PVC vs. Bandshoppe

Postby dylangettier » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:51 pm

i was just wondering which of the two would be lighter for an 8ft spear?

remember this is just a question, you dont need to tell me that PVC sucks cause i know that and i've heard it a million times.....

His question wasn't whether or not it sucked. I can see where he's coming from.

band shoppe is a wonderful core for 8' long glaives and spears. there are more superior cores for spears, but suffer from a lack of durability. badn shoppe is certianly the most common and accessable way of making the 8' weapons.

Fiberglass flag poles are superior to pvc in every way.
