# CCM Jetspeed FT6 Pro Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The CCM Jetspeed FT6 Pro is a high-performance hockey skate designed for players who prioritize speed and agility. It features a one-piece boot construction for a comfortable, game-ready fit and an unparalleled range of motion. The skate also comes with an ADPT comfort tongue for extra forward flexion and a great fit, and a Step Blacksteel blade for better edge life and exceptional gliding abilities.

The Jetspeed line is one of the top lines of hockey skates offered by CCM, a brand with a long and storied history in the sport. CCM was founded in 1900 and has been a leading manufacturer of hockey equipment ever since. The Jetspeed line was introduced in 2014 and has quickly become a favorite among players of all levels.


### Perfect skates for:

A player who skates 4-5+ times per week and needs the elite features of a top of the line skate. 


### Key features include:



* One-Piece boot speed featuring Game Ready Fit.
* RFM Composite and high-end core construction.
* TotalDri Pro+ Liner featuring Polygiene technology.
* Prevent lace-bite and enhance comfort with the ADPT Comfort Tongue featuring Flexmotion.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Vapor 3X Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-3x-pro/l165935) and the [True TF9 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/pro-stock/l305705)

The CCM Jetspeed FT6 Pro, known for its focus on explosive acceleration and powerful strides, faces stiff competition from two rivals: the Bauer Vapor 3X Pro and the True TF9 Pro. Both share a high-performance build, but cater to slightly different styles. The Bauer Vapor 3X Pro mirrors the Jetspeed's focus on powerful skating, utilizing a stiff flex profile and a one-piece boot design for maximum energy transfer. However, the Vapor might offer a slightly more anatomical fit thanks to its Curv composite shell. On the other hand, the True TF9 Pro takes a distinct approach. While still lightweight, it prioritizes a heat-moldable shell for a personalized fit and a slightly more forgiving flex profile. This caters to players who value comfort and agility alongside some power transfer, making it a good choice for those who don't prioritize pure power like the Jetspeed and Vapor.


### Progression:

CCM's JetSpeed hockey skates have had various models and updates over the years, offering improvements in speed, performance, and fit. 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 and the ADPT comfort tongue with Flex motion. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates offer a lot of bang for your buck! The one-piece boot is stiff and responsive, providing excellent power transfer for strong strides. They come with the top-of-the-line SpeedBlade XS runners which offer great edge control. For the price point, they feel like a true pro-level skate.
* The Jetspeed FT6 skates are surprisingly comfortable, even for a high-performance model. The liner is thermoformable, which allows for a customized fit around my ankle for better pressure point distribution and overall comfort.
* You get what you pay for. This high-end CCM is perfect for me. I spent about 2 hours trying to find the perfect fit for my feet; the FT6 was it for me. On the ice, this shines even more.

CONS



* They feel heavy on the feet. I have to get used to how heavy they are... I came from wearing the super light Mach supremes every day, so it’s a big difference.
* While the Game Ready Fit helps, there is a break-in period of a few weeks due to the stiffness of the boot. I’m still having some minor discomfort around the ankles.
* Before you purchase make sure the holders are straight!


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The FT6 Pro is basically the FT4 Pro on steroids. It offers really, really good speed and a bit better comfort than the FT4 Pro. It also has more flexibility and memory foam to prevent lace bite, and it addresses range-of-motion issues. This skate offers speed, power, and a good range of motion. You can really dig in and get that power and still go with the angles.

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 Mach

Vapor Hyperlite 2

# Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 hockey skates are designed for professional and aspiring players who prioritize agility and quickness on the ice. They are the culmination of 25 years of innovation in the Bauer Vapor line, known for its focus on lightweight performance. The skates feature a revolutionary Powerfly holder that flexes and responds to different skating movements, enhancing acceleration, and transitions. This technology is designed to give players an edge in every game situation.


### Perfect skates for:

Elite-level and aspiring pro players who skate every day


### Key features include:



* Choose between Fly-TI or Fly-X steel options for optimal performance.
* Equipped with the PowerFly Holder for secure blade attachment.
* Features the LockFit Pro Liner for a secure and comfortable fit.
* Utilizes the Aerolite 2.0 tongue for lightweight and responsive performance.
* Incorporates Hyperflex eyelets/facing for enhanced flexibility and comfort.
* Constructed with Carbon Curv Composite for lightweight durability and support.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM JetSpeed FT470](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft470/l59164) and the [True TF9 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/pro-stock/l305705)

While all three boast lightweight, one-piece boots for responsiveness, the JetSpeed leans towards a stiffer flex for powerful strides, complementing the Vapor's pure agility focus. The True TF9 Pro takes a different approach, prioritizing a lightweight, heat-moldable shell for a custom fit and a more forgiving flex, ideal for players who value comfort and maneuverability over pure power output. Ultimately, the best choice hinges on whether you crave lightning-fast agility (Vapor Hyperlite), a balance of agility and power (JetSpeed), or a focus on lightweight comfort and personalized fit (True).


### Progression:

The popular HyperLite model debuted in 2021 and Bauer continues to build on the design and high-preforming construction of the Vaper. The Hyperlite 2 includes updated features like the PowerFly holder and Aerolite 2.0 Tongue, improved eyelets, and better materias (carbon composite) in the outsole.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS



* These skates are unbelievably light! The one-piece boot and PowerFly holder really make a difference. They feel very agile and responsive on the ice, allowing for quicker turns and faster strides. My skating has definitely improved since switching to the HyperLite 2.
* The HyperLite 2 skates are some of the most comfortable skates I've ever worn. The liner is soft and the foam padding helps eliminate pressure points. The new fit system with variable flex zones seems to conform well to my foot shape.
* Great skates, the 2's are very similar to the original HyperLite's, 2's have a better release to change the steel, and a different tongue.

CONS



* There's no getting around it, these skates are expensive. They're definitely an investment for serious players only.
* A huge issue for me is lacing up because there are NO metal eyelets for the laces. So to tighten, l have to pull on the laces sideways (if l pull straight up there's a good chance the laces will rip through the carbon fiber) making it difficult to get a good grip.
* Paying well over $1k for skates and additional steel, I feel like the skates should really last longer than two years.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

There is not as much difference between the HyperLite and the HyperLite 2 as there was between the Hyperlite and the 2x Pro, but the 2 is really just a lighter skate. More comfort features have been added also, and there is a new locking mechanism. The HyperLite 2 still offers the quick release, but it's a different upgraded style, which makes it easier to switch the steel in and out. The holder itself is different and extremely lightweight.

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.

### Perfect skates for:

- 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.

### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Tacks 9060](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/tacks-9060-2/l10518) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The CCM Tacks 9060 skates offer a balance of performance and value. They incorporate a synthetic composite quarter package for lightweight support and a durable construction.

Bauer also made the X3.7 4% lighter.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* 
* These skates are a perfect option for recreational players or those new to hockey. They're very comfortable, with a good amount of ankle support. The liner is soft and keeps my feet warm. 
* I was impressed by how lightweight these skates are. They feel much more agile than my old pair. The memory foam ankle padding is super comfortable and there's no break-in period needed.
* Holds up well for weekly play. I've been using these skates for a few months now, playing 1-2 times a week, and they're holding up great. The LS1 blades are durable and haven't needed sharpening yet.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely not for competitive players who need top-of-the-line performance. They lack some of the stiffness and responsiveness of more expensive models.
* Not the best for wide feet. I found the fit to be a bit narrow, especially in the toe box. If you have wider feet, these might not be the most comfortable option.
* The tongue on these skates is a little on the thin side. I would have preferred a thicker tongue for more protection against lace bite.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The X3.7 is a middle-tier skate. It's the skate a player would use after a introductory level skate or a lower level like x 2.7. This skate is flexible and agile and has a good amount of comfort, enough that it will last you quite a while as long as you're not skating seven times a week. The X3.7 has a quick release for exchanging blades, so it's meant to be worn for quite a while, longer than the lifespan of a single blade.

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.

### 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 Bauer Supreme 3S Pro skates focus on power and precision, offering an asymmetrical quarter package design for improved ankle support and stability.

These skates also incorporate a two-piece composite quarter construction and a SHIFT holder for improved support and better turning radius.


### Progression:

While the 70K established the core design philosophy for agile skating, the 80K offered minor refinements, and the 100K Pro introduced significant upgrades in boot construction, flex points, holder design, and fit system options.

Key upgrades from the [70K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-70k/l1309) and [80K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-80k/l12074):



* The RibCor 80K skates feature less stitching than the 70K resulting in better energy transfer and improved durability. 
* Upgraded from traditional foam padding in the 70K to memory foram ankle padding in the 80K, improving comfort and fit.
* New SpeedBlade XS holders with a positive-lock dial on the XS1 holders. Tools are no longer required with the 80K to switch out your CCM runners. 

Key upgrades from the [80K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-80k/l12074) and [100K Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-100k-pro/l168685):



* One piece boot design, helping with transferring energy through your leg, skate and ice.
* Updated Fit System with three different fit profiles (tapered, regular, and wide) for a wider range of foot shapes compared to the three-width option system in earlier models.
* Choice between various blade options like the Power CCM XS or Step Steel Black for customization based on player preference.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* Amazing skates for agility! These skates are incredible for forwards who value quick turns and sharp cuts. The one-piece boot flex makes a huge difference in how much you can push into your strides. They are also very comfortable, even after long practices. Highly recommend!
* These skates are super light and feel very responsive on the ice. The BlackSteel blades are sharp and give you a great bite. My skating has gotten a lot more dynamic since I switched to these.
* I was surprised at how affordable these skates were compared to other high-end models. They don't skimp on quality at all. The fit is great and the liner keeps my feet dry.

CONS:



* The break-in period for these skates was a bit longer than I expected. My ankles were pretty sore for the first few weeks.
* These skates run a bit narrow. If you have wide feet, you might want to try a different model.
* Lacing system could be better. The laces that come with the skates are kind of flimsy. I had to replace them with a higher quality pair.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald)](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)

The Ribcor 100K is a top-of-the-line pro model skate. You'll get the most comfort and super lightweight durability with this skate. The 100K is really known for its agility.

Supreme 1S

### Product Description 

Built for explosive power and speed, the Supreme 1S skates are one of Bauer’s top-of-the-line high performance skates. 1S skates offer an anatomical fit on the ankle and heel for exceptional comfort and maximum energy transfer, while the lightweight Anaform ankle padding contours to your foot.

The tool free Tuuk Lightspeed Edge Holders help support the Fusion Edge runners, all of which is designed to enable tight turns and promote a longer edge life. 

### Expert Notes

Bauer 1S Skates are the industry leaders in custom stock skates. Bauer skates feature interchangeable tongue flexes, and its innovative C-Flex tendon guard. For the 1S, the newly improved C-Flex tendon guards allow for increased flex throughout your entire stride, so you add more power for the entire time that your skates are in contact with the ice. The three different stiffness options for the tendon guard allow you to customize your skates to your exact preferences. Skates from the Supreme line are a little wider than those from the Vapor line, so if you have a characteristically wide foot, you should explore Supreme skates rather than Vapor skates.

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:

### 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.
