Sherwood 950 blade

[roadrunner 12]

I'm looking for opinions on this blade. They're priced pretty good at 16.99 Cad at Sportschek. I like the Coffee curve too, but I was wondering what the durability is, they feel pretty light. Any personal experiances?

I had one and it got soft very very soft like after 3-4 times of use. then i broke the next practice. probably one of the wort blades i've ever used. i defently would not recommend it, but it also didn't help that i hate the coffey pattern. Just my 2 sense

i actually liked the blades alot. they have a great feel for the puck and they lasted me about a little less than a month. hell for 16 bucks, why wouldnt you buy it, just to try it out .

I would only be using these for ball hockey on polished concrete so I'm not worried about water making it soft. I might pick 2 up when they have the 2 for 1 deal in the fall.

I've had good experiences with that blade for ball hockey, good feel and the curve helps stickhandling

sherwood blades aren't good for ball hockey, whether it's smooth concrete or not. they'll fray apart and break off into splinters easily. i loved mine for ice hockey though. if you want a good blade for ball hockey, look for the v20 blades i believe, the abs ones, in a thorton curve if you're looking for the big hook. they'll last a lot longer

They go soft ver very soon!!!

i liked mine, but, like just about everyone has said they do get very soft very quick. and i wouldnt recomend using them on smooth concrete becuase they will most likly splinter.

I found the SOP blades and the SOP 9950 stick lasted me longer then the retail 950 blade or the 7000 stick.

the durability on em is prob like any other wood blade. i use the bouchard rite now in my ultralite shafts. i have 5 z-carbon blades, but i use 950s over them.

I just bought one like 2 hours ago and I really like them. And if you think the those blades go soft quick you should see how quick the 5030's blades get soft. The first time I used one it was done by the end of the practise.

Have to agree with morrow on the 5030, they go soft incredibly fast. i used a 950 in my Genesis for inline lasted about 5 games before it was replaced.

I got about 3 games out of my last 950 Coffey, which is quite a bit less than I get with most of my blades. I seemed to get more out of the Sherwood blades a few years ago playing High School hockey. I don't know if the blades changed or me.

Thank you for all your input I will definitely try them out when the 2 for 1 deal comews along.

I had a 3-pack of these in a Bondra pattern and used them for Ballhockey. Nice curve, not too heavy but totally weak construction in my opinion. I broke two of them within one period during the first game I used them. The third one lasted me a combined 6 hours of prcatice until it broke just like the other two. Right throught the hosel taking a slapper.
