Dolomite vs Dolomite Spyne

[t6lock 24]

so i have a choice between getting the dolomite or a dolomite spyne (2010 models) and please correct me if im wrong, but it seems the spyne version came out first and then they re-released the stick without the spyne blade technology? is there something flawed with the spyne blade or should i buy the one without?

I've owned em both and they broke way too soon. The spyne at midblade and the 'regular' blade split. But IMO the spyne blade was better.

I have the Dolomite Kovalchuk blade but is deemed useless. The first time I tried to put the blade into a shaft, the neck of the blade cracked (would break into with a healthy clapper) due to the heating up of the glue. And for some reason, the shafts that I have tried to put the blade in fit funny. The blade is always loose. Even in the Warrior shaft I bought. Maybe it's my one time experience, but I'll hesitate to buy the any 2-piece from them. Besides, the lie (4) isn't what I like even though the curve is close to my favorite (P88).

From what I remember

Dolomite DD/HD = Low Kick Point (Tapered)

Dolomite Spyne = Mid Kick Point (Standard)

The 'Spyne Technology' probably isn't anything more than hyped marketing ploy with little or no effect on performance. I think the re-release may have been with the DD foams rather than the HD blades.

Had them both, Spyne was useless. I'd go for the regular. Both broke easily at the blade, but I much preferred the feel of the non-Spyne model.

No kidding. The old, original Dolomite models were super tanks. Now I'm afraid to buy a newer one because of their issues, oh well.

there is something that compares to the original Dolomite in warrior? (black/green/orange)
