It's great seeing how much you have improved. My thought is that you are now beginning to repeat / reinforce bad skating technique. Looking at the way you are skating you are too much on your inside edge and are using the sides of the boot to accelerate with, turn etc. To correct it it doesn't matter how much I or anyone else talks to you about this, this can only be learned by muscle memory experience. The approach I use is to get players to start lacing 1 eyelet down, practice like this then just as you start to feel comfortable, drop another eyelet. Keep going until you get to 4 down (the top 4 eyelets not laced). At this stage your ankles have no support from the boot, they have to hold you upright and you have to be skating on top of the blade or your foot will collapse. Game time you lace back up to where you are comfortable with but every non game skate you drop eyelets. If you really want to see how much impact this has on your skating, next time you have access to a goal on the rink undo 2 or 3 eyelets and then try and push the goal across the rink. If you have good technique you will be fine, if you use the sides of your boot in any way at all as leverage during the push your foot will collapse inwards and you have no power in the push. ps - and on those turns really focus on getting the inside foot more forward. Try stepping into the turn / pushing forward with the inside foot, not just gliding into it.

The ordering system on their site allows you to order one blade if that's what you're looking for. You can also choose the blade finish. Hope this helps.

With our custom program we can alter the lie of your pattern if that is what you want, just need to specify that when you place the custom order through a dealer.

Absolutely! It's funny how working on your golf swing, or Tennis stroke is normal even for people in their 70's but people don't think they can get better at hockey. Get a little shooting pad a few pucks and mess around in the basement for 30 minutes a day and you'll see improvements. I think the biggest set back is skating, it's a little harder to practice for most. I'm trying to develop an off-ice solution with simple exercises that translate to improvements on the ice.
