Overview
The Bladetech Shift Polished Steel Runners feature Flex Force Technology, which makes Bladetech unlike any other replacement steel on the market. Flex Force Technology provides hockey players with both performance and health benefits. The runner has a unique design where the blade flexes up into the holder, absorbing and storing the vertical energy before exploding it back out during the stride extension.
This technology increases player speed and acceleration, as well as absorbs vertical energy that would normally be absorbed by the knee joint. This ultimately reduces stress on the knees while increasing the efficiency of each stride, slowing down player fatigue. Bladetech only uses the highest quality of steel and finished the surface with a high polish, giving players a longer glide and sharpening life.
Lastly, the runners come pre-profiled so that the blades maintain better ice contact in all skating positions. This improves stability, glide, acceleration, stopping and turning over standard stock profiles.
IW can have your skate blades delivered profiled, sharpened and game-ready! With custom blade profile options including Zuperior, Quad and Ellipse, you can immediately improve your speed, stability and agility compared to stock flat profiles. We also offer a wide range of sharpening options and when it is time for a fresh profile or edge tune-up, use our Express Mail-In Skate Blade Profiling and Sharpening service. Select your blade profile and sharpening hollow when you add a blade to your cart. Learn even more here.
