Ted_289 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2017 Just wondering if anyone out there would have some advice for me about T-blades. I am planning to put them on my jetspeeds, to see if they really are what they're cracked up to be! Any input is appreciated. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty22 833 Report post Posted October 9, 2017 They are out of business, correct? Unless you have a stockpile of the size/ hollow you need this seems like a losing proposition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larry54 243 Report post Posted October 10, 2017 I had some years ago. I liked how light they were. I wasn't crazy about how loud they were. If you don't have access to a good sharpener, they are an alternative. For me, the edge didn't last as long as they claimed. I believe the claim was an equivalence to 4 sharpenings. Now with better steel like Step Steel uses, I believe I can go as many hours per sharpening as I'd reach with a set of T'Blades. And if I got a nick or burr while playing on a recently changed set, I'd get pissed off because I needed to change the set before they're fully won out, as opposed to just getting a new sharpening with conventional blades. So you have to weigh the pros and cons and decide if it's worth the extra expense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know this for sure but I think it has to do with the plastic holder that the steel sits in that causes the noise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you live somewhere without a quality skate sharpening service they are pretty good kit. They're loud in turns. A few NHLers (mostly Germans) have worn them and some guys are still rocking them in DEL. Nonetheless they are pretty rare for Professionals. Knock them all you want, but they perform fine. Ryan Smyth put up some decent NHL numbers with those huge gauntlet gloves and little wood shovel stick. 39 goals in 96-97. Guys will tell you that stick is garbage and the gloves are heavy. Point: try out different kit and go with what you like. Haters gonna hate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that they offer what I need, because i am only 150lbs, i have less glide than my 220lb teammates. With a need for more glide, i think these are the answer. Thankyou for the comment!!

If all you need is more glide, have you tried a shallower hollow or FBV? More cost effective than a holder / blade change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
