skaterboy937 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 I was thinking of getting a TPS XN10 Red Lite shaft. Its 250 grams and I was wondering if a blade that is around 165-175 grams would make the combo too blade heavy. I was thinking of either getting a Salming blade that I like which is 165 grams or the Easton Synergy ST blade. I can get each for under $40 so any other suggestions in the sub $40 range would also be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thejackal 46 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 I have a similar combo but tapered (XV blade and xn10 shaft) and it doesn't feel horribly un-balanced, although its definitly not as blade-light. Reebok 5k, Innovative, Hespeler F4 and Warrior would be my suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 The Salming blade has great feel. I really like them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skaterboy937 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 Thanks for the replies everyone. I was looking at the Hespeler F4 blade. Does anyone know anything about it such as weight and also what are the curves like, they only have Roberts and Weight curves available and I'm not sure what they're like. Any further advice would be helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
