Light standard blades

[TBLfan 25]

I'm looking for a light standard blade. I searched but most of the topics about blade weight are specific and/or about tapered blades. I have a standard flyweight that weighs next to nothing so I need a blade that is really lightweight to keep it balance. So far the only blade I could find was a Fury composite but I don't like the lidstrom curve. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated because it is my favorite stick... even though the curve on the blade sucks.

thanks guys, care to let me know how you like the blades? (if you have used them, of course)

Looking for a mix of durability and feel.

So far, if those numbers are correct, I'm thinking the AK because the Fury blade is about 165-170ish and the balance is phenominal. The combo is about 465 grams but feels like it's 200 grams, it's the best balanced stick I've ever felt.

I have used both the TPS and the z-carbon. The TPS had great puck feel and durability. The Easton also had great puck feel while the durability wasn't the worst, it was not the best either.

I haven't used the TPS, but I like my cnt z-carbon. My only gripe about it is that I prefer a thicker blade. (but thats just personal preference).

Those blades have pretty good feel too. I just found the modano-ish pattern wasn't stiff enough and would open up if you shot from anywhere other than the heel.

The durability on CNT blades for me was pretty poor. I dont go through sticks much either. They were however super light and they had a good feel.

6 month for a sicore z-carb playing 4x a week. after 6 month the blade is getting softer and softer that it is better to change the blade.

Do the Inno/Warriors still blow out Easton shafts at the insertion point?

i dont know mack, but funny you brought that up. i thought it was just shitty easton shafts (UL and Z Bub) I switched over to inno shafts just because of that problem. not to get off topic, but i wonder if inno/warrior tappered blades break synthesis/syn deuce shafts

[mack 44]

Never tried the tapered combo but I've had standard shafts broken by them since 2002.

Ak 27 blade by warrior is unbelievably light I used one for a while and my two piece felt like a one piece weight wise.

[TBLfan 25]

Just updating: I bought a z-carb cnt, it weighed it at about 177 grams. I thought it weighed more than my Fury blade and I was right, all of 7 grams :lol:

So I've got a combo that's nice and balanced and weighs in at about 470 grams. Blade has nice feel with a smart hockey ball, haven't played with it yet on the ice but I'm thinking it will be a nice setup. Thanks for the help guys.

Do you guys know any light wood blades? As long as the have a forsberg/modano.

Anyone know where to get hybrid lamis in the GTA?

try 1 of the easton hybirds

easton RB pro, NBH one40 (PM9 St. Louis is the modano clone) are some of the lightest I've used. one60s are also light, and more durable than the one40.

The Hybrids are kinda heavy and don't offer the same feel as a regular wood blade, not does it gain enough performance to warrant use for me. If i wanted the performance of a composite, I'de just buy a full composite blade. I'd say the only advantage it's got over wood is that it doesn't soak up as much water, and over comp. is obviously price.

Oh alright thanks for the help bro B)

I liked the 0ne60s performance, but durability was an issue with it

I don't know the weights, but you could try the 4.0 hybrid, or 6.0 composite ccm blades. They have many patterns available, I prefer the lemieux, which is a semi-open mid-heel lie about 5.5-6.
