What other OPS are "blade heavy"

Recommended Posts

Ok, so a few months ago I bought a bauer truflex gagne OPS from a fellow MSHer here.

Prior to that I have only used woodies, and still do, I still only own that one bauer truflex I bought.

I really like the feel to the stick, and I think the reason that it hasn't broken yet (based on what I read here and the durability of other OPS) is that I am not that good, still learning, so don't put too much flex on it, (for what its worth, my slapshot sucks, my wrist shot is very average).

Anyway, almost everyone I talk to says "Its a tank of a stick, but its blade heavy, its not that well balanced"

Well, to be honest, I love the feel of it, and the weight of it, and the balance. I am not sure if that will change as I get better, but I was wondering, are there other sticks out there now that are "blade heavy" or similar in feel to the bauer truflex stick.

It's a 102 proflex, RH gagne curve.

Thanks

I have a Synthesis 85 flex with a pro stock Synthesis blade. The blade is definitely heavier than a retail synthesis, and it's quite blade heavy. Doesn't really help much though, does it :D If you want to try a blade heavy 2-piece setup that is an absolute tank for reliability, try an Easton Ultra-Lite with an Easton Ultra-Graphite blade.

I agree on the si-core, i used a stealth before and going to the si core it felt like a tank and it was definitely pretty blade heavy. There also still cheap at sport check if you can find one there.

The Tour Burner is quite blade heavy but very limited in terms of curve patterns. As a matter of fact, I think there's only one generic pattern available right now, lol.

can't speak for the SR. But the int. hex-1 is very well balanced for me - not sure how big of a difference a junior blade makes in this case. Can't be more than like 15-20 grams. In fact, Going from the hex intermediate to my novius w/ r2 woody made me think the inno was blade heavy (shaft 290g + blade ~150g) even though it's a fairly balanced combo.

Just to clarify, I am not specifically looking for a blade heavy stick. The Truflex was described by more than one person as being a blade heavy stick.

By balancing it on my finger, its not a midpoint balanced blade.

I am simply looking for a stick that has a similar feel to the truflex, as they are not being made, and its just lasted me for this long, and feels so good.

If that makes sense
