Tstop, I am no amazing skater and have only a few years under my belt. However, I truly believe that basically any skater can use any blade well with a bit of time on it. Rentals are a problem since they get switched up, but basically we can adapt to and get comfortable with any of them out there.
I do wish there was a rental service or some other way for people to try various options, but overall I think skaters adjust. That’s my own experience anyway with… whatever comes on Jackson Softecs, Aspire XPs, Pattern 99, Phantom, figure rentals, hockey rentals at two rinks, Coronation Ace, and I forget if I am missing anything else in under 4 years on the ice. I could do everything on the blades aside from the rentals, even before I was what I’d consider a “good” skater with a solid foundation.
