Hockeydad97 3 Report post Posted August 17, 2023 Anyone skating on any Elite profile? Thoughts? Comparisons ? Thinking of trying scs-1 or scs-2 any info helps thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking of trying scs-1 or scs-2 any info helps thanks. I am skating on the SCS-1 Standard P2 (Pitch 2). I really like it. Briefly tried Elite equivalent to the 'Zuperior' profile before, and much prefer the SCS-1. Originally had the SCS-1 at P1 and then had it done to P2 after a few skates and I think its perfect now. Came from Prosharp's Ellipse Zero on my old skates (True TF9's), now in the Hyperlite 2 with the Elite profile so tough to give a direct comparison between those two anyways.

I'm looking into the Elite SCS options now, but they don't give specifics on which is which. I was hoping to get a comparison to something I've already used. Thanks!

I know Elite just came out with their new 'Polaris' profile, that is supposed to be very similar to the Quad. As well they have their own EL4 Quad profile. Its kinda tough finding info on their profiles online. But I was able to find a cut sheet on their Facebook page. I know they have SCS 1-3, 1 being the most rockered at the toe and heel, and 3 being the least. I actually have a set of steel that is the Standard SCS-1 with no more additional pitch and I think I actually like that more, after skating on that set for a bit, going back to the Pitch 2 of the SCS-1 seems pretty aggressively pitched forward.

marka 526 Report post Posted November 10, 2023 Howdy, So how much does one of these Elite ES4 machines cost? I'm not going to buy one, just curious what a 'production' CNC approach would be. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pgeorgan 77 Report post Posted July 26 (edited) Anyone (@Elite Blade Performance??) have any more detailed info on the Elite Polaris profile? It just says it's like a quad but more agile in the back. I think my days of wasting steel to try new profiles are over. I have a Quad 0 and love it, however I have a friend that skates similar to me and recently switched to the Polaris and recommends it. I figure someone on here has to know which 4 radii it uses... Thanks! Edited July 26 by pgeorgan 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! The Polaris is 8-10.5-14.5-12.5. On their website in the section titled “Resources” you can click on Elite Profile Comparisons and it will tell you what each profile is exactly and how they compare to others.

I definitely wouldn't have seen that. Thanks! So it's basically like a Quad 0.5 with the back two radii flipped? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It all depends on the wear of the wheel. If it's at the beginning of its life it's more rough. Middle to end no issues. That's why I use the honing machine.

I just profiled a set of blades with a 8-10.5-14.5-12.5 Polaris Profile for myself to try.

I went right back to my 981 Quad hybrid. Faster, more agile and more balance with the glide surface under the Center of the blade. I also cut an Ellipse II for my 272 blades with 40mm back of cl. That moves the flattest ppont on the ellipse profile roughly in the same area as the Polaris. It skates smoother than the Polaris for sure. But still not a super fast profile.
