Rockering your skates

[RedAce 0]

I am looking to be able to make tighter quick turns.

What kind of rocker would be best for me???

Use a 9ft or a 8ft profile on your skates.

go to your lhs and ask for a 9ft, never want a banana blade, ever

Find a LHS that knows what they are doing, not just one that does 9' on everyone, or one that only offers two choices. What radius (rocker) you need is vastly different than what others need. Never go by a recommendation of another skater. Seek advice of a professional sharpener/radius technician who can talor the rocker to your ability, position, skating style, positional play, skate size, height, as well as matching it to compliment a proper hollow.

BTW, Rockering is an old term, for a service that was done freehand. It's now evolved into profiling and radiusing. Do a Google search for those terms and you will find some very helpful info.
