Blades with long/no rocker?

[Quintin 16]

Any recommendations on blades with a long rocker or no rocker, lie 5 or 6, mid curve? I'm not gonna buy Black Beauty blades, had tough time with them.

Or would I have to go custom?

sorry if you all think this is stupid but what do you mean by a rocker?

[Quintin 16]

The amount of blade that touches the ice.

I don't know if you can buy them as blades, but my wood koho sticks with the Jagr curve sound's like what you would be looking for.

Very long blade, not much of a rocker to talk of.

Ok, jagr blade being made per hockeymonkey, but not available there.

But at least they are out there somewhere

The 3 on the left are the Jagr curves (excuse the dogs work on the bottome one) to give you an idea of what the blade is like

I think a TPS Sundin is a 5 lie, slight rocker (really flat when I had looked at it), but is a really deep mid curve...

Honestly, I just started using a Hull M-2 blade and it has a fairly flat bottom, I like it a lot.

iginla and shanny clones?

RBK Datsyuk, mid-curve that is just tad open with a pretty gentle rocker, around a lie 6 (i think).

My Datsyuk matches to my Nash (Sakic clone) for lie, which would point to a 5.5 lie.

Recchi has a very small rocker (V60, etc..)

Thats now an Iginla isn't it?

[TBLfan 25]

correct.

Iginla = recchi.

the only difference is that the lie is slightly different and the recchi blade is longer.

Recchi seems a little more closed than an iginla too.

[TBLfan 25]

mine seem pretty dead on.

what are the specifcs on the retail datsyuk

As this thread approaches almost three years old, I wanted to refresh the topic and ask fellow board members what retail blades on the market today have relatively little to no rocker? Aside from Black Beauty blades and Easton's Modano/Forsberg/Zetterberg pattern? Easton Iginla and CCM Recchi I believe were also mentioned?

What others?

I think it would be very useful to include the "rocker" component of a blade within the pattern database.

Thanks in advance!
