Hi all,
My daughter is 11yo, and currently skates in Edea Icefly’s with Gold Seal blades. She is has most double jumps (except double axel), but she cannot seem to consistently fully rotate them. From a spin perspective, she usually gets level 3’s but working toward level 4 (so area for improvement there).
I have been told by a fitter she should consider switching to gold stars if she continues to have difficulty rotating. But everything I read seems to suggest gold stars better for spins?
I was wondering if anyone has experience with gold stars helping improve jumps? Any other blade recommendations to consider? We have been told by coaches to consider paramount as well since she’s small.
Thanks in advance for the advice!
