9.5'/10.5' Split Hockey Skate Profiling

Service Description

The 9.5′/10.5′ split radius hockey skate profiling blends a quicker toe (9.5′) for snap starts and tight cuts with a slightly longer heel (10.5′) for smoother glide and balance. It rides like a tuned-up 10′—more pop up front without feeling twitchy, more poise out back without feeling sluggish. Ideal for versatile skaters who attack in the corners, transition through the neutral zone, and still want efficient straight-line speed. Best for: Two-way centers and power wings who need both burst and control, Skaters moving up from 9′ seeking more glide without losing response, Players who liked 10′ but want a touch more toe agility. What it trades: Not as ultra-snappy as a pure 9′ on micro-cuts, and not as floaty as 11′–13′ at top speed—this is a crafted middle ground. Dial-in tips (optional): Pitch: neutral → slight forward to emphasize toe engagement Hollow: 5/8″–11/16″ for a balanced bite/glide feel Next steps if you want to tweak: Want more north-south glide and blue-line poise? Try a 10′/13′ split. Want even snappier acceleration? Test a 9′/10′ split or drop to 9.5′ single. All profiling is performed on the SSM Profile Machine. After profiling, the steel will need to be sharpened to a specified hollow. In most cases, profiling and sharpening can both be done for next-day pickup.
