I'm on 272 w/ Ellipse 0 @ 11/16 and for the most part I've been happy but share some of the frustrations mentioned on this thread - too much steel under toe, long feeling and heavy feet with certain maneuvers. I'm considering trying a Quad profile to help with some agility but I don't want too far of a foward lean and something not too off where I am now. Perhaps Ellipse XS may be the ticket but I don't have the time and money to be playing this game for long.
From what I've heard thus far, everyone feels that by going with an Ellipse profile you should go down 1, if not 2 steps from where you are with Quad. I'm trying these in reverse and while following ProSharps recommended based off size/runner and based off what I mentioned above, should I start with a Quad 1 or a Quad 0? I feel like Prosharps recommended sizes are off for the Ellipse but not for the Quad. Not sure....
I'm kicking myself for not trying the Pulse Ti that came with my Ultrasonics in Quad as we immediately profiled them to match my previous skates. I just found some Step Steel for LS Edge holders new as I miss the step steel from my CCM's but I'm not sure how to profile them at this point. I expect I'll need to go down to 3/4 though....
Thanks
