Flare Skate Blades deliver tighter turns, faster glide, and more control and these Flare Skate Blade runners are designed to fit seamlessly into Graf Cobra skate blade holders. An independent study conducted by the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Calgary sought to investigate the difference in performance of the Flare Skate Blade versus traditional skate blades, focusing on friction, acceleration, speed, glide, and turns. The Results?
Flare Skate Blades do not require more or less sharpening than traditional blades. As with traditional blades, the amount of sharpening will depend on the intensity and frequency of use, and will be a matter of personal preference. Although individual use varies, recreational players who have switched over to Flare Skate Blades have reported their blades require less sharpening than their previous traditional blades. This can save you valuable money! Because the angle increases the width of the blades at the bottom, we suggest the hollow be adjusted to ensure you experience the same ease of use with your new Flare Skate Blades.
