yeah definitely no on the 1 piece outside. a 2 piece with a tapered blade will be just as good as a 1 piece except you can replace the blade when it breaks/wears down. i wouldn't waste my money on a composite blade outside though. only if you're playing indoor in a league or on ice would i spend good money on a nice blade. if you're just practicing and messing around outside, you can pick up some cheapy blades for around 10 bucks.
edit: you might want to look into a standard shaft though. it's easier to find the cheapy blades for standard shafts. most tapered blades i see are pretty high end and not many wood/abs for outdoor use. |
