We are here to do a brief review on the latest CCM JetSpeed FT4 Pro ice hockey skates. These are built for the elite hockey players who are looking for a skate that can do it all as it does combine the best elements of both Ribcor and Super Tacks. It’s a part of their three-fit system meaning you can get this in a low, medium, and high volume fit with their three different options and it is available in sizes 4 through 11.5.
CCM JetSpeed FT4 Pro Hockey Skates
Key Features
- We have the best steel in the game right now the stepped black steel that has a unique carbon chrome polished finish that provides incredible edge retention as well as a ton of style points.
- It has that pro-style height that gives you more custom profiling options better edge retention and a more aggressive angle of attack.
- The access holder with the quick-release mechanical dial system allows you to swap out your steel in seconds and this is all connected to the one-piece rocket frame speed composite boot with a full composite midsole.
- So as we know and if you haven’t, this is one of the best materials and constructions in the market today incredibly stiff especially when you compare it to the FT4 ice skates but not as stiff as the Super Tacks line.
- As this is meant for a little bit more of a hybrid style player, it’s very thermal formable but most importantly that one-piece boot is just gonna make you faster.
- There are key reasons why and all of them derive from the lack of the outsole glue and nails that typically are needed when building a boot so without all that material, it lightens the boot.
- It reduces the extra material that separates your foot from the ice so it increases your energy transfer and it gives you a much more connected feel between your foot with the ice.
- Since that boot wraps underneath the foot from the bottom to the sides, it gives you a much more anatomically correct fit especially when you go ahead and bake these so a huge look as well as the visual update this year too.
- Now with all of this stiffness, they went ahead and added extra plush ankle pads so giving a hockey player a great feel, especially for those players who are playing in tournaments or on the ice four or five times a week alleviates that high ankle abrasion.
- The CCM JetSpeed FT4 Pro Skates have a low profile facing that helps to reduce a little bit of the weight and gives it a great modern look.
- There is also a new asymmetrical toe cap so, with reduced internal volume, you feel much more connected with the ice as well.
- Ultimately, your feet don’t feel like they’re swimming they’re sloppy inside, they feel nice, connected, and always keep you locked in.
Tongue
Getting into the tongue, this is their two-piece asymmetrical metatomic tongue. It’s very traditional for the Jet Speed line but this year it has much more forward flex so for those players getting into a real aggressive deep knee bend over the tops of balls of their feet, it’s going to easily allow them to do that without compromising any protection for the top of the foot since you have that thick felt and injected foams all the way throughout.
Liner
Another cool feature of CCM JetSpeed FT4 Pro Skates is their reinforced total dry liner that has a very soft feel to the touch.
There’s a little bit of a grippy texture, especially in key locations like on the tendon guard but more importantly, down into the boot helps keep you locked in especially at the end of the game when you’re sweaty just making sure that you’re getting every ounce of power out of each stride.
Padded Foam
They have oversized anti-abrasion pads with a big investment in a skate like this FT4 Pro to ensure that your boot lasts as long as possible so great to see them do that there
Also, they incorporate oversized ADPT comfort memory foam material that feels incredible like a dream right out of the box but go ahead and bake these bad boys and they’re going to give you that custom pro-inspired feel before you ever hit the ice.
Weight
Come in at just under 900 grams at 899 in the senior size 9 skate. This is built to give you some incredible power and agility.
