Skate blade rocker is the skate blade curvature form toe to heel. The amount of curvature is measured in feet/radius as though the blade were part of a large circle.

Skate rocker or profile is a critical measurement in skate blade maintenance. Acceleration and pivot points are located at calculated intervals depending upon the size of the rocker. Acceleration point, blade base, and pivot point are three very important areas within the blade curvature or rocker to maintain. Rocker can be distorted through numerous skate blade sharpenings or grindings. The result of these distortions can affect skater balance as well as blade bite. Skater performance will suffer. A quick check of the blade rocker will prevent a lot of trouble on the ice.

Rocker correction must be done by a skilled skate sharpening professional with proper equipment. Use of the rocker bars provides an accurate visual identification of the acceleration point, the pivot point and actual base rocker.
