Very hard and holds an edge much longer then my old steel. I don’t know why I didn’t upgrade sooner. The profiling also made a huge difference allowing me to fly into backwards crossovers with ease. I tell everyone about this steel! I’m faster, spend less $ on sharpening, and can maneuver in and out of crossovers quicker and easier. Amazing how quality steel changes things
My son works a lot on synthetic ice and these blades hold their edge fantastically. We added the Junior Goalie Sam profile and it has helped him a lot with his mobility. His edge work is better than ever since making the switch.
My 14 year old had the fastest blue line time and was killing it in drills. He had been asking for a profiled blade and Tydan came up with what best worked for him. They were also able to cut his second set to match and recommended what radius FBV to use. Coming from Canada I expected longer shipping times but we had the Tydan originals the same week and 2 way shipping was almost as quick. I had a question on the weekend and there was a skate pro available immediately. We are definitely impressed and will recommend and use these guys again.
These guys are very helpful and quick to answer your questions. Cant wait for covid to end so I can try them out.
Tydan's MyEdge assessment was correct in recommending the 3/4" hollow. I moved from a 5/8" hollow and see improved glide. It is still too early to note how the Zuperior profile work for me as I have only been able to play in two games because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The blades themselves appear high quality and have minimal design on them. They go into and come out of my Trigger holders very easily.
