Is there any kind of concrete study to justify quad profiles, or are we just relying on the word of ProSharp and those who promote it, anecdotal evidence, and to a certain extent placebo effect? In a Google search I even came across some who've tried it and felt it's mostly a gimmick. Who knows, maybe it can even be detrimental if you're muscle memory is continually adjusting from one radius to another depending on what area of the blade your weight is on. I doubt that, but the skeptic in me wonders if it isn't just a solution looking for a problem, or just good marketing. Sometimes we do things just because we can. Maybe just a single profile with the right pitch is just as good. I mean I have all the speed and agility that I need with a simple 10' profile with neutral pitch, but I worked on my skating to get it rather than chasing new profiles. I just wonder if exploring quad profiles is worth my time.

Profiling machines are becoming common place in the NHL. Which machine is being used usually comes down to the Equipment Manger's preference.

These are hitting the ice for the first time tomorrow. CCM Ultra Tacks with blacked out yellow accents on the quarters (I hate flashy skates), 4mm shim in the heel, ProSharp QuadZero profile and 5/8 ROH EDIT: 1 1/8 ROH https://drive.google.com/open?id=1S4fmJDLaV6uCBYv_h5HetpQ2CCbVuM8x
