Hosel Length

[Reaper 0]

Has anyone noticed a difference in performance between regular hosel length standard tenon blades and the Christian short hosel standard tenon blades?

Is it really noticeable or is it one of those 1% type of improvements?

Hosel Length, Does it make a difference?

I ask my girlfriend that question all the time. Fortunately (for me), she's a good liar....

The shorter hosel blades make the stick feel a bit stiffer to me as the hosels don't flex as much. It's a very minor thing but I did notice it when using different blades and shafts.

I used the short hoseled Christian Modano pattern in my new Inno Shaft (before it broke) and I noticed that my wristers were alot faster, flatter and more accurate than I've ever shot before. However, I was still adjusting to snappers and slappers when my shaft broke but when I used the flex of the shaft correctly, those too, were as hard or harder than at any other time. Now I'm not sure if that's because of the shorter hosel of the blade or the shaft because that was the only blade I ever used in the shaft and it was also the first and only time I've used an Inno shaft.

when i was using my z-bubble with a composite sblade...no matter how long was the hosel it was okay!!

but when using a long hosel wood blade...my blade was flexing...and my shaft too...so i had like 2 different flex point which wasnt a really nice feeling!...
