Hi! I'm an adult skater who has been on ice since October 2022 and while I hopefully won't need to upgrade my skates for a few more months, I want to start thinking about what I can expect.
I'm 5'8" and 150 pounds, just starting my single jumps (toe and sal, loop soon). I started in Jackson Excel but killed those in a month, and have been in Jackson Evo since then, so 7 months. I don't feel like the support is dangerously low but sometimes I wish I had more, and the boots have significantly more give to them now when I squeeze them, and I want to be prepared in case they die anytime soon.
I of course plan to visit my skate tech, but he's the only one in my area, and some of you are very knowledgeable so I figured I'd ask here. Would Edea Ice Fly or Jackson Synergy Elite be overbooting for me? I know they were meant for higher levels, but I'm not exactly feather-light, and I have really strong ankle bend. If they'd be too much, what models would y'all recommend? And would Coronation Ace make sense as a blade? Any relevant differences between regular and Revolution?
I like the idea of Edea and specifically Ice Fly, but I could just be being influenced, so I want a Jackson option too, since they fit me okay. I haven't been able to try Edea on yet, but Jacksons are a little wide around the ball and toes, so it might be possible that Edeas will be a better fit. Maybe not, though.
