OPS & Repl. Blade Weights

[G.M. 0]

Hey Mods. I know that this was somewhat discussed on the "previous" site, but, maybe we can get a list of weights on OPS and Repl. Blades.

I am sure that we would see the weights fluctuate more on the OPS than the blades.

Just a thought/request. Thanks!

Ahhhhhh...

I had done this over on CB. I had the entire list.

Ahhhhhh...

I had done this over on CB. I had the entire list.

So, think we could do a re-post here?

I don't recall ever seeing the list there, but, I think it could go with the Flex Chart & Pattern DB.

I just weighed a Koho Revolution 4490 and XN10. The weights were 522 and 429 grams, respectively. (and the Koho was the shorter of the two, by about an inch and a half)

Actually, I don't have the info, and since said site is dead, I can't access it.

Maybe I'll reweigh them, I don't have time right now LOL :)

No problem. I think the list will give everyone an idea of what OPS and blades weigh.

I think that we'll find that the blades weigh the same across the board, but, OPS seem to fluctuate quite a bit.

That would be a neat thing to have. We'd weigh them without the butt-ends right?

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

The main thing that I discovered is that they are usually 20g more than as advertised ACROSS THE BOARD.

[G.M. 0]

As we know, several reps come by here, and, I am sure there are those "higher ups" in the industry who peek in as well.

What if we were to come up with a standard here?

So, I am proposing the following. Mods, let me know if this is cool. I hope I am not out of line.

OPS

1) WEIGHT OF STICK (without plug)

a. Remove end plug from stick.

b. Measure the stick from the end of the shaft, straight down to where the

measuring tape crosses the end of the blade.

c. Weigh stick on scale, in grams.

d. If it is a Pro Stock/Issued/Used stick, please list the pattern, and if

possible, provide a photo.

e. The listing should be in the following order...OPS NAME / QUOTED

WEIGHT / ACTUAL / LENGTH

Therefore, it would look like this (this is an example; not actual

weights):

EAS SR. SCG Modano 100 RT / 455g / 482g / 57 1/4"

A Pro stick would look like this:

EAS SR. SYNG Modano Pro / 460g / 431g / 57"

Please be sure to note "SR" for a senior stick, "INT" for intermediate, "JR" for a junior.

2) END PLUGS

Most end plugs are between 30g and 37g. Can one of the mods who might

work in a store post a weight on everyone's plugs?

In the event anyone comes across a graphite plug that was made for a

pro, please list the brand, player name, plug length, weight. Please

provide a photo if possible.

Example (this is an example; not actual weights):

BAUER = N/A

CCM = 36g

EASTON = 32g

INNO = N/A

MISSION = 31g

TPS = 33g

TPS BERTUZZI = 42g / 6.5" tapered

3) REPLACEMENT BLADES

a. Take the blade and weigh it on a digital scale on its back, meaning the

backhand of the blade. The weight of the blade should be listed in

grams. Please try and weigh BRAND NEW blades only. If there is tape

on the blade, remove it from the shaft and tell us if it has been used.

b. The listing should be in the following order...REPL. BLADE NAME /

QUOTED WEIGHT / ACTUAL

Therefore, it would look like this (this is an example; not actual

weights):

TPS SR. PTC Morrow RT / 150g / 152g

In the event the blade was used, you would list it like this:

TPS SR. PTC Morrow RT *USED* / 150g / 152g

OPS GLOSSARY

BAUER VAPOR XX = BAU XX

BAUER TRI FLEX GOLD = BAU TFG

CCM VECTOR 120C = CCM V120C

CCM VECTOR 120T = CCM V120T

CCM VECTOR 110 = CCM V110

CCM VECTOR 100 = CCM V100

EASTON SI-CORE GRIP = EAS SCG

EASTON SI-CORE = EAS SC

EASTON SYNERGY GRIP = EAS SYNG

EASTON SYNERGY = EAS SYN

INNO TRUE ONE = INNO T1

INNO 1100 FUSED = INNO 1100F

INNO NOVIUS FUSED = INNO NF

MISSION M1 = MIS M1

TPS XN10 = TPS C10

TPS RESPONSE PLUS = TPS C9

TPS RESPONSE RUBBER = TPS CR

GRAPHITE REPL. BLADE GLOSSARY

BAUER VAPOR XV = BAU XV

BAUER VAPOR X = BAU X

BAUER VAPOR VII = BAU VII

CCM VECTOR V120 = CCM V120

CCM VECTOR V110 = CCM V110

CCM VECTOR V100 = CCM V100

EASTON ULTRA GRAPHITE = EAS UG

EASTON ULTRA LITE = EAS UL

EASTON Z-CARBON = EAS ZC

EASTON T-FLEX = EAS TF

EASTON SYNTHESIS = EAS SYN

EASTON SI-CORE SYNTHESIS = EAS SCSYN

INNO = INNOG

MISSION L-2 = MIS L2

MISSION M-2 = MIS M2

TPS RBX1 = TPS RBX1 (be sure to note whether or not the blade in RTM or PrePreg)

TPS R2 GRAPHITE = TPS RB8

TPS PTC = TPS PTC

I hope something like this is cool with the mods and can be something that eventually, would be added to "PATTERN DB", or, something like it.

Thanks for listening!

dude, you have A LOT of free time on your hands, why do you care so bad? all this weight shit is ridiculous, its not that big a friggin deal. pisses me off.

[G.M. 0]

How about watching your language to start.

It isn't that I have so much free time, but, there is a Flex Chart on the site, as well as a "coming soon" PATTERN DB.

Many come to this site to share knowledge, but more so, because many of us (ranger, mack, lego, and I am sure many others) are gear junkies.

THAT'S WHY!

If it "pisses you off", take your CoreBeam attitude go somewhere else. This isn't that BB.

[sgazi76 0]

I'm definitely interested in the weights and stuff. I'd help if I had a bunch of EQ and a scale.

[Eman24dx 0]

Good idea but that must have been the longest post ever.

[Speed Demon 0]

I definitely agree with this idea. You should do it for skates too, and if possible all equipment.

[Chadd 916]

We may be able to create a simplified version of that but all of that detail may be a bit much.

[G.M. 0]

ljack05, yeah, probably overkill, but, rather have too much info than not enough.

More than anything, I just wanted to get the ball rolling.

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

Honestly, I think it's overkill. Just add 15g to the listed weight.

[sgazi76 0]

Getting info like this is one of the main reasons I come here. I think it'd be a great addition.

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

Okay, I'll bring the crack scale to work and reweigh them.
