I've played one game in them. Overall, I can feel the difference from using Marsblade in comparison to what I was before (Tour Thor EX1's with Labeda Hum'er Eviction frames). Not surprising because later wasn't a Hi-Lo setup (was running all 80mm). That being said, my edge work felt much more similar to ice hockey when using Marsblades. I only play inline once a week so ice hockey will always take priority for me. And with that being the case, the plastic frame it's durability isn't as big as a concern for me. I had an old pair of skates and wanted to get back into playing inline. I put my money into these holders. I can see if I played inline all the time that I may just pass on Marsblade all together. Fortunately, that isn't the case for me. Looking forward to give more feedback as time goes on.
