A must have for any business selling and sharpening new steel.
SPARX RADIUS RINGS
The Sparx Radius Rings produces the traditional hollows most commonly used in hockey, including the most popular ½” and 5/8” cuts. Choose from 12 different radius rings – from the deepest hollow for extreme grip (5/16”) to the flattest hollow for unmatched glide (1-¼”).
SPARX FIRE RINGS
Looking to get the grip you need with the benefit of extra glide? Our FIRE Ring hollows provide exactly what you are looking for – the best of both worlds. Available in four different cuts (3/8”, ½”, 5/8”, ¾”) the FIRE ring is a re-imagined and optimized flat bottom hollow that provides improved glide while still maintain desired bite.
