I think I am narrowing my search - because I am just playing once a week, in a parking lot, for fun, I don't think I can justify the top of the line. I am not at a level where top of the line will elevate me to the next level - I need more practice than equipment. By the same token, I want to improve and I don't want skates that hold me back. I am hoping to try on a tour G60 and a Mission D3, and maybe the G80 (although the sensor sounds great I am somewhat concerned about wheel availability) and the D2, and go by what feels best. Am I on track? (Yes, I called Hockey Giant and asked about the Big Daddys/Stubbies! I was concerned about the width, and the guy tried to steer me to the Nexed Vital Atoms, said it was a better skate in that price range. I said I didn't really want to get involved with the 2 degree thing, he didn't know what I was talking about . . . kind of turned me off. Now that I have my tax relief check burning a hole in my pocket I am raising my sights slightly.)
My current skates are falling apart, but are there any significant savings if I can hold out for a few months? That is, do rollers get cheaper when ice starts, or when the 2004s come out (when?)? Thanks yet again guys!
