I am going to start from the beginning, since September I have been skating in Matrix Legacy’s, and they were great, I really liked the deeper edges that they gave me and the drag pick( the bottom one), but at that time I was also looking into gold seals since everyone were saying they were amazing, so I bought also a second hand skates with gold seals, I didn’t try them seriously until this past week, since my usual skates were in my country and I had to come back for an exam. Well I have been trying the gold seals and I liked them as well, it is true that spins were so much easier, I was able to do more than two revolutions on camel spin XD, but I didn’t notice that much of a difference if you ask me, I have been struggling with back spin a lot, and when I went to try it with the gold seals, I realized that the drag tooth was somewhat smaller and it was really hard to do backspin, maybe it was because it was second hand? but I guess I got used to it.
I need to buy new skates since Edea didn’t work for me, so I am wondering which I would choose this time. I really liked that matrix don’t need to sharpen a lot, I haven’t sharpened one since September, it is true that I haven’t skated much l, but I was with coronation ace for half a year before and I had to sharpen much more, in the other forum they are so against matrix blades that’s why I wanted to post a thread about this so I got another peoples opinion, also there’s so many figure skaters that I saw in international competitions that wear matrix, so it shouldn’t be that bad right? I want to hear so diverse opinions to make up my mind about it.
Thanks In advance
