A sort of blade

[#28tz 0]

Im looking for a composite blade that will last. Some composite blades when theyve been worn a bit along the bottom you can see a slightly woodish colour appearing and these blades are the ones that dont tend to crack along the bottom, such as the mission L2. But some blades ive used, like the inno's just have composite all the way through and along the bottom so crack easily, and bits of carbon start breaking off.

What blades have this durability along the bottom as the L2 isn't an option as im looking for standard blades?

I didn't have good luck with my CCM vector Comp blade. I dont remember exactly which model it was but it had a wood strip down the middle. Broke in less than a month.

I'm pretty sure Mission will have standard comp blades out soon...

I just find that the ones that are total composite dont last and crack along the bottom like my innos as i play on wooden floors aswell as ice but my L2 held up fine.

Nope. Except for the really early Xs. They have a pretty thick clearcoat. I played some street hockey with my XV. The bottom is scuffed but has yet to crack or splinter.

How can i distinguish between the newer and older X's

If you want a durable composite blade go with the Sherwood Axion blades. It won't crack along the bottom and has decent performance.

The old ones were overpriced. $70cdn for a wood hosel is pretty bad.

Also anyone have any opinions on the Koho torpedo 3390 or the TPS X1 blade bearing in miind durability on wooden floors?

I've got a couple of XV's from about 9 months ago that are definitely Innos. Ordered another one that will be delivered on Monday. Hope it's the same.

You could try a Vapor VII or Vector V20. The V20 is more of a hybrid blade, but I've had good luck with the durability on them.

I've heard good things about the durability of the TPS X1, but I've never personally used them.

Can anyone compare the TPS X1 or the TPS crossfire with the inno blades in terms of durability and performance?

The V20 blade is superb. I use it for on/off ice hockey and just love it. I'd seriously recommend it.

Ive used V20 before and i just dont like the feel of it compared to some blades.
