Ogie Oglethorpe 14 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 I didn't know Busch was making replacement blades now (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20859&item=7124963245&rd=1)The ones from the OPS were pretty durable and had great puck feel - might be worth checking out. Anyone tried one yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshy207 15 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 I saw them when our rep came around last spring. They're decent looking blades, but EXPENSIVE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neo5370 132 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 They've had the Graf comp. blades at hockeyservices.com for while now. Same w/ the apollo quest comp blade.hockeyservices always seems to be hip to really obscure stuff. no pics though, just a price list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ogie Oglethorpe 14 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Wow... just looked at the price for the Graf composite - $75 for just ablade? OUCH!I do really like those blades though - I'll have to keep an eye out for them in stores (I presume that, unless the prices at hockeyservices.com are in Canadian$, that that web site has high prices).(so, back to what Joshy said earlier.... expensive....)But, Neo, you're right - they DID really seem to have a ton of sort of hard to find stuff. I agree, though, would be better with pix or some sort of description write up.Mikael, a silver blade - you sure it was from Busch? Typically they don't put paint on their carbon fibre stuff....

Neo5370 132 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Silver eh? I really CAN'T STAND rainbow/candy colored silver ish on comp blades. the plain black weave is so much cleaner and classier.ah well, I guess that's what krylon is forand if these busch blades have the same feel as the OPC's, then they should feel great. Love to get my hands on one :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Perhaps "silver" was the model, like their silver, gold, titanium shafts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 I saw those at a Source for Sports a while back and they looked pretty nice. The model name was the Silver or Silver something I forget, but I picked it up and it was pretty light and felt nice and stiff. It was running at $90-100, right around the Z-carbons.
