Whip

Durable Graphite blade

Recommended Posts

Tired of breaking wood blades.

I am looking for a standard graphite blade that has decent durability.

So far I heard bad things regarind the Easton Graphite and the Easton Ultra Lite blades.

Can anyone recommend me decent graphite blades.

Try and find an Inno blade. Vector blades had good durability, but awful feel. You may be able to find some close-out Appolo and TPS X1 blades on sale that should work out well.

i second the tps x1 blade... i've been using the same blade for almost half a year and now i'm almost hoping it would break so i can buy some higher end blades but i just might buy it again. build like a tank just like my xn10 redlite shaft!

winnwell are cosmetic blem innos that are cheaper. i have had an inno/winwell blade for about 6 months and the only damage it has is some very minor chips. it is still extremely strong.

Look for a newer TPS X1 or a TPS PTC. Those are goddamn tanks. Inno's are not that durable for me. But unless you get a defective one, the TPS should last quite a while.

I'll back the X1 [seems to be getting good press in this thread]. I've had one in my Red Lite for ages now and it's still doin just fine!

Hockey Giant have some LH Tkachuks here if that's any help

Easton pro Z-Carbon if you can find any, I got mine at Peranis.

Inno and TPS PTC are good as well, stay away from Easton if only for the insane prices.

I'll agree with everyone again for the Easton Z-Carbon as I've been using it in my Cyclone for roller for a few months, but it was said that they're not so great for ice in another thread here.

I have been very pleased with the durability of the Z-carb blade for roller. I was having bad luck with them for ice hockey, so my last three I saved just for sportcourt.

Yeah, they really don't like the ice; once water gets into them they go downhill fast.

I've never used it for ice so can't comment, but for roller it's been great!

I would rather avoid the shipping as I am in Edmonton Alberta Canada. Does anyone know where I can get a hold of a TPS X1 Tkauck(sp) left handed blade in Edmonton?

Anyone been to United recently? On their site it dosnt list the X1.

has anyone used the V110 blade? did anyone like them and why? i've been thinking about getting one. I know some folks don't like the feel, but i was wondering if there's anything else

My personal experience with easton graphite is really good i'm using that for 5 month now and have only some slight marks where some material is chipping off on the toe/mid but nothing has changed to feel for stickhandling and "response" when shooting (sorry for my english).

Just dont expect the feel of the wood blade...
