r2 blade

[clinic 0]

dude this is kinda wierd. i just bought an r2 blade from my friend, it's like brand new. and it feels like s h ! t. my shot like is so inaccurate and weak. but when i go back to my synthesis blade, my shot is fine. i had the r2 in my xn10 shaft, and when i had a synth blade in there my shots were fine. iunno, maybe i'll switch shafts, put it in one of my broken synergy shafts. what do you guys think?

could be a couple things maybe....have you tried flexing the blade with your hands to see if it's soft? how about the pattern? are the r2 & sythesis the same patterned blade? and make sure it's a tight fit when you put the blade in...there's no play in the tenon area is there?...

yeah, same pattern. modo synth, tkachuck r2. i put tape and glue on the blade tenon, and it wasn't wiggling at all when i played. it was a bit small for my synergy shaft tho. i flexed it with my hands, it is a lil soft, but not like that one time i broke a synth blade in five days -_____-

Have you checked to make sure that the blade didn't change the length of your stick at all? That could be the cause of your problem.

I replaced a hybrid synthiesis with an R2 wood a couple of weeks ago and it did make the stick a bit longer. Enough that I notice the difference.

i'm pretty sure that it didn't lemme go check.

nope, absolutely no difference in the length of the stick. this is mearuing from toe to end and heel to end. both are exactly the same
