The PlayMaker Quad Plates is perfect option for anyone looking to convert or upgrade a boot to Quad/Roller Skates. Playmaker Quad skate plates are made from Xytel, a glass-fibre reinforced polymer (a high-strength nylon composite). This material gives the plates impressive durability while keeping them lightweight, making them a popular and affordable option—especially compared to aluminum or magnesium plates.
Strength & resilience: The glass fibre reinforcement enhances rigidity and impact resistance, making them unlikely to snap under normal skating .
Lightweight: Easier on your legs, especially during longer skate sessions.
Cost-effective: Significantly cheaper than metal alloy plates while still offering solid performance.
