# 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.
* Molded Ortholite Ultra footbed featuring ADPT memory foam.
* Easily adjust and secure your blades with the Speedblade XS holder featuring an enhanced dial.
* Flex tendon guard featuring carbon construction for better range of motion.


### 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.

Pro Custom

# True Pro Custom Hockey Skates


###  Product Description: 


True Custom Hockey Skates are built with a focus on individual foot anatomy, using a 3D scanning process to create personalized shells for optimal fit and performance. This customization is a significant departure from traditional, off-the-shelf skates, and represents a continued commitment to innovation within the True brand. True was founded by Scott Van Horne, a figure with over 30 years of experience in the custom skate industry, and their focus on individualized performance reflects this heritage.


### Perfect skates for:

every player who values a customized fit


### Key features include:



* Leverages a 3D Anatomical Foot Scan
* Thermoformable material to enhance fit and neuromuscular connection with the ice

### Top competitors comparison: the [Supreme 2S Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-2s-pro/l7798) and the [CCM JetSpeed FT2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft2-2/l11100)

The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro skates offer a comparable level of customization as the True Pro Custom skates, with a focus on power and stability. 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.

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### 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):

### 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.

### 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 CCM Tacks skates are known for their advanced features and performance-driven design, offering excellent support and mobility on the ice. The Bauer Supreme 3S Pro skates focus on power and precision, with an asymmetrical quarter package design for improved ankle stability. The True TF9 skates prioritize a personalized fit and enhanced comfort, with True Hockey's custom-fit system based on individual foot measurements. Overall, players should consider their playing style, preferences, and fit when choosing between these high-quality options.


### Progression:

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 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

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. Plus, the Powerflex tendon allows for a full range of motion for powerful strides.
* By far the most comfortable skate/boot I've ever put my feet into...like warm melted butter.
* For a high-performance stiff boot, these skates are surprisingly lightweight and maneuverable. The Step Steel blades are sharp and give you excellent edge control. They helped me improve my agility on the ice.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely at the top end of the price range. They're a great skate, but you're paying for the premium features and performance.
* These are very stiff skates designed for powerful strides. They require a lot of leg strength to use effectively.
* The stock laces that come with the skates are just okay. I replaced them with a higher quality waxed lace for a better fit and feel. This seems like a minor detail on a high-end skate.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

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.

### Progression:

CCM's JetSpeed hockey skates have had various models and updates over the years, offering speed, performance, and fit improvements. 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.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are top-of-the-line. The composite boot provides incredible stiffness and responsiveness. My strides feel powerful, and the edges hold like nobody's business.  
* The TotalFit Pro+ liner with the asymmetrical tongue offers a fantastic, locked-in fit. The liner feels supportive and comfortable from the start, and the heat-molding capabilities allowed me to get a truly custom fit around my ankles and heels.
* Despite the stiffness for power transfer, the JetSpeed FT4 feels surprisingly lightweight.  The fit allows for good mobility in the ankle, and the boot design helps with quick turns and overall agility. 

CONS:



* These skates are expensive. While the performance is good, the price tag is only realistic for serious players or those with a professional budget. There are very good skates available at lower price points.
* Unfortunately after using these for less than a season, a puck from a shot hit the interior of the skate and created a huge crack in the "one piece boot". I was shocked at how easily these skates split open.
* These skates needed a longer break-in period than I expected, especially compared to other JetSpeed models I’ve tried. It took them a few weeks of use before the skates felt truly comfortable.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

Many people compare the FT4 Pro to the HyperLite, but the FT4 has much more power. It's an incredibly powerful skate, and the fit is perfect. I would do my stride in the FT4 Pro and realized pretty quickly that I needed to watch out! I'm not used to the power. You see a lot of NHL players still using the FT4 Pro. I'll see a player going really fast and think wow, look at that. Oh yeah, they are wearing the JetSpeed FT4 Pro.

### 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.

AS-V

# CCM Tacks AS-V Hockey Skates

### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks AS-V hockey skates are designed for powerful strides and explosiveness on the ice. They feature a one-piece boot for superior energy transfer and a close fit, along with a lightweight composite construction for better mobility. The skates also come with a new Powerflex tendon for increased range of motion and a customizable steel blade option. As part of the long-standing Tacks line, known for its focus on power skating, the AS-V skates offer an elite option for players seeking top-of-the-line performance without the top-of-the-line price tag.


### Perfect skates for:

player who skates 3-4 times per week and is looking for elite features at a lower price point


### Key features include:



* One Piece Boot Power quarter package.
* TotalDri Pro liner featuring Polygiene for high-performance moisture-wicking comfort.
* Customizable fit and comfort with the interchangeable tongue.
* Cushioning and support with the molded CCM Ortholite Ultralite footbed.
* Comfort with memory foam and seamless padding.
* Support and flexibility with the Powerflex Tendon Guard featuring Fiberglass construction.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Vapor X2.9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-x2-9/l60200) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The CCM Tacks ASV skates feature an anatomical fit with the AttackFrame 2 quarter package and Speedblade XS holder for optimal performance. In comparison, the Bauer Vapor X2.9 skates prioritize speed and agility with a thermoformable boot, tapered fit design, and Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder. On the other hand, the True TF9 skates prioritize comfort and a custom fit with the True Hockey custom-fit process, Trueform composite boot, and BRT blade holders. Players should consider their playing style, foot shape, and preferences for fit and performance when deciding between these models.


### Progression:

Since the AS-V is a recent release, specific year-over-year upgrades are uncommon. However, subtle upgrades from the previous year and previous AS3 models includes: 



* The AS-V is upgraded with its highly advanced One-Piece Boot Power technology. 
* All new level of comfort and protection due to the Asymmetrical Tritech Tongue with D30 lite foam. 
* Improved tendon guard with fiberglass to increase range of motion for fuller strides and increased skating power. 
* Improved spring-lock system that tightly secures the blade to the holder and makes swapping out blades more efficient. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The one-piece composite boot is stiff and lightweight, providing excellent energy transfer with every push. I noticed a significant difference in my skating speed and agility after switching to the AS-V. They feel very responsive on the ice.
* The one-piece boot on these skates provides a good balance of stiffness for performance and comfort. The multi-density foam core seem to help with the break-in period, making them comfortable to wear for long practices. 
* The AS-V is out of this world for comfort in the wide. They have fixed the low volume and the toe cap so no longer rubbing on the top of the foot. I knew these were great as soon as I put them on. I’m glad I didn't settle for the other skates and waited for these to come out. 

CONS:



* For sure a longer break-in period due to the stiffness of the boot. I had some ankle soreness during the first few weeks of use.
* The AS-V skates don't offer as many customization options as some other high-end models. The liner is not fully heat-moldable like some other skates. 
* I am worried about the blade holder system. They come with plastic insert. Took out and tried to put in V-Steel. Could not get to go in.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The AS-V 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 flexibility 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.

JetSpeed FT1

### Product Description

JetSpeed FT1 skates utilize the latest CCM technologies for a light, balanced skate that’s built for speed. The new RocketFrame boot design with LiteFrame 360 Technology is a one-pice construction that fits around and under the foot to eliminate the need for an outsole.  Heat moldable, the boot eliminates empty space and provides direct energy transfer. The TotalDri Pro liner is a lightweight wicking material with vents for dryness and breathability along with durability patches for grip and comfort. The Tri-Tech Tongue is high density felt for protection without limiting mobility, and the SpeedBlade 4.0 holder angles forward for more aggressive turning and cuts. The high quality SpeedBlade Hyperglide steel runner has a hard tempered finish that reduces friction and drag for efficient gliding and increased energy performance.

### Expert Notes 

Aesthetically, this skate is a fan favorite among hockey players who aren’t ashamed to say they care about the look of their gear. JetSpeed FT1 skates are praised for their black contoured boot with subtle red accents. This look is clean and sharp, and is very similar to Bauer’s 1X LE skate. In addition, the soft white tongue is extremely comfortable and adds some flashiness for those players who like to let their tongues fly while they’re skating. As far as performance goes, JetSpeed FT1 skates are super quick on the ice as a result of CCM’s one-piece technology, which produces an unbelievable level of responsiveness with each stride.
