Except you kind of already did. As I said, I have zero dog in this fight, just a very different experience than you.
Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion on someone else. However, It's not productive, nor on topic, to continue this part of the discussion here.
I am scheduled to have a game next week at the NESC, and will have my skates done by the Sparx machine to see how I like it. They somewhat need a sharpening right now. However, I have games tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday. So, I am going to hold off until I am at that rink next week to get them done.
As stated earlier in this topic, I had them done by the Sparx booth at the New England Pond Hockey Classic last year. I believe it too tough to gauge how a sharpening feels playing on rough pond ice, as opposed to indoor ice. So we'll see.
