Cross Cut Pick

The benefits of a Cross Cut Pick

The Cross Cut Pick allows skaters to grip the top layers of the ice as opposed to digging down deeper than a straight cut style. Will grip the ice better with less sliding, works well for skaters wanting a quicker rotation initiation.

Rocker Radius (Rocker radius refers to the rear part of the blade used for gliding and stroking)

The benefits of a 7' Rocker

The Signature blade is more curved, less contact surface with the ice. What does this mean in terms of performance? A smaller radius is better for deeper edges, smoother turns and agility.
