predshockey17 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2004 Hey I got ahold of a Eclipse for 1o bucks today. It had tiny crack in it. Is there any way to pop the blade out if it breaks. P.S. It is a taper shaft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

predshockey17 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2004 It doesn't look like that will be the solution. Maybe that is all i have to do. Because it just looks painted over. I don't know ill take it to my lhs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest phillyfan Report post Posted May 8, 2004 Painted over by the player, or the Sherwood Graphics? If its the OPS, theres an easy way to remove a blade so you can fit tapered blades, if its just the shaft, just take a heat gun and remove the blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest phillyfan Report post Posted May 8, 2004 I know that, but I wasn't sure if it's an OPS with a cracked blade, or a broken Eclipse with a cracked tapered blade inserted with black paint over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted May 8, 2004 The Eclipse says "taper flex" on the shaft. The bottom of the shaft and the blade are painted black on the older models, though th epaint has nothing to do with the actual fuse points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted May 9, 2004 I don't know yet. Once I break mine I'm going to give it a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted May 9, 2004 I hardly ever use it because of the flex and feel, It's about 7 or 8 on my depth chart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
