Your skates come from the manufacturer with a 9ft radius, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches of work radius in contact with the ice surface.  When you measure the blade, the majority of the time there is more material on the toe area of the skate than the heel area which places the skater on the heels of his feet.  When the skate is set up in this manner, it is nearly impossible to obtain a full leg extension and toe extension without experiencing muscle fatigue and pain.

When the skates are balanced, the technician can apply up to a 1 1/2 ft. radius to the skate depending on the skater's application.  The technician will place the rear of the work radius immediately behind the balance point of the body that runs through the Talus bone of the heel.
The front of the work radius is placed in front of the Metatarsus ball of the foot or the "V" in your two big toes.  This results in 60% more blade on the ice for stability and control.

The technician will then ascertain how much of a pitch to place on the skate. A 1mm pitch from toe radius to heel radius will result in the skater bending his knees 3 inches.  The more bend in the knees the more positive pressure that is applied to Achilles tendon which controls all the power at your leg for a complete leg extension and toe extension everytime you take a stride in your skate.

The Technician will be able to control the bend in your knee and your leg extension by shaping the blade of the skate properly.
