Thank you, guys! I decided to stick to Phantoms. (I am not very good with changes!
)
It is quite shock to have a new blade, even if it is the same one as before. I think now I can appreciate what everyone means by blade not being stable (rocking forward and backwards). (did I really write a few post above that I have rocker 7 and have no problem with stability? I think I am taking my words back!) Oh dear, maybe I should have gone for anything with rocker 8?
But my turns are suddenly so easy.
Twizzles got even more dangerous.
It turns so quickly and effortlessly, that it feels completely out of control.
And the blades go so quickly, smoothly and efforlesly, that maybe it's a good job I didn't get the rocker 8. I love the speed, but it is seriously weird to have the same speed as usual without needing to even push. (I am used to push because I love speed but I think if I push now, that will be suicidal).
I have to say I am shocked about the difference between old blades and new blades. I knew that the more you sharpen the blades, the more flatter they become, but because this happens over several years, I don't think I fully appreciated how much different it feels.
