INFORMATION

The Radius of Hollow (ROH) refers to the curve ground into the bottom of your hockey skate blades. It is a critical factor in determining skate performance, as it creates the inside and outside edges that directly impact your grip and glide on the ice.

How ROH Works

• Measurement: ROH is expressed in fractions of an inch (e.g., 1/2", 5/8").

• The Inverse Relationship: * Smaller Radius: Results in a deeper hollow and sharper edges.

  • Larger Radius: Results in a shallower hollow and flatter edges.

• The Trade-off: ROH is all about finding the perfect balance between Grip and Glide.

Deep ROH (Smaller Numbers: e.g., 3/8", 1/2")

• Pros: Deeply bites into the ice for superior grip. Ideal for sharp turns, quick stops, and explosive acceleration. Perfect for agile, aggressive skaters.

• Cons: Higher friction reduces glide. It requires more energy to maintain speed, which can lead to faster fatigue.

Shallow ROH (Larger Numbers: e.g., 5/8", 3/4", 1")

• Pros: Reduced friction provides excellent glide. Ideal for maintaining high straight-line speeds and conserving energy during long shifts.

• Cons: Less "bite" or grip on the ice, which may cause sliding during tight turns or sudden stops. Requires precise edge control.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Your ROH

Choosing the right ROH depends on your skating style, body weight, ice conditions, and position.

Body Weight

• Lighter Players: Can benefit from a deeper ROH to ensure the blades "bite" into the ice despite less body weight.

• Heavier Players: Naturally exert more pressure on the ice; therefore, a shallower ROH often provides plenty of grip while maximizing glide.

Skating Style & Position

• Agile Playmakers (Forwards): Often prefer a deeper ROH for quick pivots, starts, and stops.

• Speed Specialists (Defensemen): Often prefer a shallower ROH to improve glide and straight-line speed. Note: Goalies may prefer a deeper hollow for quick lateral pushes.

Ice Hardness

• Soft Ice: The blade sinks easily, so a shallower ROH is recommended to prevent "digging in" too much.

• Hard/Cold Ice: The surface is slippery, so a deeper ROH helps the edges grip the hard surface.

Conclusion

ROH is a highly personal preference in ice hockey. There is no "perfect" setting—only the one that feels most comfortable and efficient for you. We recommend experimenting with different radii to find the optimal setup that unlocks your full potential on the ice.

TIP

INFORMATION

Defensive players are frequently exposed to powerful shots throughout the game. Skate Fenders provide an effective barrier, protecting both your feet and your skates from high-velocity puck impacts.

Superior Slapshot Protection

• Impact Minimization: Stay in the game by absorbing the force of heavy slapshots.

• Total Defense: Protects your skates from pucks, sticks, and collisions, significantly extending the lifespan of your gear.

Proven Performance Since 2012

• Pro-Tested: Field-tested in every environment, from the NHL to local recreational leagues.

• Trusted Reliability: A proven track record of preventing impact-related injuries.

Solid Molded Construction

• High-Quality Polycarbonate: Engineered with premium materials for maximum shock absorption and long-lasting durability.

• Full Coverage: A rugged design that securely wraps around the most vulnerable areas of the foot.

Lightweight & Slim Design

• Maximum Mobility: A streamlined profile that eliminates bulk, ensuring your skating stride remains natural and unrestricted.

• Easy On/Off: Simple to strap on or remove, providing convenience before and after the game.

SIZE

Small: Best for skate sizes 4 to 8 (Narrow to Standard boot widths).

Large: Best for sizes 8 and up (Standard to Wide boot widths).

INFORMATION

Speed is often considered the most critical skill in ice hockey. PowerSk8r skate weights are on-ice leg training equipment designed to help improve endurance, power, and speed through repetition and resistance.

The 1 lb set is recommended for users over 100 lbs, while the 1/2 lb set is recommended for those under 100 lbs (typically men's skate size 7 or smaller). These weights are engineered to provide a comfortable fit and a consistent attachment position, utilizing heavy-duty hook-and-loop straps.

They can be used for both on-ice and off-ice training and are easily compatible with rollerblades. Wear them during training and practice, then remove them for games. You can expect to feel an immediate improvement in performance right after training.
