Easton Thornton

Could anyone tell me what the lie of this blade is? I found some cheap wood ones on ebay:

Thornton blades on ebay

I could always ask the guy selling them, but I thought someone here could probably give me the right answer in a matter of minutes.

Thanks

5.5 I believe. If I was home I could compare it and let you know for sure.

If those weren't kindling I'd be on those in a heartbeat.

give it time and I'm sure you'll see another Thornton blade form Easton.

[mack 44]

Maybe in name, but I doubt in that pattern. Easton pushes bananas and ugly midget blades.

Thornton was Easton's best curve ever. EVER.

Thanks Chadd. I was right about a reply coming in a matter of minutes! I ended up buying a couple.

that is the BEST curve ever didnt that replace the "hull" pattern they used to make?

[mack 44]

I don't remember the Hull having the same curve, but it definitely replaced the Ciccarelli.

The original leetch and the old xtreme graphite sakic were two other good ones.

I'll agree with the Sakic, it was a small mid curve with no extra loft and a fairly decent length blade. The Leetch didn't change much when it became the lidstrom. I haven't looked at a new Lidstrom in a while to compare them.

[mack 44]

I don't know, I remember back when Easton sold actual pro patterns there was a Leetch that was similar to the Thorntonelli, but I thought he used a toe.

[Chadd 916]

I did see some crappy low end wood blades like that but no two were the same.

I just remember it being around the time you could get pro blades (always seemed to be Roenick, Gretzky, Granato) in shafts and I could never find a RH model.

I had one of the Roenicks, I used that in my pro gold for a while. I saw a ton of the Kariyas back then as well. Is it the same curve that they made in the UG and UL version as the Leetch?

[mack 44]

The one that turned into the Lidstrom? No, this thing looked like a carbon copy of the Ciccarelli/Thornton. Nice subtle heel, not a lot of loft.

[Chadd 916]

We never got the smaller version around here.

I used to love the Kariya blade. Then it became Zhamnov (maybe vice versa). Anyone know if there are similar retail curves nowadays?
