My daughter has been skating on Pattern 99 blades for at least 2 years. I have an oportunity to buy a new set of MK Phantom baldes for $200. With money being tight right now I am thinking of taking the blades but I am worried that they may be so different as to affect her skating. I would hate to have her falling on her jumps and having a hard time with spinning of footwork just to save $260.
The difference I can see is that the 99s have a 8 ft radius and the phantoms have a 7 ft radius. I am not sure the advantages and disadvantages of the steeper curve in the phantoms.
Thanks
