@kkskate Hey Anthony, any chance you can do an analysis or post some pics of the elipse1 skate template on top of a quad1 and a quad 0.5 template or vice versa? You did the ellipse1 profile on my 288 step steel blades for my grafs and I love the feeling of stability and speed in the middle and rear portions of my blades. I've gotten over and adjusted to the catching of my front toe area while skating, but i feel like i have a huge desire for a little more aggressive radius in the front 1/3rd of the blade. I am curious if quad 1 or quad 0.5 will give me what i want. As i know it, the quad1 is 6'-9'-12'-15' and the quad 0.5 is 8'-10'-12'-14'. I just want to see if we can determine what the ellpise1 is closest to in terms of middle and rear portion of the blade profile and if either or both quads can give me that little more aggressive front radius. Hopefully I can choose one and then send it in to you for profiling.

Purchased it and tried it in a beer league playoff game Sunday. full disclosure my TJ is very similar to how Kaliyev tapes his blade. Maybe 4/5 passes toward the toe only. I purchased the 2 pack and cut about 60% of the forehand off and kept the back hand oem style. Using a Bauer S19 league stick. very easy application, goes on like a giant sticker. I cleaned the blade with some brake cleaner, wiped it off and let dry for 10 mins (I’m in automotive, I’m very confident you don’t even have to do that I just have a bunch lying around) being a roller player as a kid I am kind of used to not having tape on the bottom. The bottom of the blade not having friction to most people will be WEIRD. I noticed it was slightly lighter but wasn’t that noticeable. Got a goal and my shots were on point all night, ran into a good goalie tbh. I got some scratches on my forehand but all cosmetic blemishes after a hard fought 7-0 game. Definitely worth a shot if you have the money or are like me and are always looking for a little extra edge! Also, I whole heartedly agree with the good quality tape comment. Cheap tape SUCKS!

A $400 helmet will reduce concussions better than a normal helmet. .....because the buyer will have less money to spend on actually playing. Finally, a groundbreaking innovation in helmet safety.
