Lightest wood blade

[rollerskater92 0]

I used the search engine and couldn't find anything recent about light wood blades. Does anyone know what the lighest standard wood blade is?

Several people on here have used the Christian custom wood blades and say they are rather light and durable. I have my order in now, just waiting...

The difference in weight between blades is still measured in grams, right? Grams. Grams.

The custom tapered christian woods I have seen are stupid light.

The custom tapered christian woods I have seen are stupid light.

I wanted to know standard, but thanks anyway.

The Christians are available in standard... Standard or tapered, short or long hosel...

anything custom or pro stock is lighter/better from my experiences.

I was just snooping around the Christian/harrow site and it looks like tapered blades are short hosel. I've got shafts set up exactly as I like them and need a long hosel. Can anybody point to info on tapered/long hosel wooden blades from Christian? Also, where is there info on the site for pricing custom blades. I'm a native Minnesotan who grew up with Christian sticks and would love to give them some business (the sale to Harrow notwithstanding).

Thank you, Remman!

From all I can find, they appear to be a Colorado based company.

Bauer XXX wood blades are pretty light, as are TPS R2's and Easton Synergy wood.

most high-end wood blades are light. If you're looking for the lightest someone has a lot of running around and weighing... and that someone is not me.

Do a search. There are other companies, and I believe Sherwood is one of them. Someone else may be able to confirm that.

Yes, my LHS does Sher-wood custom wood blades. I am think about getting some done?

I have tried many different wood blades, and in my experience the lightest wood blade by far is the Bauer One80. I don't have any numbers or data to back it up, as I am only basing this on relative comparisons (the One80 is lighter than all the other wood blades that I've used, but I can't say by how much). I really liked the One80 because you get the feel of wood but it is so light it is nearly as light as some composite blades, and it is standard taper. The only downside is that the One80 wood blade is really not all that durable. I simply couldn't afford to keep buying a new blade every 2 weeks ($25 each), so I switched to a Montreal blade.

are ballistik custom blades good and how much do they cost?

[jww83 0]

Slightly off-topic, but has anyone had experience with the Easton Pro wooden replacement blade? How is it for durability etc?

[lyle.m23 0]

i use the easton pro wood on ice and in the street and i love it although i just snaped my one for street it did put up a fight.

as for ice its perfect not a sctatch on it only thing bad is after a while you can get big air pockets under the fiberglass and its not very stiff. but other than that i cnt think of anything better.

Just bought an Easton Classic woodie (full wood stick), played one game, and the blade is cracked at the heel and another crack towards the middle of the blade. Hopefully I just got a bad stick, otherwise this beats the Bauer One60 for fastest wood blade breakdown.

The Ballistik hockey webpage has the average raw weight of their custom wood blades at 200g.
