Progression of the Tacks AS-V Pro
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
| 👍 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. |
| Crisco-soft. Most comfortable boot I've used. |
| The Step Steel blades are great and give you excellent edge control. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Flimsy in spots (looking at you, tongue), with sneaky durability issues. Avoid. |
| Pretty comfortable, but dug into my ankle more than I'd expect from an ultra-expensive skate. |
| The stock laces that come with the skates are pretty meh. Ended up replacing them with a higher quality waxed lace. |
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.
