The Ballangrud 9922 from Zandstra is a long-track skate built for speed skating on outdoor or indoor ice ovals. As a klapschaats (clap skate), it’s designed to help skaters maintain momentum and rhythm during extended strides, making it suitable for training sessions or competitive laps.
This model comes fitted with Noren blades renowned in the speed-skating community for their reliable edge control and consistent glide. Combined with Zandstra’s supportive boot, the setup aims to deliver stability at high speeds and improve tracking on straights and curves—attributes that matter when you’re focusing on technique and lap times.
The term “klapschaats” refers to a hinge mechanism at the front of the boot that lets your heel lift while the blade stays in contact with the ice. By keeping the blade down longer, it extends the push phase of each stride, helping you generate more power and maintain speed over longer distances.
