wood blade for tapered shaft?

[nsa97531 0]

The stick i use is a synthesis and the only pattern i can use is a hull L-2... so last weekend i broke my blade and dont necesarily want to spend 65 US to buy a new l-2 blade. So is it possible to buy a wood hull for a tapered shaft?

I would sing the praise song of Easton to the GODS if they come out with a woody Iginla. I found the Nash R2 Woodie to be pretty useful for an Iginla in wood

are the wood synthesis blade stiffer than their standard hosel wood blades?

I always thought they made their wood blades very soft.

Another nice tapered wood blade is the Bauer 7500 RB. I've used both the Wood Synthesis and the 7500 (Jokinen) and prefer the Bauer. Just my 2 cents...

The 7500 is nice but so bloody expensive in Canada. it's 39.99

I forgot it's only Modano and Sakic from them isn't it?

Messier R2 is close as is the Christian #5 and both come in wood.

yea chadd only modo and sakic!

the closest should be the 7500...becaus ei heard the r2 was a really soft blade the 7500 look pretty nice...but i'm wondering for the balance of the shaft...

Wood is wood, beside they're all short hoselled anyway, so it shouldnt be bad.

Wood is wood

Actually, I would have to disagreel--wood is NOT wood.

Depending on type (I believe most blades are now made of Ash), grade, and other factors like grain, cut, and humidity--wood blades can vary greatly in durability and softness.

I love the initial feel of TPS blades, but find that their wood deteriorates fast.

Higher end Bauer blades like the 7500 seem to have a better grade of wood and hold up a bit longer.

I saw some Easton pro return Synth woodies on eBay that looked good.

The Easton pro t-flex woodies are the best I've used.

[mack 44]

Not bad at all, but damned if I'd use them now since they'd be kindling.

Been considering getting custom "Long-hosel" syth blades made.

i just use tapered short hosel blades, but my buddy shaves down standard blades so they fit into his t-flex

Eww....
