SHARPENING, PROFILING AND ETCHING STEEL
PROFILING AND SHARPENING STEEL
When players hit the ice, power and energy is transferred through their blades. Now TRUE is offering its customers further skate customization through profile and sharpening options to dial in their blades to perfectly suit their game and to maximize performance.
PERFORMANCE PROFILING
Performance profiling combines multiple radiuses to give hockey players the best combination of these attributes (speed, power, stability, glide &, agility) to suit their skating style, so that they feel great on the ice. TRUE, powered by ELITE Blade Performance Technology, is pleased to offer a selection of performance profile options, allowing hockey players to find the optimal blade shape to maximize their skating performance.
PERFORMANCE QUADS
In the Performance Quad series, the blade is flattened from the middle of the foot back towards the heel, creating an area with more steel on the ice.
SCS SERIES
This is ELITE’s newest family of proprietary profiles, with a sequence of flatter radius curves under the middle of the foot, and similarly rockered toe and heel sections.
SHARPENING HOLLOW
SHARPENING STEEL
Your custom profiled TRUE blades will be sharpened on ELITE’s revolutionary, fully computer-controlled sharpener. It is the most precise system on the market and the only skate sharpener capable of perfectly preserving the profile of the blade.
CUSTOMIZED ETCHING
Using a state-of-the-art laser etching machine, TRUE is pleased to introduce custom blade etching, allowing players to customize their steel with name and/or number personalization. Players can personalize their steel with up to 20 characters.
