Hi everyone. I'm after some advice if that's OK.
I upgraded to risport rf3s and coronation ace (preowned but barely worn) last year but only skated on them a couple of times before my country went into lockdown and our rinks were closed. My left blade didn't feel right but I put it down to getting used to them.
Since returning to the ice a couple of weeks ago I've realised there is something not quite right. My blade feels wobbly (screws are all securely attached, I've checked them), at times crunchy and at its worst unstable. It feels like it is pushing me onto an inside edge and I'm struggling to maintain an outside edge on that foot.
I've looked at the blade thoroughly and can't see any dents or nicks or anything.
I am taking them to my skate tech who is very experienced this week but wondered if I should be looking at having them sharpened first to iron out any surface issues, or if I should be looking more at remounting/realigning? Or if anyone else has had similar issues and how they were resolved? I am really happy with my skates, and the other foot is perfect, it is just the left one that is starting to hold me back as I don't have the confidence in that blade.
Thanks in advance!
