Hi everyone,
I'm interested in learning more about techinal aspects of figure skating blades and how this can improve or hinder one's skating abilities. I've read something about different radii on skaters landing website, but it wasn't so illuminating as I expected. I skate in Mk Pros , 7/16'' ROH. Previously, I had Edea Charme , that has three different segment radii. I really felt the difference between the two blades. Mk Pros feel smoother and faster, shaper during turns but somewhat less "stable" .On the contrary, Edea Charme felt more stable (not in jumps)but difficult to handle sometimes.The rocker is also different and it seems to be the most debated topic when comparing blades, but I think there might be more than that. So I started looking for information about ROH. My question is: if I skated in 7/16",5/8", 3/4", or 1/2" ROH, would I notice any difference? Would some elements be performed better or worse?
Thanks in advance to all of you willing to answer this crazy question
