Elite5 Aero is very disappointing, even though it was advertised as a speed pad and Artisan Hien clone. It's not even close, it is VERY SLOW (Tested with both 99.5% PTFE and Elite5 POM), completely a control pad and the texture is pretty weak, around at Matrova Violet Mist/X-raypad Aqua Control 2 level. So basically, it's a hien clone without it's speed or texture, a completely different pad. If you are looking for a Hien close clone, you will be disappointed. It's even slower than a worn out Matrova Violet Mist PU-Soft
Elite5 POM are awesome skates, probably the best i tried. They are pretty fast and huge
