I bought the Jetspeed Control two weeks ago of sideline swap and I was looking for review video for it here in the channel before buying since it sounded and was priced too good to be true however I’m in love and it’s a great pair of wheels definitely a great choice

Does the flexible front of the bladetech blade nullify the stiffness of the powerfly? I like that the powerfly won't have a puck or stick get stuck in the hole, but I do worry about them breaking if a shot hits the middle of the runner. Ordered some SVH skates unmounted. I don't like that the True holders dont match holes with the other brands. If you don't like the holder after mounting, you have hurt the structure of the boot some.

Speaking to a kit manager in the elite league (UK) the major problem with the new Bauer holder if that if the centre bar snaps, the whole holder is gone, they have had to replace 7 holders so far into the season.

I love my ft 6 skates, but getting the blade out is a pain in the ass. The quick release from bauer is better. Neither me nor my son ever had our Steele pop out.

@scottsorbie7527 5 ай бұрын

I've had both of my XS holders (original design with small dial) break right through the dial area of the holder. Since I am replacing them with the updated design I didn't change the holder as I didn't want to also update my steel. I'm a beer league weekend warrior and wish they offered an option without a quick change blade for improved durability.

Are blade techs compatible with the power fly holder, in terms of the beveled steel referenced in the video?

@drewgonzalves691 5 күн бұрын

Do the holes for the Bauer and True holder match up? Or would I have to drill new holes if I wanted to put Bauer holders on True skates?

@martindemers6540 5 ай бұрын

The Bauer holder pitch are way more recline forward (on your toes). The difference in feeling when you skate is HUGE when you compare the two holders(Xs vs PF X). Any intermediate, advanced or skilled skater would see the difference in one stride.

@joeschmo2693 4 ай бұрын

OK, my new skates have Light Speed Edge holders. They are supposed to accept new and old blades - does this mean they have the non beveled feature, and the TIs will be sloppy?

@sand_is_greaney 7 ай бұрын

Great video Chris! I have 2 quick questions: first is the powerfly holder any lighter than the LS Edge that they’re replacing? When I first saw the powerflys that’s what I thought they were made for but since it wasn’t touched upon in the video, I’m guessing that’s not the case. Secondly, how recently did bladetech surpass Step’s quality? Step was always the king of steel but now that their owned by CCM I was wondering if that’s changed. Thanks!

From my experience STEP is still fantastic, Pulse Ti, and BladeTech are just as good. They all compete with each other and all hold fantastic edges

I've been waiting for this, I have studied and worked with all the holders for years now across all skill levels. Bauer's is hands down the fastest and most convenient to use, but also the most likely to fail. CCM's is the least likely to fail, but does require more time and effort, especially if they're cold. True is kind of the worst of both combined. You need a tool and it's plastic based, which I have seen get soft. Admittedly I haven't seen one break, but I have seen them lead to some blade clicking or wobble.

@yellowsnowman9157 7 ай бұрын

True doesn't need a tool. You put the lace end through the hole and pull back. The lace is the tool. It's actually faster and easier than the CCM

@Pokemonmaster150b 6 ай бұрын

I've noticed that a lot of NHLers who use CCM's and True's modify their skates to use Bauer's holders since it's easier to change the steel on the fly during a game.

Absolutely many many pros go that route. Alex Ovechkin, for example has never used ccm holders he always uses TUUK. Brent burns is another and Carl

@Pokemonmaster150b 6 ай бұрын

I feel like a lot of CCM and True users in the NHL have their skates modified to use Bauer's TUUK Lightspeed Edge, since it's quicker and easier for equipment personnel to change their steel on the fly using the TUUK.

Ever notice tuuk holsters snap and bend more than the xs? Or how xs holsters may break/indent the boot over a longer period of time?

Wait? At about the 14:00 mark you state that "Bladetech flex fit runners will fit any of the quick release holder sytems out there....whether it's from CCM, True or from Baur". Is that correct? It looks like the flex fit runners would only fit CCM & Bauer where the True runners have a very large protruding piece. Am I wrong?

Honestly, most beer leaguers shouldn’t allow these variables into their play. Don’t be/get mental. Just play. I’ve played enough USTA tennis, the tennis equivalent of a hockey beer league, and watched a guy hit a bad shot, run to his bag, pick a 2nd racket, and hit another bad shot. Just play. If you care about these holders, look at the MTBF (mean time before failure) and ease of use. I had the older Bauer trigger version and after one defensive blocked shot the spring came undone and it broke.

@exploited8779 7 ай бұрын

CCM 100% has the best blade lock, nothing is better then the mechanical lock with the dial doesn’t rely on springs or tension just detents and a screw far better then the true and infinitely better then bauer, how many CCM blades have popped out in the NHL vs bauer, side not I’ve never seen a true pop out either but would still prefer the mechanical action of the CCM, there’s no way it can just pop out with out completely breaking.

@staceyotten5312 7 ай бұрын

My son's (speedblade xs) popped out during a game last year. They were able to rig it to work, but I ended up having to get a new holder.

@yellowsnowman9157 7 ай бұрын

True are tool-less as well. The hole is desogned to put the skate lace througu the hole and pull back. No tool needed and its easy as can be.

@bobholst874 6 ай бұрын

I don't care which holder anyone uses! The glaring & baffling spot for me is why in the world is there not some kind of edge or pick (toe pick) that would emerge when the blade ejects on the ice. I know nobody will send me a plug nickel for the idea but when you become completely wothless and you can't stand up and get to the bench, the benefit of changeable blades is negligeable. This to me seems ridiculous!

I feel like the new Bauer holder is very vulnerable to being knocked out by a stick or skate... given how often these blades pop out in games, I'm surprised that they went in this direction to be honest. I wouldn't try to pick those up until at least a few years when they iron out the kinks.

I had the old Bauer trigger model. Blocked a shot and the spring mechanism went caput. Switched to CCM and I haven’t had a problem since.
