Skate faster with the Zuperior blade profile
The
Zuperior blade profile combines a 13 ft radius (for more power in the
push and better glide) with a 7 ft radius on the toe (for quicker
acceleration and shifts). Thousands of pro and minor hockey players have already made the switch. The Zuperior blade profile is developed in cooperation with Tomas Storm
who works with skill development for the Detroit Red Wings and a vast
number of other NHL players.
Revolutionary Z Channel Skate Sharpening
The Channel design
provides double edges for increased grip and edge control. Two
flat glide surfaces for less friction and increased glide.
"You get the best sides of both worlds, says Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson, Timra's super talented
forward. " It is the best sharpening that I've ever had, no doubt about
it. i can't even think
about going back to my old sharpening" " I have lot better glide when
skating straight down the ice and in crossover skating I have lot better grip
than I used to have. I absolutely feel that I have become faster, says Paajarvi-Svensson.
Z Channel Skating Advantages
- Excellent grip and edge control. Improved power distribution in the stride.
- Ability to a lower body angle for improved agility and
advanced skating motions with total edge security.
- Less friction for better glide, improved skating
efficiency and higher speed.
