Easton T-Flex and Synthesis

[Geoff]

I have an Easton T-Flex shaft that I like very much, but was getting a little frustrated that T-Flex blades were no longer in production and were becoming a little difficult to find.
I was in my local hockey shop on the weekend and the guy there pointed out that Easton's new-ish Synthesis line is basically an upgrade of the T-Flex, and that a Sythesis blade should fit perfectly well in a T-Flex shaft. Before I spend $40 on a new blade, I thought I'd double-check here first.
A related question: is such thing as a cheap Synthesis blade out there (ie: just a basic wooden blade, as opposed to those carbon-reinforced-type things)? I generally only play outdoors on asphalt, and would prefer to get a cheaper blade if they're available.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure they do. I thought I saw some on epuck a while back... tried to check it now but their server is down for maintenance or something

not sure if thye make a cheaper blade, BUT just FYI

all the tapered blades out there will work with the othe rtapered shafts...... TPS R2, synthesis, inno taper blade, mission ether etc....t flex

epuck still shows the t-flex wood blades available as well as an easton synthesis "hybrid" blade which is about half as much as the carbon one.

Okay great, thanks everyone.
I guess I'll have to go with that $40 blade at my local hockey shop (I'm talking Cdn$ here). The T-Flex blades on EPuck are left-handed only, and they won't ship to Canada. The Hybrid blade would cost about Cdn$40 to order off Epuck, anyway, and though I don't remember exactly, I think the $40 blade at my local hockey shop may very well have been one of those Hybrid things.

Thanks again!
