E-Pro to Speed Blade

Recommended Posts

I have a pair of ccm CLs and the e-pro holder broke (from a slap shot). Hockey Monkey used the speed holder for warranty replacement.

I gave it an honest go skating in the new speed holder for a few months. I play 2-3 times per week.

While some aspects of my skating were improved, like straight forward speed and tighter turns, I just could not adjust to other aspects: crossovers and starts/stops. sometimes I felt like I was swimming in them.

If you can get them for cheap and your LHS can change them out for you quickly go ahead and give it a go. But I wouldn't pay retail for them and I am skeptical about buying ccm/rbk specifically due to the new holder.

How did it effect your backward skating? I'm guessing it pitched you forward a little.

As I recall, the Speed Blade was designed to be similar to Tuuk as far as factory pitch and having a 9' radius instead of the stock 10' of the EPro.
