| The skating coaches basically categorized blades into 2 types: jumping blades with flatter rockers and toe-picks low to the ice, and spinning blades with more rocker and toe-picks that were higher off the ice. … For example; a Wilson Gold Seal usually measured between 6 ft and 7 ½ ft rocker… … The MK Professional always measured between 7 ft and 9 ft… |
Чувак описывает какое-то свое приспособление для измерений, так что может оно не очень точное, но в принципе подтверждает то, что я помню.
Что могло измениться с тех пор? Геометрия лезвий одной и той же марки? Терминология или методика измерения?
С другой стороны радиус рокера — это радиус основной, то есть задней части лезвия, а не передней, о которой вообще редко что-то конкретное пишут.
P.S. Надо было дочитать до конца:

| Then, just before the calendar year switched over to the 2000s, MK and Wilson combined into one company. Shortly thereafter they upgraded their manufacturing technique, now using laser cutting to manufacture the blades. The accuracy of the rockers became massively more consistent, except that they also changed their specifications on the blades. Now all MK blades are 7 ft rockers and all Wilson high end blades are 8 ft rockers, including the Gold Seal and the Dance 99. So now, what used to be the flattest blade on the market, the MK Gold Star, has more of a rocker than the Wilson Gold Seal which used to carry the largest rocker of all the freestyle blades. For some reason they left the Coronation Ace at 7 ft and some of the lower level Wilson skates at 7 ft. But now if you start your doubles in a Coronation Ace there is no high level blade that matches that profile. … The first 10 years after this change was very challenging because there was a mix of old inventory and new inventory. |
Получается, все зависит от того когда произведены лезвия, и никакого золотого стандарта (pun intended) вообще никогда не было.
