New skate Problem

[MJDhcky9 0]

I just bought a new pair of supreme 70 and was fitted a size 5.5 EE streched. I previously had been wearing skates that were way to big for me (6.5). The skates feel alright however i am having an awful time skating backwards which is a stronger area of my skating as i am a defenseman. Dooes anybody have an idea why. It feels as though im leaning alot more forward on my skates and this could be because im actually fitted right and not used to it.

correct me if im wrong but sounds like a radius or pitch problem.

what where you skating on before..... its probably you just having to get use to the new skates... plus there a little small but that shouldn't be that big of a deal just my 2cents

by the way how do you like the new ones

You're correct, that's what it sounds like

I was in 8090's before which were an entire size to big for me.

yep sounds like so, the new bauer holder is longer 11" i think were the light speed 2 is 9" right guys also there supose to be more nutral in pitch(less on heels)

keep triing to get use to it or get the pitch changed

How could the pitch be changed. Would i need a new holder

Nope, just need to grind a little steel. Any quality shop can do that for you.

I called the shop i bought them from and the guy there recomended a toe lift. could this help?

You may be in a smaller holder, as well. Check the bottom of your Tuuks to see if the 8090 is a 254 and the Supreme 70 is a 246. You also have LS2 Power steel now with the longer runner.

A toe lift would put you on a reverse lean and you never want that. You want to be flat or leaning forward so a Heel lift would work not a toe lift. Or as Chadd mentioned a slight profile adjustment.
