what are Sure-grip frames?

[elwood93]

Im currently using Bauer 1000's, but the arch is starting to hurt my feet too much. Im thinking about picking up another pair, but im weary of Bauer skates. What do you think is the most comfortable goalie skate? Ive heard that Graf makes excellent goalie skates, but can you transform them into roller skates? Could some post a pic and explain what sure-grip frames are? Ive never heard of them before.
And you would think that making ice skate into a roller skate would mess with the feel of the skate, cuz arent goalie skates balanced when there made?

SureGrip is a manufacturer of frames for goalies. My recommendation is the H405-5, which is a 5 wheel frame that allows you to rocker the first and last wheel. I haven't noticed any balance problems on my converted skates.

You could use Graf skates as the basis for your skates.

i still rekon you should get the CCM 755's best damn protection for an inline skate around i think. Also i have never had them hurt my feet and they break it very quickly 1 game for me actually.

I would recommend a 4 wheel frame. Most of the pro divison Narch goalie do this.

think about the added weight of the 5th axle, 5th set of bearings and the 5th wheel that you have to carry and move.

I will be stepping back down to a 4 wheel frame myself shortly

Do they make sure-grip frames with 4 wheels?

The 405 is also available in a 4 wheel configuration.

You do add a slight amount of weight with a 5-wheel, but you can also afford to use smaller wheels and benefit from more surface area (wheel-wise) on the tile, which will help with explosiveness of movement as well as balance and other factors.
