Bauer Pro Sharp VS Sparx

Dave’s Sport Shop offers both the Bauer ProSharp and Sparx machine options for skate sharpening, giving skaters flexibility based on their needs for precision, customization, and convenience.

The Bauer ProSharp machine is an advanced sharpening system favored by players looking for precise control over their skate edges. ProSharp is known for its profiling capabilities, allowing skaters to adjust the blade shape to enhance specific performance attributes, such as agility, speed, or stability. This is achieved through customizable profiles that tailor the blade’s rocker and balance points. Additionally, the ProSharp system uses sensors and programmable settings to ensure that each skate sharpening is identical, making it a preferred choice for those who want a repeatable and highly professional edge each time​

On the other hand, the Sparx machine provides a convenient and reliable sharpening experience, especially for those who value consistency without requiring specialized adjustments. Sparx is popular for its automated process, allowing users to achieve professional-grade sharpening with minimal skill or setup. Equipped with preset alignments, it enables skaters to sharpen their skates at home or at the rink, making it ideal for frequent, hassle-free maintenance. Sparx also offers ease of use with app connectivity and optional features like laser alignment for added precision. Though it does not offer the blade profiling capabilities of ProSharp, Sparx is a reliable solution for consistent edges with each use.

 At Dave’s Sport Shop, skaters can select ProSharp for highly customizable blade adjustments or Sparx for its accessibility and convenience. Together, these options meet the diverse sharpening needs of players, whether they seek personalized performance enhancement or a quick, efficient sharpening solution.
