TPS Resp+ and Synthesis Blade

[Stampede 0]

Got a Reposnse+ shaft that the blade has snapped.

Always liked the Easton Lidstrom pattern, hence want to try to put a Synthesis blade in it.

Any advice if anyones has tried it...... best place to cut it etc etc

Cheers in advance

I recently cut two Responses (not Response+) that had broken blades. Each stick had a different location at which the braiding stopped, so I couldn't use that to gauge the cutting point. I also couldn't pick out the fuse point.

So, I used a straightened wire hanger to hook out the foam rubber that was just above the blade, then I used the wire hanger to measure down to the tenon from the butt end. I checked the width dimension against a tapered tenon (0.520" + 2 x shaft's wall thickness).

Then I cut 2" below that, chiseled out the hard foam in the middle, and chiseled out the composite layer from the blade tenon. I chiseled out the blade tenon in thin slices, checking my work with a vernier caliper.

Haven't tried a Synthesis blade but Rebellion blades fit nicely into R+.

im probably putting a woody synthesis in my r+ soon but if you try it first and you like it i can sell you my response and you can use it as a shaft

I cut my Response + about an inch below the S of TPS at the bottom of the shaft and put a wood synthesis blade in it and it fits perfectly.

I cut it at the start of the bumps and put a synthesis no prob.

Cheers guys.

Nothing ventured nothing gained then, I'll risk it for a biscuit. Hell I'm not going to do any thing else with it.
