That makes sense why I've been missing the top end speed. Probably some stability as well. That's profile sounds really interesting. I'd definitely give it a try.

Hey! I am looking for recommendations for profiling. My local shop hasn't been very helpful simply because they only have one option (dual radius 9.5/10.5 with a 1.5mm forward drop). A few months ago I bought new skates, True TF7, size 9.5, shift holder 280. Stock profile I felt stuck going in a straight line, going into and coming out of tight turns. I've found that I had to go to a 7/8" hollow which helped. I went to the 9.5/10.5 with a 1.5mm forward drop, I find it like skating in quick sand in corners (hard to snap out of corners, the speed doesn't carry), and top speed isn't there. I'd gladly do maximum edge again but the local shop has stopped doing maximum edge sharpening. Any recommendations what I should try first? From the little bit of research I feel like the ellipse 0 or 1 is a good start. Thoughts?

A few months ago I bought new skates, True TF7, size 9.5, shift holder 280. Coming from Bauer Nexus 6000, 9.5, 280 holders. My old skates had a maximum edge profile that I loved, lots of control in cornering, and decent speed. Stock profile I felt stuck going in a straight line, going into and coming out of tight turns. Went to the 9.5/10.5 with a 1.5mm forward drop, I find it like skating in quick sand in corners (hard to snap out of corners, the speed doesn't carry), and top speed isn't there.

Profile - Quad 2 Steel – Step Steel ST Blades, 280 LS Edge holders Hollow – 3/4" Skates - Bauer Nexus 8000 About Me – Playing hockey regularly for 15 years. Play twice a week. I started playing at age 8, played until 15, then stopped playing for 6 years. Picked the game back up as an adult, and have been playing regularly for the last 15 years. Play twice a week. I first got my skates profiled 7 years ago. I tried the Maximum Edge with 9' radius for forwards. I don't have a review for that because the change was made too long ago to have a objective review. Review - Played for 5months, twice per week. Overall: Acceleration: The blade felt like it lacked forward pitch. It almost felt like it had backwards pitch. This hurt my overall acceleration. I had to lean forward more than normal. Mobility: I felt very locked in to the path of the skate. It felt hard to turn. I had to use a lot of effort to initiate turn and the maintain the turn path. Stability: I felt very comfortable on the ice with this profile. I felt very stable while standing, gliding and skating in a straight path. Speed: The length of the useable portion of the blade definitely helped my overall speed. It took me longer to get to my top speed but felt much faster and I could glide for a long time. Overall: I didn't like the locked in feel of the blade and the . I loved the speed but the step back in acceleration and mobility really hurt my game. Acceleration - 3 Mobility - 3 Stability – 4.5 Speed – 4.5 Profiles I've tried rated best to worst: 1. Maximum edge 9' radius 2. Quad 2
