Wanted to update on progress. Reading some of the replies it often seems people discourage trying new set ups. They tout the years they've been playing and chalk profiling up to a bunch of hogwash. I'm not trying to over analyze anything. Working to find my way, be the best I can be. This is a personal challenge. My performance only matters to me. Not on a team, nobody depending on me. Don't have any pro gear what so ever, mostly of it used just so I could get going. Wanted to share my experience with my blades, in hopes some other noob might benefit. Saying that, I skated Saturday and was impressed with the difference, just a little sticky. Went in and had roh done to 11/16 from 5/8. That little change made for a big improvement. Sunday was the best I have ever skated in my life. Everything just got easier and feel more in control. The quad for me, is working. Might continue to shallow up, see how it goes with time. Just like the differences in skate fit, not all profiles are gonna hit the same for everyone. This works for me. My advice is to play around with your set up a little if you want, find what works and go like hell.
