Pitch from True to Machs

Recommended Posts

After using True skates for the last 7 years and most recently the Cat pros with shift Max holders, I have transitioned to the Bauer machs. I profiled the steel to the same quad zero as on my Trues. I'm having issues with the pitch as there are times I almost fell backwards bc I was leaning too far on my heels when turning and transitioning. Straight away strides I'm actually ok but still a bit off which is natural given I'm using a brand new and different type of skate. 

My question is , if I were to re profile the steel for my machs, I plan to keep the quad 0, but how much pitch should I ask for to get as close as it was to the true skates which also has quad zero. 

I'm going to give it about a month to see if I can adapt. Also, I'm not overly impressed with the fly ti steel. Def doesn't have nearly the glide or bite step/jrz black dlc has, but I digress.

Mach skates with Quad Zero are already pitched forward quite a bit. I'd just adapt to it. If you pitch any more forward you might end up with knee problems. Speaking from experience.

Ya I rmbr going from 9ft single radius to the quad in my old one100s and I def felt the pitch.... Funny thing is I never felt more pitch going to trues.  But after 7 years in trues I def feel on my heels in the Bauers even though the Bauers have quite a bit more forward flex.  I will give it a month and see. 

But with that said, if the trues overall holder and or boot is pitched more than the Supremes, and I have no knee issues, wouldn't that not be a concern? It's not like I'm incrementally increasing the pitch ore and more until my knees go.
