Aloha to all!
Question:
Pure carbon blades or composite? Composite boasts better durability but do they lose any of the performance of pure carbon blades? Sellers of composite blades state that with composite you get the performance of pure carbon but better durability. I have composite and they have lasted better than 7 years of serious use...stay with composite or go carbon? I know every choice of gear is primarily personal, but there are some facts that are universal and those are performance vs durability.
Please respond with any facts that would help me determine between pure carbon and composite...No brand names, just your thoughts/experience with pure carbon blades vs composite. I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs and dive deep. I use composite medium stiffness and have a strong kick. My blades measure 80 cm x 20 cm...pretty standard. There are 85 cm making news, anyone use these extra long blades?
I look forward to the education! After a life of spearfishing, I realize I still have questions:crazy:
Mahalo in advance.
Aloha!
