hindianskater5 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 i was lookin at the reebok 8 or 6K blade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flood 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 not 100% but i think the 6k is tapered(correct me if i'm wrong) and i've never seen an 8K so I can't compliment on that. best blade i've used is the Warrior blade. Great feel and has held up better than any blade i've used. so that would be my suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want somthing that is light (which i no the dolomite is) but that can also hold up and perform great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flood 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 tapered is exactly that, there blades that are made to fit into smaller shaped shafts such as the Synergy II and the mission L-2. I dont know how your friend broke two in a month all I know it that mine is going strong along with the 5 other people I know who use this blade, so....

blueliner27 12 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 I'm a dman as well. I used wooden blade (pretty much any kind of brand). If you were looking forward for composite blade, I would suggest go with Easton CNT blade or Easton ST blade. they both were okay for me but I liked CNT one more.

flood 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 CNT had great performance but snapped so quickly, the ST lasted a bit longer but performance went down the tube. for me atleast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flood 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 Just try the warrior. Worst case is you don't like it... and then you can either get something else or have a decent back up... but best case is you love it. How will you ever know how it works for you if you don't try.

#28 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 I would avoid the Warrior AK-27 blade in a Z-Bubble. Although it is a nice blade, it may cause your shaft to snap right at the part where the shaft flares out to accept the blade. This is because the tenon on the AK-27 blade is shorter than the tenon on most other blades and puts alot of stress on the bottom of the shaft when it is flexed. The first time I used the AK- 27 blade in my Z-Bubble, the shaft broke flush with the top of the tennon (about 2 inches from the bottom of the shaft).
