Skates That Are Too Sharp
How do I know if my blades are too sharp?
You will know your blades are too sharp if the blades chatter when you try to stop.
What are the disadvantages of skates that are too sharp?
Skates that are too sharp can decrease your skating speed because of how much they dig into the ice.
What is Good Skate Sharpening
A good skate sharpening, is one that works for you. When you go out skating, you should feel confident with your edges and that the flow (glide) of the blade is smooth and easy.
Pro Skate sharpens the skates for many NHL hockey players and world-class figure skaters. Their feedback helps us gain knowledge that we pass on to all of our clients.
Using professional skate sharpening equipment, we are able to customize the sharpening for any use including:
- Hockey Players
- Figure Skaters
- Goalies
- Ice Dancers
- Recreational Skaters
Important factors in the life of a skate sharpening:
- Wearing skate guards is critical in maintaining the life of a skate sharpening. In our experience, using walking guards and blade covers can more than triple the life of a skate sharpening.
- Skating outdoors wears blades much more quickly because of dirt on the ice surface.
