Harrow composite blades

[HattrickSwayze 3]

I ran a search but didn't quite find what I was looking for. I see that Harrow bought Christian, and the Christian wood blades seem to be really well liked. Maybe I missed the right thread, but what's the general consensus on their composite blades? I have an itch to spend money and I've been wanting to try some new curves. I like the #4 toe curve they have and they're not a bad price either, but I'm wondering if anyone has used these? I'm using a Dolo2 Robitaille right now.

I used one a few years back and I thought they were pretty good. Pretty good for the price and the blade lasted me for about a year.

I tried #3 last season. It broke the first time I used it. Probably just a fluke as it had a cut on the top like someone might have stepped on it.

I have a buddy that loves his. He's a bit of a gear-head(not whore) and he plays very high-level, he's actually one of the few guys in the area that aren't allowed to play on multiple nights. He's been using his for about 2 years and rotates 3 blades in 2 shafts... I think at this point he still has 2 blades left.

They're good blades, I don't recall a single customer of our having a problem with their Christian/Harrow blades. The comp #4 curves slightly closer to the toe than on the wood #4 curves that I've seen.

Ok thanks for the help. It's nice to hear that they're durable. My Dolo2 has been really solid compared to my RBK blade that I bought. My RBK one started grenading within a few weeks of buying it. There's not very many blades with toe curves outside of Europe.

I'd be going with composite since that's all they have on their website right now. The #4 curve looks like a genuine toe curve. I'd like to try a tapered wood one, but I don't want to have to go custom if they're not offering them retail anymore.

Is this the #4? I have a spare tapered wood if you're looking for right handed.

That looks like the 4

Good thing I didn't mutilate it. I got 3 in a trade, one went into a stress test experiment for a project at school, one got the stove put to it and looks like an Yzerman/Lidstrom bastard child, and the third is untouched, never put in a shaft.

I bought two (both Forsberg clones), both tapered.

The first one snapped at the hosel-blade joint the first time I used it.

The second one lasted probably six months of abuse, lots of games, lots of practices, lots of shooting range time. It also snapped at the hosel-blade joint. The blade had no chips or cracks and still looked practically new.

Right now I'm using a Dolo blade and it seems to be stiffer and thinner and more durable, but the Christian/Harrow blade was fantastic. It felt a bit light or hollow to me though. I'd buy another on clearance but would rather have a Dolo blade than a Harrow at full price.

i got a harrow 2 piece stick from claude cuz i broke my stick. the blade felt great but stick broke in half so im done with harrow

That's good because most non-harrow sticks don't break.
