I am on an introductory adult synchronized skating team. I literally started skating at age 50 and have been doing synchro for 5 years. I have been skating in SP Terries (now 10 years old) on MK Vision Synchro Blades. I just ordered new custom Harlick synchro skates and am pondering what blade to put on them. I have found the synchro blade increasingly more uncomfortable for backward skating on the extremely short tail. At this point I am wondering whether to go back to a freestyle blade or maybe a dance blade. The ones I am considering are the Coronation Dance, MK Dance, Coronation Ace or MK Professional. Can anyone help me with some advice on this decision. Although I have been skating 12 years, because of my late start and non-athletic background, I remain an intermediate skater. In our team routines we do mostly 3-turns, mohawks, lunges and spins. I do not jump.
