Easton (forsberg) to Bauer (?)

[hurricane 0]

I curently use a easton forsberg/madono curve I was thinking of trying out a bauer endure (Got gift Certificate for my B-day) What bauer curve would best match Easton's Forsberg curve. I looked at the Patterns but I use a mid-heel, Slight curve, 5 lie-- Bauer dosent seem to have anything that matchs completely.

I believe that the Hossa curve is the nearest match to the Forsberg.

Not near. It's exact.

If the lie on the Hossa is indeed the 5 that most people on this board believe and not the 6 that Bauer has published, shouldn't Bauer correct this mistake?

Correct the Hossa is the same...The Endura blade is a pretty good buy as well...

Depends who you talk to about the forsberg blade too...Some say 5 others claim 6 lie

All depends on how you measure it. The Hossa's I've had in the shop were slightly above 5.

How about this, Hossa= "similer to forsburg".... or Hossa= "closest thing to forsburg" lol

I talked to the Bauer rep at the MSH game about the Endure blade and he said that it's a Vapor X w/ the rubber insert. He also said that the Vapor X will be no more and that the only standard blade will be the Endure. The XV is no more BTW.

The lies on the Hossa is exactly the same as the Forsberg. I have an SL forsberg and a couple Vapor XXX Hossas and the lie is identical, along with the curve. Everything is the same.

did he say anything about shafts? or is endure the only shaft available now?

I've seen all the Bauer shafts in my LHS and no indication that it should change anon, their words, and the Endure Blade is pure money.

Really like the Endure RB, last night a guy stepped on it precisely where the rubber insert starts, so now I got a big gash in the rubber, but a perfectly fine blade underneath. :)

Feel & Weight are pretty good too IMO. Like people stated, it's a X blade with a rubber strip on top...

From what I have heard...Bauer still has stock of the X shaft and blade and the XV shaft and blade, but they are not producing these any more and once they are gone, they are gone.

Their only current production model is the Endure shaft and blade

I also use Forsberg and when my Z-carbon blade broke I went with a hossa blade. No difference was noticable. I would recommend it. Not that it really matters after 20 posts that say "hossa"
