Ive noticed lately though that when i stand in my ready stance i dont feel that my skates grip the ice that well and i feel if i stay in the stance to long my blades will lose their edge and fall out from under me. Also, when im in my butterfly and i try to do a butterfly push my skate usually slips and i can never get a strong enough push from it so i was looking to get a sharper cut next time i get them sharpened maybe like a 1/2 or something around there. But i was wondering, say i got it sharper and i don't like it very much, would i be able to go back to my original 5/8 cut after they get dulled down a little? please give advice Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Goalie Forum Forum Index » Goalie Equipment Chat All times are GMT - 2 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Goalie Equipment----------------Goalie Equipment ReviewsUsed Goalie Equipment For SaleGoalie Equipment Chat Goalie School----------------Goalie DrillsBetween the Pipes The Locker Room----------------NHL GoaliesGeneral DiscussionGoalie NewsGeneral Hockey Talk  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Copyright © Goalie Forum.com.
