Is your steel broken.

Choppy sharpening or too sharp, edges digging in too much.

you sure someone didn't put clear tape on your blades?

We do that to kids on our team all the time.Its so funny when they go on the ice.

When we did it to a buddy a year ago it never worked either for us either (to my dissapointment)

no tape, steel is fine, it does feel a little more rough then normal. i just picked these up from a pro team, they are brand new, i am betting they sharpened them bad. would a normal sharpening fix the problem?

[chippa13 1844]

If they're brand new, it could be they still have never been sharpened.

do they have clear tape over it?

does it only have 1 edge per steel?

have you sharpened them since you've gotten them? also, ask for the hollow you normally skate on when you get them sharpened. the hollow your on may be too deep

Probobly what happend to me as the skates i've always had before have always had some kind of edge brand new i tested it to see if it would shave a finger nail and it did so i went on the ice i couldn't keep my feet together could hardly move and it was impossible to turn

i dont think your skates have been sharpend and that rough feeling is probobly the cross grinding(i think)that all skates have from the box

are there lines going accross your blade?

i figured it could be something as simple as not being sharpened, but i picked up about 6 pairs of skates from the team, and skated in 3 of the pairs last night, with these being the only ones with this problem. all look brand new too

we'll see i am gonna sharpen them tommorw
