Let's get some facts out: Fly holder will accept only Fly steel. The center of the holder (steel channel) is skinner than the front and back, kinda like this )( Fly steel will work with Fly or Edge holder. Edge steel cannot fit into Fly holder. Fly holder is stiffer in the front and softer in the heel to allow for more ice contact when coming out of turns. Same idea why they softened the rear outsole on the Hyperlite boot. Overall, it's significantly stiffer than the current EDGE holder. You cannot twist the Fly holder with your hands like you are able to do with the EDGE holder. Same height, same dimensions, some bolting pattern. The trigger is grey, like the current EDGE holder. Weight is the same as the EDGE holder.

Parabolic shape is only on the top of the steel where it engages the holder. I agree, this design seems like a bad idea. I told Bauer this and they quickly dismissed me. Not surprising. The change to the way the blade fits in the holder is supposed to accomplish one main thing. Keeping the steel locked in. Because of the parabolic shape the steel cannot shift forward or backward, thus if you take a shot off the holder the steel is less likely to come out. The trigger mechanism is 100% the same as the EDGE. 100% the same parts and design. I fear putting Fly steel in an EDGE holder would result in the steel twisting in the holder since its not making 100% contact the entire way through.
