The store you went to does have the 100/50 all of them do. As for the washing out sometimes you get that when your profile needs to be adjusted. This was brought up when Cory Stillman first tried it. he had a similar feeling and once the profile was adjusted it was right back to feeling like it did with a reg ROH except with the better glide.

Ok lets make sense of what this guy is saying..... "No...I've never heard of anyone who likes it...I figure in 5 years it won't even be around anymore" Ok first part.....Hummm I guess Cory Stillman isn't anyone? As for John Q Public the jury is still out but overall there are more that like it than don't so far. As for the second part. Well even if you just did regular hollows it still saves on wheel and dressing time so that sort of blows that theory. Well you might say well I like it a little inside the half line...guess what every machine is calibrated differently...however an Spinner dressing is pretty damn close from one machine to the next so if you wanted standard ROH either the BS or the BM spinner style systems will dress better and faster.

Just had to make a fast comment on here. I have been saying since page one this was a great idea......some did believe some werent to keen...then there was the people that have stores around the stores I work with that said it was terrible and would never fly and now I see 5 of them on the Blackstone sight. Wow to funny.

It all depends on who is doing the FBV there are a few tricks to really getting a solid hollow and making it a noticeable difference! try going back to the FBV .............see if you notice then! Who do you recommend at Oakville National Sports? I keep getting new/different people and hate not knowing if they are doing it right.... Starting this week there is a new system being used and only certain staff allowed to sharpen and that goes for all stores. Anyone doing the sharpening will be certified on this new system. If you look at the new flyer coming Thursday you will see all about it. Dave and Matt run that Pro shop though and are the main 2 guys!

Getting between 2 to 6 months depending on the staff using it!

With either a Tri-lite holder or a Blademaster holder with the Tri feature the original Max Edge Holder it can be done.

Are you serious or being facetious? Don't mean to be argumentative, I just can't tell over the internet. If you are being serious thats fantastic, I wish all shops provided their customers with that kind of attention to detail. Jimmy lets be real here.....if the holder isnt set up to be level and centered it would be off on edges if it was a Regular holllow or FBV? I have heard the same argument but its simple common sense if its off its if if you can line it up its lined up. Of course you can try and make better holders and such to keep the average blade straight in the holder however we all know that blade thickness can vary and blades can be bent.

Yup, we've had the Stealths since day one. As far as I know, all three GTA locations have the FBV spinners. Hummm wonder who's idea that was to put them in there? Haha... not mine! But I'm glad someone somewhere came up with the idea. :D your welcome.....

I was on the ice twice today, once for a 3-hour shinny session in the morning (no flood), and then ran a 2-hour hockey camp in the afternoon without stepping off the ice once. My steel still feels freshly sharpened. Were are you getting your FBV done?

I think Stl as more guys are on it there I believe...LOL I have no idea really..I will ask when out here this week!

Really....damn missed that part......that was a great game!

I had a US customer in today telling me that he knew the guys at BU and they just started using it and did so for the Frozen Four Championship. Then double checked with Steve......and thats a big 10-4! Love to know what the guys were all using!

Just a slight correction. "Just remember that Superfeet don't properly support everyone's foot." Support and fit are 2 different things. They will support anyone's foot if fitted properly. However you are correct in saying some may not like the support and may need custom orthodics or in some cases nothing but the stock insole.

I would recommend she use the 90/50 for the figures...if the store you go to normally doesnt have it let me know and I can meet you there!

Depends on how you skate and how much you let your edges degrade with a traditional sharpening. I am having a hard time with all these people needing them to be sharpened so much I am on for 2 hours a min of 2 times a week and have sharpened mine 2 times since January? Now my players need it more often as they are knocking skates against objects and they are playing JR A but for the average guy I cant see they need to be done so often?

Personally I have been trained on the ME system and I would love to be able to use it in my stores but cant. If I was an ME dealer I would use both the FBV and the ME system and I think it would be even better than anything out there. Before FBV the finish and the system used with ME was pretty much the best "PROGRAM" out there IMO. How does it differ from the profiling that I get from No Icing? I'm just trying to get educated. Is there a place I can find that explains the difference between ME and what I am using now, which is No Icing combo? My son really has no issues at all with that part, but I am really interested in the difference bewteen the two. Thanks for your information, trainer, I appreciate it. I looked on the ME site itself it is very limited on info. I cant answer that as I dont know No Icings form of profiling and how they do it!

I do a number of goalies on it. most are 90/50 but 1 is on 100/75.

I love how some people learn and try and learn more about a new system.....(FBV) bring it in to their stores use it and then ooops all of a sudden a whole bunch of stores in the GTA with (High End Sharpeners) go and buy the machine when some of us have had it for almost a year......but because of who we are we dont have a clue....????? And all this time the above High End Guys dished it off as a fad.... "it will never last" "I can do the same thing on my machine" and about 100 other lines.....of BS. We will see who has the last laugh....LOL

I dont agree.....I would love to charge a ton of money but with times as they are.......I think offering a customer something better for the same or a light bit more is a better idea!~ I mean there is a difference between charging more and double your normal price....I mean some guys are charging $10.

So what is everyone charging for the FBV? More Less or the same as the regular sharpening they have now?

I have to concur with Chadd as I did one of the teams I am working with and didnt even tell them. Some of these players are going D1 next year and others are going Pro. Now I did it the first time in a regular season didnt matter game and they won but only a couple guys said can i go sharper and or duller. Now in the 3rd round of the playoffs and just knocking out the number 1 team they are all believers. Not only was the team they knocked off first in the league but something like 8 th in the country. Is it all the sharpening???? No there a well coached bunch of hard working players......but all of them including the 3 top players NEVER want to change after the season....

If you had the FBV put on from a regular sharpening on the previous time it will not last longer. The second FBV will. Or you can try a slight cross grind on the skating surface and then sharpen works wonders!
