Harrow & Christian

[KnightII 0]

Ok what's up with these two companies...are they each manufacturing for each other? Example: Christian mfg's wood products sold under the Christian and Harrow names, whereas Harrow mfg's composite products sold under the Christian and Harrow names...or something similar.

Check out the blade charts from each of their websites...they are identical and notice that the one on the Christian site has Harrow's product name listed...the V.3

I'm pretty sure that Christian is owned by Harrow.

Ambro is right, Harrow owns christian. If youre asking if harrow products are good, I would tell you yes. Considering the price of OPS nowadays, these really arent too expensive and the sabre V.3 has a nice feel to it IMO.

Their composite blades are priced in the $40-45USD range so if they're about as decent as the mainstream composites, they may be decent alternatives...their shafts however, are priced along with the mainstream at about $110 for the V.3 tapered.

But you've used the Sabre OPS before and find it to be a decent product...good to know...thanks.

I personally found the Sabre to be the worst feeling of the Harrow sticks that I tried. It felt like having a rock on the bottom of the blade <_< . The V.2 was the best that I tried, it was firing and the blade was pretty thin, something lots of people seem to be focusing on now... One more problem is their durability, they break like no tomorrow.

Anyway, I would suggest you try them if you're planning on buying one, because lots of people have mixed results.

Harrow's website is pretty good: http://www.harrowsports.com/hockey.asp

I especially like the way you can scroll through their blade curve selections and see the blade from 3 different angles (similar to what you can do on Christian's website, but that makes sense considering the relationship between the two).

I've ordered a v3 composite blade from them and it performs just as well as any other blade out there. Not only is the performance on par, it's also cheaper and comes with a 30 day warranty!
