About Skate Hollow: ROH & FBV
Skate Hollow helps hockey and figure skaters pick the right radius of hollow (ROH) and understand exactly what it does to the blade.
Pick a hollow and instantly see:
- Bite (edge) angle — how much the edges grip the ice
- Hollow depth — how deep the grind sits
- FBV equivalent — the closest Blackstone flat-bottom-V feel (100/50, 90/1, and more)
- Inch and millimeter, side by side
FIND YOUR HOLLOW
Not sure where to start? Enter your weight, skill level, position, and ice hardness to get a sensible starting-point range, based on widely used sharpening guides. It is a starting point, not a rule — your final choice is always yours and your sharpener's.
SAVE YOUR SKATES
Keep a list of your skates with their preferred hollow, FBV, and blade width, so you can tell any shop exactly what to grind.
