CCM ASV Pro Total Custom Plus Hockey Skates Full Options vs Retail ASV Pro Review

Great video. One thing is a bit confusing. Tommy (hope I am writing this right) used to say in the video that the Ribcor 100k skates are much better than the stiff Tacks. Now he has a custom ASV Tacks?

[@aborum75]

I think he compared the Ribcor 100K to the AS3 Pros, but am not sure. Remember to take everything said in these videos with a healthy dose of salt.

Skates I'd agree on. I've been skating on Bauer's for ages. The single piece boot design of CCM feels much more high end than Bauer's design.

[@Acyclistandhockeysnob]

@@gcs8889 I've been in the Mono Boot tacks since 2016. Had my AS3 skates stolen a couple of weeks ago and had to buy a pair of Vapor 3x pros and honestly can't tell the difference. And I skate 4 nights a week.

[@Acyclistandhockeysnob]

So you guys posted about most players including yourself don't need the pro model skates, so why do you keep talking about pro level skates and never talk about the next step down?

[@jeffreyromero9613]

I didn’t get the plus but I got the total custom and it was a world of difference vs the retail. My foot is so comfortable in my skates. Definitely worth the money if you’re able to afford it.

[@aborum75]

What was the extra charge over retail?

[@aborum75]

Care to comment on the price of custom vs. retail pricing? Need to replace a set of AS3 Pros as the carbon is starting to crack on the left side of the left boot (3 years worth of heavy duty use, so am quite happy with the lifetime).

[@Hartwell10]

@@aborum75 customs are roughly $200 more than the retail version. And the total custom plus are about $400 extra. This is speaking in CAD

[@aborum75]

@@Hartwell10 planning on going to sweden to order a custom set of FT6 Pro soon as the store just notified me they're about ready to take orders.

[@Mackie17]

Where do you even find the options for spec? I can't find a custom option anywhere on CCM's website.

[@WhateverIsayIswrong]

You guys should do a tier list of all the sticks or skates released during 2022.

[@bfish9700]

I kinda want to have the scan done. I've been skating out a lot more than goalie and I have short wide feet. The wide fit actually works the best of any retail skates I've worn but I'd love to see what they say.

[@JC27813]

How do you like the asymmetrical setup? That's something I considered for my pair, but decided against it in the end.

[@BecomeEliteHockey]

Congrats on 14 years!!

[@Hartwell10]

Awesome video! I've been waiting to hear your review on the custom CCM's since seeing Tommy wear them in previous videos. Now I'm looking to get my own pair of custom ASV pros ASAP

HI, I am curious about how you and Tommy feel about the retail pair of AS V pro. If possible please make a review of using the skates.

[@cjmixer99]

I wish this video was available a couple months ago! I wonder if the CCM ordering software is different in the UK compared to the US? I placed an order for the Total Custom Plus on the ASV Pro, and the retail location didn't show the look of my skate OR offer as many customized options (unless the rep just wasn't aware of those). I also had to specifically request the ankle cut that is exactly like yours in the video (straight across, and not angled down like the retail ASV skate). However I also didn't get the new flexible tendon guard, and they installed a much smaller and stiff tendon guard...??? Great video though! Anyone considering the custom version MUST watch this. Super helpful. *And my personal vote on the two custom skates, I prefer Chris's version ;-) Both look great though! Cheers gents

[@PariniWeenie]

how does one go about ordering a pair of these?

[@MotorhuisLangezwaag]

I am in for custom plus also. But still have questions. Wat is the advantage with a symmetrical? Higher boot and lower laces up front and down below. I have always problem with forward stretch my tong is to stiff I think so I have my laces on top not tight. But I have rather a less stiffer tong. So I am gone try a few of them to see what’s the difference. Why didn’t you guys asked for that. If a 4 mm is better for skating but less protective then I have a hard choice. Greetings Mikis from holland.

[@paull4968]

I love the ability to fit the skates to the person. I have a high instep and the regular boot does not lace up tight. The wide skates are too big for my foot. So hard to find the right skates and try on so many to get that right fit. I am a low level player but it helps to have the right fit. It is like basketball shoes before there were many choices. Skates did not give you this. You have to adjust the size of the skate, width of the skates. And they bake them to get the best fit. I would rather spend the money to get that custom fit. So much better. Awesome video. I will be saving up for this when this skate I am in breaks down and needs to be replace.

[@SuperSokol7]

They scanned his feet and should know what skate is good for him.

[@straighttimestirrups]

That confused me too! You’d think the scan would dictate which size and shape would be the correct ones and pre-selected.

[@SuperSokol7]

​@@straighttimestirrupsHe gets his foot scanned and also asks what his skate size is. The scan should tell you what is the best shape and size fits you best.

[@RoNe-g2l]

Does anybody have experience during the baking process of retail AS-V PRO skates that also outer carbon composite shell can be molded? Or just inner foam can be molded? Thx

[@whutzzzup]

need to mold before using? ccm custom vs bauer custom vs true custom?

[@thisisethansworld7833]

What was the additional cost from Custom to Custom Plus?

[@Scotstrooper]

When are you going to review the Bauer Mach skates?

[@twelvegage6894]

Now you guys should do true custom vs ccm total custom. I am trying to decide which one to get.

[@JC27813]

I definitely prefer Chris's colourway to Tommy's and the retail gold is terrible in my opinion. I went with blue and grey personally.

[@frankmomma]

How did you customize the "Comfort edge" around the ankle at the top of the boot? I have been asking my local Pure hockey shop & they said this isn't an option with the custom skates. I have ton of pain in this location & 1 of the main reasons I am looking at custom skates is to get this resolved. To not be able to customize or add more padding to this portion of the skate I find to be ridiculous. Then looking at your skate, it seems there is more padding & better shape than the retail version.

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

That’s how all the custom skates will come. The custom boot is made in North America. The retail is made is Asia. Different materials and the neck of the skate is a totally different shape

[@frankmomma]

@@HockeyTutorialOfficial Wow this would change everything. That's the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on these skates yet.

[@SuperSokol7]

Will you have to bake them?

[@u.e.u.e.]

That's the perfect skate for YOU! 😃👍 I prefer for ME black/yellow/gold, like Bauer/Graf design with a much softer tongue and yellow/black waxed laces. 😉

[@romahnae]

Prefer the beefy look of your skates, mainly because of the tongue. I need a thick tongue just like that. Prefer tommy’s color combo, though. Prefer the overall look of the retail than both custom skates. If i were to do custom, definitely picking that k pro tongue, some donuts, increase the boot height to retail or maybe just a lil higher like the 100ks, right skate 8.3”, left skate 8.5”thick waxed 132” laces, ccm logos in green, with golden-yellow accents.

[@leinbachjon]

Do a video on the true catalyst custom vs the true svh customs.

[@marklee428]

One of the best videos yet. I have a new pair of total custom plus and I had to make some decisions. Seeing you guys make some different choices gives me some closure on if I made the right choices. Great work. Custom 76> all the rest
