YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!So I finally got my blades changed from Matrix Legacy to Coronation Ace today. I have to say this is the best decision I’ve made so far since I’ve started skating. Just for reference again my boots are Jackson Premiere with the fusion heel.
I was a bit shaky today on the ice but it was mostly nerves. After 5 mins I felt completely fine - my nerves calmed down when I realized the blade change adjustment period won’t be so bad.
Edge work feels way better. I don’t feel like I’m forcing my 3 turns anymore. When I’m on my inside edge I’m not in my outside edge. Backwards inside edges were actually nice for once! Backwards outside edge - wow I can lean and get into the curve.
My first spin was quite wonky because I didn’t know where the rocker was. 2nd spin was nice and centered. 3rd spin was wonky at first but then I was actually able to correct it.
I couldn’t do any jumps today besides a waltz because I was in a public session. Because of the smaller rocker I realized I had to point my toes more when I land to get on the toe pick. Once I did this it was completely fine.
I honestly couldn’t be happier with the change. I can update more tomorrow when I see my coach.
