The pros won't be wrong about this, but I'm glad they've tried it out before I do.
The graphic actually makes me fearful of not being able to control the rate of stopping, as though I'd somehow lose the ability to modulate the depth of edge applied to/into the ice.
I am also worried about how long a sharpening like this would last (something the pros won't care about). I can go half a no-hit season with a traditional sharpening and higher end blades, so long as there is no blade-to-blade contact to flatten an edge.
With the new process, I bet any grit on the bench is going to nick up blades quickly.
- zach 17y agoI bet. If it makes a significant difference but requires more waiting at the pro shop, I won't complain too much. I've never decided on a hollow I like (5/8 is just a little too slippery), so the ability to customize a little more is very appealing. I really like stories of competitive-edge entrepreneurs in professional sports. Products that provide a demonstrable advantage, whether in technology or salary analysis or ticket pricing, seem to become a hot commodity on their own merits.
- hotpockets 17y agoI think it provides a mild but noticeable difference. More grip on turns mainly, and slightly more glide. I can't comment on durability as I've only used it twice so far.
