I am day one, on completely different blades. I went from totally flat, worn out, MK Professionals (7 rocker when new) to Ultima Elite (8 rocker, similar to Pattern 99's). My new rocker is a rocker, whereas my old rocker was not. I feel like I am on beginner blades. I tried a three turn in them today, and it was really weird. It's going to take a few weeks.
Now, not only is it rocker . . but profile. MK has 2 point profile (two different rocker lengths), but Wilson has 3. I didn't understand that until I got onto these new blades. There is a different feeling as I move up the blades, and it changes up twice. Three turns are weird right now, and I could do them in my sleep normally. Spinning today was out of the question.
I choose the blade based on the rec shop and my coach. Because my old blades were so flat and I am going to be going into doubles shortly (currently putting loops behind the single jumps), she didn't see a problem with Pattern 99's 8 foot profile. She was worried about the bottom toe pick and warned me about it, but I didn't hit it today because of the big rocker. I've slipped off my toe on a number of takeoffs with the smaller, top toe picks. And, coach wants me to get more height in the jumps.
That being said, it's going to take a few weeks of relearning how to skate. If I don't like them, I can return them. The man at the skate shop says that only about 2% of the skaters return, in his estimation.
