New figure skating blades?

• When you get new figure skating blades does it take a while to adjust? What brands are of blades will i notice that make a HUGE difference?

• Answer:

  Yes, it does take some time to adjust if you switch blade models or brands. Not as long as it takes to break in boots, but it does take time. It's especially noticeable on turns and spins. I don't know what blades you're in now, so I can't answer that specifically. From talking to people, the adjustment period is shorter if you're staying with the same brand, such as MK Pro blades to MK Visions, or whatever. There's very little adjustment period with getting new blades of the same model, such as just getting another Coronation Ace blade when you already have one. The biggest difference you'll feel is switching brands, like from a Coronation Ace to a Vision.
