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.

### 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.
