Bauer Supreme 3S Pro Hockey Skates
Product Description:
The Bauer Supreme 3S Pro hockey skates are designed for skilled players who want a skate that offers a good balance of comfort and performance. The skates feature a 3D Curv composite boot that is lightweight and thermoformable for a custom fit. The boot has a power-cut design that helps to improve ankle stability and power transfer. The skates also have a 13-foot radius blade that is designed for good edge control and maneuverability. Overall, the Bauer Supreme 3S Pro skates are a good option for hockey players who are looking for a comfortable and high-performance skate.
The Bauer Supreme line has been a popular choice for hockey players for many years, and the 3S Pro skates are the latest addition to the line. The skates are designed to be more comfortable and forgiving than previous models in the line, while still offering good performance.
Perfect skates for:
A skilled player who wants added comfort.
Key features include:
- The Flex Tendon Guard enables an expanded range of motion with each stride
- A symmetrical taper provides support for straight-line speed
- Power Cut enhances foot stability with increased wrap
- Improved forward flex range of motion, facilitating smoother strides.
- The integrated outsole delivers heightened energy transfer for greater push-off power.
- Increased ice contact and seamless transitions from back to front, with a balance point towards the back for a more neutral take-off feel.
The Bauer Supreme 3S Pro emphasizes power and stability with its anatomical fit and a versatile Tuuk LS Pulse TI blade, providing excellent energy transfer. On the other hand, the CCM Jetspeed FT2 focuses on agility and acceleration, boasting the RocketFrame Composite quarter package and SpeedBlade XS holder for quick turns and explosive strides. Meanwhile, the True TF9 combines lightweight construction with a thermoformable boot, ensuring a personalized fit and heightened responsiveness.
Progression:
The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro was a top-of-the-line skate in the Supreme line before the 3S Pro. Key improvements in the 3S Pro over the 2S Pro are:
- Fit: The Performance Fit System allows for a more personalized fit compared to the three-width option system in the 2S Pro.
- Performance: The 3S Pro features advancements in energy transfer, edge control, and overall responsiveness.
- Weight: The 3S Pro is slightly lighter due to material and construction refinements.
What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)
PROS:
- Thanks to the Tuuk LS Pulse TI blade and the skate's rigid construction, I have exceptional power transfer. I can go really fast, and my strides feel really powerful.
- Super comfortable. The thermoformable Curv Composite boot is awesome. The skate molded to my foot over time, providing a snug fit with no pressure points.
- Best skates I have ever used. The fit is perfect no lace bite at all.
CONS:
- These skates are not wide enough. I thought the tight pressure in my toe would go away, but it's actually worse. I should have gone with custom skates.
- They feel heavy… almost clunky when I’m on the ice.
- These skates are narrower than I like, and I will likely have to have them punched out. I am unimpressed with the profiled blade; I like the black series blades better.
Similar to the 3S, the Pro version has even more bells and whistles. It features the classic pro tongue with molded inserts for a customized fit. It still has the classic Supreme composite boot and higher-level comfort foam. The higher the level of skate, the more comfort in the foam, and usually, the less time it takes to break in. You still see the 3S Pro in the NHL, and they hold up well. You can also quickly change out the blades and keep going. Players use them for years without any kind of loss in performance in terms of power.
