Blackstone Sports Announces Results of Two Year Long Study Into Flat Bottom V Technology

For those who are not familiar, Flat Bottom V (FBV) technology is a revolutionary new way of sharpening skate blades. The system was designed by Blackstone Sports and is said to give you enhanced glide on the ice, improved agility, and better control. NHL players all the way down to your weekly beer league skaters are all making the switch, and noticing a considerable difference as well. In fact, some players in our own HockeyWorldBlog.com league are using FBV and have noticed a tremendous difference in the amount of glide their blades give them now.

Today, Blackstone Sports has issued a press release containing the results of an independent study verifying the improvements offered by the FBV technology. Check out the full press release below for more information. Be sure to let us know in the comments if you have used FBV and what you think of it.
