My new skates

**Sebx** · 12-04-2011, 06:32 AM

After 4 years with my RBK 9k, a pump have broke. So, I buy a pair of Graf 750 but, I wanted to keep my XBlades.

Seriously, I think it's the perfect skates :)

I tried the Xblades last night, and I like them!!

you'll find Graf's more comfortable than most shoes

Nice skates... What do you guys like so much about the Xblades? Help with side to side movement? Recovery? What?

Better balance, better grip, better durability, less slipeage. A lot better for a butterfly goalie

Would you recommend for a relatively new goalie? Or Should I just stick to regular blades?

The XBlade will be always better for a modern goalie than the regular blades. New goalie or not.

Am I correct in assuming these are not "overdrive" blades?

Absolutely not. Overdrive blades are a piece of steel added to the inside edge of the cowling.
