If your new and old blades has different ROH they surely feel different. When comparing blades, use same sharpener and same ROH on both blades.If the ROH is too small, skating requires more effort and toe pick may hit in to the ice more easily when making crossovers => balance point moves too close to the toes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-47285243022960251592012-08-17T09:35:53.556-04:002012-08-17T09:35:53.556-04:00I like my MK Pros.

I had a choice between them and the Coronation Ace and chose the MKs because the toe pick looked marginally less scary.<br /><br />I wish three turns were as easy as just thinking about them though!Bunny Hophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617899152988794857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-149576150239616172012-08-17T08:00:25.312-04:002012-08-17T08:00:25.312-04:00Ooooo!

They seem fine for my current purposes. I have no idea how I would know if I needed to upgrade my blade. The idea appeals to me, but I think I'll wait a little longer, until I can at least come up with a justification I'm happy with :)Alejeathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-35150179608560701212012-08-16T17:33:56.716-04:002012-08-16T17:33:56.716-04:00It's the engineer in me.

Decided to try 7 foot rocker to see how much difference it made, and if the blades moved differently across the ice. It's not like MK Pros are a seriously 'advanced' blade, it's more of a 'step up' blade.<br /><br />Cruella told me that Russian singles favor Gold Seal, so take that for what it's worth.<br /><br /><br />Babbette Duboisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721808053479678691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-47997508746196912042012-08-16T11:28:36.071-04:002012-08-16T11:28:36.071-04:00Just curious why you wanted to switch from 8' ...Just curious why you wanted to switch from 8' to 7'.

I remember when I went ...I like my 8' rocker...<br />I remember when I went from Mirage to Gold Seal (a used pair, came on the boots- I'm not made of money!) it was like the blades did the turns for me!<br /><br />I'm currently on Ultima Legacy and those things have a KILLER toepick. They also have the most beautiful edge rip ever. My back crossovers sound professional.<br /><br />Good luck with the new blades!Jessimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442665425448000014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-12951465236999802212012-08-16T02:40:10.114-04:002012-08-16T02:40:10.114-04:00I have the same blades!
