    The new synergy II blade is it any different from the older one? It says it has synergy elite technology but im not sure if I should believe that? I broke my synergy elite blade so im wondering if I should just get the normal synergy II blade or the "new" synergy elite blade.

    does anyone know if the SE is a true one piece or if it is like the Warrior Dolomite where the blade is put in the shaft and painted to look like one. i ask because i broke the blade on my SE and tried to heat up the hosel like i did with my dolomite to take out the blade, but it wouldn't come out. didn't know if it would be impossible or if i just need more heat. thanks.

    Didn't you guys look at page 12 of the catalogue before you got your Elites? The mirror image of the blade shows you exactly what Easton blades look like after two games?

    Thats not my point, my point is that warranty's have to be made through the company and I can do nothing about it. I told her that at least 10 times.

    So why would you have given a new stick to someone from your town? We don't have an LHS in my town, so I have to go somewhere else. I hope they won't discriminate against me just because of my address.

    Don't get me wrong, I think the woman you described was way off and you dealt with her the right way. But why make an exception for someone local? As you said, it's Bauer's policy that warranties are made directly through them.

    44 is a 5 lie? uh-oh, Heads up boys.

    I'm comparing the 44 and 46 right now, and their lies are different. The 46 would be more vertical.

    To tell the truth, I'm now confused what lie that would make it. :huh:

    That means the 46 is a higher lie, 5.5 or 6

    Chadd, the catalogue lists the #44 with a lie 5 and the #46 with a lie 5.5. That's what prompted by question to Jason. Combining Jason's description with the info in the catalogue, the #44 is a Drury with less twist and a lie 5, aka "a dream blade"! Man, I can't wait 'til July!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Could it be true? Has Salming made the blade I've always been looking for?

    Jason - in a different threat you had mentioned that the #44 is a Drury pattern. However, in the catalogue, the #46 sounds more like a Drury and the #44 sounds like a dream: A shallow depth, lie 5, with an open face (maybe more of a Mission Ribeiro?).

    But you had said you played with the #44 and that it looked exactly like a Drury and also had the 5.5 lie like the Drury. Have the patterns been changed or are the descriptions in the catalogue off a bit?

    By the way, is the Evolution still $195 or has it come down in price with the release of the new top-of-the-line Precision?

    Last question: When will we start seeing the new stuff in the US? Same "in the spring" timeframe as all the other manufacturers?

    Thanks Jason and JR for making the catalogue available.

    I'm a little concerned. Someone in a previous posts was saying something like Inno tapered blades are different than other companies tapered blade. Does that mean the tenons are different size?

    I have a Inno Roberts Pro Tapered blade. Will that fit in any tapered shaft? or only Inno tapered shafts? I wanted to put it into a synergy II shaft or a broken SL shaft. Will it fit snugly? Any help is appreciated

    I have a tapered Kovalev in my XV shaft. The tenon of the Inno blades is the same as those of other companies, so they'll fit in any tapered shaft, but the hosel is about 1-1.5 inches longer. Inno is the only company that I know of that has the same hosel size for their tapered and standard blades, so the tapered hosel is a little longer than other tapered blades, and the hosel on the standard blade is a little shorter than other standard blades.

    the way easton is written in big sickens me, the rest is fine though

    Everything manufactured by Easton now has an massive-ass, IN-YOUR-FACE logo on it now. It's such an eyesore on their gloves - it just looks disproportionate.

    Yeah, but now everyone in the rink will know what brand you're wearing.

    And more importantly, everyone watching NHL games on TV can see what brand the players are using. But that can backfire too: I find that broken Vapor XXX lites lying on the ice are very easy to spot - the half lying in one corner is all white and the half lying in the other corner is black and neon green.

    So the description for the Synergy II blade says "Synergy SL blade technology", but there is no mention of CNT or the apparent durability upgrade of the SL balde. I don't knwo what to make of that. Is the Synergy II blade (1) simply a repainted Synthesis, (2) last year's SL blade design, or (3) this year's "improved" SL blade design? I sure hope it's not (2)!
