BobMcRobertson 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2007 Gentleman,I just finished my first season in Adult Hockey and I have a question. All season and since I started skating, I have been getting a 7/16 inch edge on my skates. What would be the pro's and con's of going to 1/2 inch, if any? I am not that big, 6ft, 195lbs. Is 7/16 to "deep"? Thanks in advance for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy 194 Report post Posted February 7, 2007 There will probably be no cons. At 195 lbs you wil probably like the 1/2" much more, the pro's are you'll get more speed, use less effort, get less chatter, be more in control of your skates, and your sharpening (edge) will last longer.

DamnLocust 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2007 none. Steel comes without a hollow, it's your sharpener who puts one on there. Most shops will put either 3/8" or 1/2" as standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
