Zuperior XS Hockey Skate Profiling

Service Description

Zuperior XS (5′–11′–13′) hockey skate profiling blends a responsive, agile toe with a longer, more supportive heel, giving you fast edge engagement without sacrificing power and stability as you push through your stride. The shorter front radius gets you onto your edges quickly for tight turns and quick transitions, while the extended mid-to-heel section keeps you planted and driving forward. It feels controlled but explosive, easy to turn, hard to knock off balance, and built to carry speed once you get moving. Where more aggressive profiles can feel too “on your toes,” Zuperior XS keeps you centered and connected, letting you attack with confidence and finish your stride strong. Best for players who want agility and stability in one setup, skaters who feel too far forward on Quad profiles, but still want quick edge access, and two-way players who need to turn in traffic and drive through open ice. Less instant “snap” and ultra-tight responsiveness than Quad XS. In return, you gain a more stable platform and better power transfer through the stride. Dial-in tips (optional): Pitch: ~17 mm (reduce slightly if you prefer a more neutral, centered feel) Hollow: 1/2″–5/8″ depending on weight and ice conditions Runner length: Especially strong on 246–254 mm, but versatile across sizes Next steps if you want to tweak: Want more explosive edge engagement? Move Zuperior XS → Quad XS Want more glide and even more stability? Move Zuperior XS → Zuperior Small or Quad 0 Want a smoother, single-curve feel? Test SSM Natural Curve Quick 10 All profiling is performed on the SSM Profile Machine. After profiling, the steel will need to be sharpened to a specified hollow. In most cases, profiling and sharpening can both be done for next-day pickup. Please call or text if you have additional questions.
