Easton Si-Core Vs. Innovative Blades

[D3nZ 0]

I want to buy new blades for my standard Inno shafts (bought 2 of those Sergei ones at The Hockey Shop) and I am wondering between those blades which ones were the best?? I want a good blade with good feel that will last me a long time and that will not lose it's stiffness after 2-3 games. The price is a factor but both those blades are about the same price (I think). If you have other options for blades you can suggest anything.

Thx

I think Inno makes the best replacement blades that you can buy.

I'd go with the Inno of the two, but I'd highly suggest a X1. I had a GI one thats lasted me almost a year of hard abuse, plus it has great feel.

Also, a Bauer Vapor X wouldn't be a bad choice for std. blades.

Just ordered 2 Innovative Standard Mogilny from Perani's.

I'm using the Inno Mogilny pattern right now. I'm really happy with the feel and durability of the blades. Any of the composite blades can self destruct at any time, but that's a small risk.

I would agree with Chadd in saying that Inno blades are probably the best right now.

I third that, but i'll probably either go for X1s or Nike Apollos (depending on whether it's good or not) if i'm on a budget.

are the apollos going to be standard or tapered? if theyre tapered, i'm gonna have to hook myself up with a couple lemieuxs

Inno, unless you can find a GI Z Carb because those are still the best composite blades I've used.

as far as durability goes, innovative all the way. i've had this smu kariya inno for at least two years now and it still feels great. cuts and nicks all over it and it is still stiff as hell. i had some nash ones too that lasted me a very very long time as well. i haven't used all these pro z-carbs i have for very long, but they seem to be built like tanks.

I would say the si core blade, but easton doesnt make that in a useable pattern for me.

I've personally only have seen them in standard.

Same, has anybody seen PT3 ones? There are only PM6 and PM2s at my LHS.

The GI Z-Carbons don't have the damn focus flex, do they?

[Eazy_b97 1]

Nope, at least the majority dont

Nope, but a lot will still have the UG graphic scheme too.
