Quad 0.5 (8-10-12-14) Peter Pin

Profile2 - Quad 0.5 (8-10-12-14) on CCM Ribcor 9 1/2 size

Steel - Step blacksteel 280mm

Hollow - 5/8''

About Me - I started playing/skating  when I was 5 then played at good level until 13 in leagues. Then stopped and played only maybe 8-10 times/winter at local public outdoor hockey rink just for fun until mid 30s.
Then restarted in beer league at 35. Now in my late 30s. I'm a forward. I'd say a good skater and a tad faster then average skaters.    Almost 6' tall and 185lbs

Review - Felt way better overall  than the 9' single. The grip is similar, but it feels more natural and the glide is way better. you feel that the blade is at the right "height" in the ice when it digs in it. 9' was just to deep.

You don't get tired as quick as the 9' . Easier to keep pace when you are cruising or at higher speed. Mobility is similar than 9'. Going forward to backward is way easier then 9' as well as stability/balance is better.

Acceleration - 3.8

Mobility - 3.8

Stability - 3.6

Speed - 4

Very happy with it. But I've always liked my ROH deep like 1/2 or even 7/16. So I'll try 9/16 next time instead of 5/8. I don't think I'm a 1'' or 3/4'' candidate.

update nov 26 2021: tonight was my second game with that profile and with 9/16 ROH. I think I found the sweet spot. Got used to profile and 9/16 suits better the hard surface of ice of the rink where I play every Friday at my beer league. Awesome. Now feels more confident on my skate and scored 2 goals tonite 🙂
