Over the years I've seen some shops whose final product looks a lot like that.

The difference is negligible, unless you're comparing youth skates to a size 14 boot. If it helps, think of it as +1, +2 and not in actual trigonometric degrees. This isn't structural engineering, it's a rough estimation and has been the industry standard for decades.
-
About 2.5mm if my calculations are correct. +1 = 1/32 +3 = 3/32 3/32 = ..094" .094 " = 2.4mm

No, it is a static measurement at the skate, not at the top of your head.
-
I believe that example is correct

It is to some people, usually the ones that think a scout is going to pluck them out of a beer league at 40.

Everyone should be able to play with everyone else in the event of a scrambled change, but the more you get to play with the same people, the more you know what they are going to do in a given situation. Knowing those tendencies, as well as your own predispositions, helps out a lot on the ice.

We have an older team that isn't the best conditioned and that works great for us.

Two goals against and I'm heading for the bench before anything else goes wrong.

Thanks, I appreciate the thoughts. Skated with my guys tonight in a pickup session and had headaches after the first shift and nausea after the second. It looks like I am still a long way off.
-
it's not like the Bauer products the pros are wearing are bad, they do make great products. Outside of that, I agree with you, it's all marketing.
-
Mine dry really fast. I played in a tournament with a couple hours between games and they were fine.
-
It sure looks like a bad wheel to me.

The last six months has been one kick in the teeth after another.
-
It cal also allow the moisture to rot the sole. Most shops I have seen use glue or epoxy to fill old holes.
-
More bite when you dig in and better glide in a straight line
-
Completely different technique with speed skaters as well. The difference in going up a size on hockey steel is almost entirely psychological. Most skaters would achieve the same results with improved technique but a lot of people want shortcuts.
-
The width of the flat at the bottom of the V is a significant factor in the performance. Yes, the edges are taller with the x/75 hollows, but you still get more glide due to the geometry of the overall shape.
-
It doesn't make your legs any longer or stronger
-
a 9' radius has the same amount of steel on the ice, regardless of the size. The only thing is does is make it easier to maintain balance if you get your shoulders farther forward of your center of gravity.

Pete Rose played into the 80s and he was an ok hitter too -
I used some pliers to compress the second washer
-
I understand how you feel. My wife had our Aussie (who was really sick) put down when I was in Vegas for the hockey show a couple years ago. The real kicker was that it was on my birthday.
-
Thanks guys, after six+ months, I'm pretty frustrated with the whole process. At my current rate of progress, I'm probably still a couple months away from being right.
