Profiling Guide

What is a Profile?

A blade profile is the shape of the entire blade - end to end. A skater’s center of gravity is determined by the blade-to-ice contact surfaces, known as blade profile.

 

Profiling is the matching of skate blades to each other and to the skater. Finding the correct radius for the skater gives them the choice between more bite on take off vs. more glide at top end.

 

Radius depends on the skater, the skate and the ice conditions but is crucial for maintaining confidence, control, and injury prevention.

How Often Do I Profile?

Maximum Edge® recommends profiling all skates once a year.

 

They also recommend profile maintenance be done every 10 to 12 sharpenings to maximize control and performance.

 

Be sure to stop-in to our Pro Shop for profile maintenance, which consists of checking your blades for consistency and correcting any differences.
