ICE SKATE PROFILING

Professional Skate Profiling for Ice Skates

Ever felt slightly off-balance in a skate or like you weren’t getting the most out of your boots? A custom skate profile is one of the most effective ways to improve your balance, acceleration, edge control and overall performance.

A custom profile is a great way to enhance your skating style. Our staff are fully trained to use both Blademaster and Bauer Prosharp profiling systems, allowing us to change the radial profile and lean of your skates to suit your stride, with singular or combi Radii.

Our professional profiling service includes a full consultation, where we assess your current setup and discuss your skating goals. The service costs £35, and due to the precision involved, skates must be left in-store for profiling to be completed outside business hours.

Benefits of Ice Skate Profiling

Enhanced Control & Stability
A professionally profiled skate blade improves your contact with the ice, allowing for smoother transitions, better weight distribution, and more predictable edge response. Custom ice skate profiling gives you the control needed to stay balanced on the ice.

More Speed with Less Effort
Better glide and energy transfer means you’ll conserve effort while gaining speed. By minimising resistance, custom skate profiling helps you accelerate faster, maintain top speed longer, and push off with greater power - essential for both hockey players and competitive skaters.

Reduced Injury Risk and Long-Term Comfort
Uneven or poorly matched blade profiles can strain joints and muscles, leading to discomfort or injury over time. A proper profile improves alignment, and ensures your skates work to give you more stability on the ice - especially important for growing skaters and those returning from injury.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION (FAQ)

  • 1. What is Skate Profiling?

    Skate Profiling changes the contact points of your blade with the ice, utilising 1, 2, 3, or 4 distinct zones along the length of the blade, ensuring you are getting the very best from your skate. Profiling is only suitable for hockey blades.

    Hockey skate Profiling customises the contact points of the blade to suit your specific skating style and positional play. A longer profile (13-foot, for example) provides more blade contact with the ice. Providing more resistance to lateral movement and greater stability, but sacrifices some manoeuvrability.

    A longer profile also creates potential for faster acceleration and greater speed with less effort. Whilst these trade offs can seem daunting they are key to improving your presence on the ice, profiling is a key weapon utilised by professional skaters all over the world.

  • 2. How do I select the right skate profiling?

    Our staff are trained to listen to our customer's likes and dislikes of their current skate blades and our focus is to look at ways to improve our customers skating. We advise customers in to different custom skate profiling setups depending on their position, skating style, and goals.
