John Wilson Gold Seal Traditional Vs. Revolution Blades / My Experience

Here is my honest review on the John Wilson Gold Seal Traditional blades VS. Gold Seal Revolution Blades.

I have been skating since September 2021. (I'm not a professional skater; I skate just for fun!) As an adult figure skater, I completely agree with your opinion. I used the Gold Seal Revolution blades for a year but had difficulty with my scratch spin. However, I recently switched my boots and blades due to arch pain. I changed from Piano+Gold Seal Revolution to RF3 Pro and Gold Seal. Now, my pain has disappeared, and my scratch spin has become more stable. Finding my spin rocker was challenging initially, but now it's easy with my new blade. As you mentioned, Revolution's tail is definitely shorter than the original Gold Seal. When I used Revolution, I often fell back because of its short tail. However, I feel more stable now. I don't perform Biellmann or catch foot spins, but Revolution's small holes always frustrated me as they made drying my wet blades tiresome. Initially, I hesitated to buy a new blade due to its high price, but now I believe it was the best purchase I made this year. I also think Gold Seal and Gold Seal Revolution are completely different blades. I apologize for any mistakes in my English; it's not my native language. Have a nice day! From a South Korean skater♡

they could bave plug your boot and install the regular GS. Rev blade is shorter length and mount as wel, so I would get a size up.

Thanks!! 😅 (I thought the revolution looks cool and it could be better than the regular blades!)

I'm having so much trouble with mine too! I've almost completely lost my backspin, and my back inside edges were really hard to control. Turns out my right blade is bent slightly, and it's a fairly common issue with the rev blades. Never again.

i’m having the same problem with my gold seal revs :((( i’m also struggling with spinning as it seems unless the ice is perfectly smooth the edge on the gold seal revs gets caught on EVERYTHINGGG i’m wanting to switch to reg gold seals

[@amyleesuits]

curious why they couldn't plug the holes in your boot and put the new blades on! : O
