Just make sure to let the shop doing the work to adjust for the forward pitch thats already been applied in a previous profile. Usually, they adjust the profile on the ProSharp to account for such.

Be careful with how many times you profile.... Many "templates" have a forward pitch incorporated into them and if you keep profiling the same set of steel, and the shop doing the work doesn't account for such by adding a negative pitch, you are adding more forward pitch every single time you profile. I found this out myself the hard way a long time ago when I decided to profile my personal set of steel 5 times and I felt like I was sliding down the face of a cliff. This is something that many shops dont take into consideration as its nothing you can see by eye unless you know to look for it.

No need for that...I was making light of the situation. To be fair, while I've been sharpening skates for almost 20 years, Nicholas can most likely answer Prosharp-specific questions better than me at this point, as he's put more guys in them. I'm still learning it all, and doing our project will allow me (and everyone to see) how different profiles affect different skaters - somewhat of a database.

What JR, er, Nicholas...LOL...said is indeed correct. You need to start over again. Too many times I would see people want the exact same thing they had on their old (different model) skates, not realizing that the boot pitch and rake were completely different on the new ones. I realize that in your case you've been trying to compensate for the pitch, but I don't understand why the Quads were pitched additionally, when they're already pitched forward. This is where a heel lift would've come in handy, because your steel keeps getting lower and lower. Curious to see a picture of the blade - can you provide that? We're waiting for more templates from Prosharp before we can start our project, but someone like you would be a very good candidate.

Way too much to read here. Let's bring this to the basics. When using the factory profile of 10' what do you not like?
