through heat-moldable materials. Ultimately, the best choice depends on whether the player prioritizes a stiffer skate for maximum power (CCM and Bauer) or a lighter weight skate with a more personalized fit (True).


### Progression:

CCM typically prioritizes introducing major advancements in their top-of-the-line models like the JetSpeed or RibCor lines. Updates to mid-range skates like the AS-570 are more subtle and not explicitly advertised. The AS-570 offers some significant upgrades over the entry-level models including a one-piece quarter package boot, interchangeable tongues, and the speedblade XS Holder improving the spring-lock system that makes swapping out blades more efficient. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The one-piece boot provides a good amount of stiffness for powerful strides, which is unusual to find at this price range. They're not top-of-the-line, but they're a great option for players looking for an upgrade from recreational skates.
* The liner is decent quality and wicks away moisture well. These skates are also fairly lightweight, which makes for easier strides and better maneuverability on the ice.
*  The AS-570 is a great fit for someone who has flat feet. One of my friends suggested adding a pair of superfeet skates to them and they felt great!

CONS



* More advanced players might find the boot to be a little too soft for their needs. These skates don’t offer the same level of stiffness and performance as some top-of-the-line models.
* The one-piece boot does require a break-in period, and I found it to be a bit uncomfortable at first. There are some serious initial pressure points and blisters happening on my feet.
* Baked these skates and am currently on my 4th time getting these punched. There is no room on the inner side of these skates for the bones in an average persons foot near the ankle. 


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The AS-570 is in a good state. You have the ankle-locking memory foam and it offers a lot of power and comfort. This skate might not be as durable as other comparable models. It doesn't have the same high-end materials as the 5 Pro, but the AS-570 has a really good anatomical fit. It's a great skate if you don't really need the pro-level durability because you might only be skating on the weekends, but you still want something decent.

Additional features include the Powerflex tendon for increased range of motion and the XS Metatomic tongue for protection and comfort.

The Tacks line has been a mainstay in CCM's hockey skate lineup for decades, known for its focus on stiffness and power for a powerful skating stride. The AS-V Pro continues this tradition while incorporating modern technologies for an overall lighter and more responsive skate.


### Perfect skates for:

A player who skates 4-5+ times per week and needs a comfortable skate with top-level performance benefits.


### Key features include:



* One Piece Boot Power quarter package 
* TotalDri Pro+ liner with polygiene for a high-performance moisture wicking 
* Interchangeable, custom fitting Tongue
* Molded CCM Ortholite Ultralite footbed with heel grip

* Powerflex Tendon Guard with Carbon


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Supreme 3S Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-3s-pro/l65212) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The CCM Tacks skates are known for their advanced features and performance-driven design, offering excellent support and mobility on the ice. The Bauer Supreme 3S Pro skates focus on power and precision, with an asymmetrical quarter package design for improved ankle stability. The True TF9 skates prioritize a personalized fit and enhanced comfort, with True Hockey's custom-fit system based on individual foot measurements. Overall, players should consider their playing style, preferences, and fit when choosing between these high-quality options.


### Progression:

While there isn't a clearly defined predecessor with a single model name leading directly to the CCM AS-V Pro Hockey Skates (released in 2022), there's evidence suggesting it succeeds skates within the Tacks line focused on power and explosiveness. Updates include:



* The AS-V Pro’s one-piece Power boot, an upgrade from the AS3 Pro model, is engineered for explosiveness. 
* New Powerflex tendon guard with carbon, designed to improve your range of motion
* With the AS-V Pro, buyers can now choose which runner they’d like: CCM’s Step Blacksteel, Step V-Steel, or Step Steel 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The one-piece boot and carbon construction are super stiff and really transfer energy into your strides. My slapshot has gotten noticeably harder since I switched to these skates. Plus, the Powerflex tendon allows for a full range of motion for powerful strides.
* By far the most comfortable skate/boot I've ever put my feet into...like warm melted butter.
* For a high-performance stiff boot, these skates are surprisingly lightweight and maneuverable. The Step Steel blades are sharp and give you excellent edge control. They helped me improve my agility on the ice.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely at the top end of the price range. They're a great skate, but you're paying for the premium features and performance.
* These are very stiff skates designed for powerful strides. They require a lot of leg strength to use effectively.
* The stock laces that come with the skates are just okay. I replaced them with a higher quality waxed lace for a better fit and feel. This seems like a minor detail on a high-end skate.

The AS-V Pro offers a close, professional fit, and a lot of power. I really love the quick acceleration. The number one thing with this skate is comfort. The padding really secures the ankle and foot while keeping the flexibilityity to turn and move. The tongue has a funky design, but it allows you to get a full range of motion without feeling insecure in the skate or like it's going to fall off or wobble.

AS-V

# CCM Tacks AS-V Hockey Skates

### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks AS-V hockey skates are designed for powerful strides and explosiveness on the ice. They feature a one-piece boot for superior energy transfer and a close fit, along with a lightweight composite construction for better mobility. The skates also come with a new Powerflex tendon for increased range of motion and a customizable steel blade option. As part of the long-standing Tacks line, known for its focus on power skating, the AS-V skates offer an elite option for players seeking top-of-the-line performance without the top-of-the-line price tag.


### Perfect skates for:

player who skates 3-4 times per week and is looking for elite features at a lower price point


### Key features include:



* One Piece Boot Power quarter package.
* TotalDri Pro liner featuring Polygiene for high-performance moisture-wicking comfort.
* Customizable fit and comfort with the interchangeable tongue.
* Cushioning and support with the molded CCM Ortholite Ultralite footbed.
* Comfort with memory foam and seamless padding.
* Support and flexibility with the Powerflex Tendon Guard featuring Fiberglass construction.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Vapor X2.9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-x2-9/l60200) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The CCM Tacks ASV skates feature an anatomical fit with the AttackFrame 2 quarter package and Speedblade XS holder for optimal performance. In comparison, the Bauer Vapor X2.9 skates prioritize speed and agility with a thermoformable boot, tapered fit design, and Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder. On the other hand, the True TF9 skates prioritize comfort and a custom fit with the True Hockey custom-fit process, Trueform composite boot, and BRT blade holders. Players should consider their playing style, foot shape, and preferences for fit and performance when deciding between these models.


### Progression:

Since the AS-V is a recent release, specific year-over-year upgrades are uncommon. However, subtle upgrades from the previous year and previous AS3 models includes: 



* The AS-V is upgraded with its highly advanced One-Piece Boot Power technology. 
* All new level of comfort and protection due to the Asymmetrical Tritech Tongue with D30 lite foam. 
* Improved tendon guard with fiberglass to increase range of motion for fuller strides and increased skating power. 
* Improved spring-lock system that tightly secures the blade to the holder and makes swapping out blades more efficient. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The one-piece composite boot is stiff and lightweight, providing excellent energy transfer with every push. I noticed a significant difference in my skating speed and agility after switching to the AS-V. They feel very responsive on the ice.
* The one-piece boot on these skates provides a good balance of stiffness for performance and comfort. The multi-density foam core seem to help with the break-in period, making them comfortable to wear for long practices. 
* The AS-V is out of this world for comfort in the wide. They have fixed the low volume and the toe cap so no longer rubbing on the top of the foot. I knew these were great as soon as I put them on. I’m glad I didn't settle for the other skates and waited for these to come out. 

CONS:



* For sure a longer break-in period due to the stiffness of the boot. I had some ankle soreness during the first few weeks of use.
* The AS-V skates don't offer as many customization options as some other high-end models. The liner is not fully heat-moldable like some other skates. 
* I am worried about the blade holder system. They come with plastic insert. Took out and tried to put in V-Steel. Could not get to go in.

JetSpeed FT1

### Product Description

JetSpeed FT1 skates utilize the latest CCM technologies for a light, balanced skate that’s built for speed. The new RocketFrame boot design with LiteFrame 360 Technology is a one-pice construction that fits around and under the foot to eliminate the need for an outsole.  Heat moldable, the boot eliminates empty space and provides direct energy transfer. The TotalDri Pro liner is a lightweight wicking material with vents for dryness and breathability along with durability patches for grip and comfort. The Tri-Tech Tongue is high density felt for protection without limiting mobility, and the SpeedBlade 4.0 holder angles forward for more aggressive turning and cuts. The high quality SpeedBlade Hyperglide steel runner has a hard tempered finish that reduces friction and drag for efficient gliding and increased energy performance.

### Expert Notes 

Aesthetically, this skate is a fan favorite among hockey players who aren’t ashamed to say they care about the look of their gear. JetSpeed FT1 skates are praised for their black contoured boot with subtle red accents. This look is clean and sharp, and is very similar to Bauer’s 1X LE skate. In addition, the soft white tongue is extremely comfortable and adds some flashiness for those players who like to let their tongues fly while they’re skating. As far as performance goes, JetSpeed FT1 skates are super quick on the ice as a result of CCM’s one-piece technology, which produces an unbelievable level of responsiveness with each stride.
