somebody I know wrecked with them and they had a layer of fiberglass on the inside...so basically its a fiberglass blade with a small layer of carbon fiber on the outside....I personally would stay away from them...go radix!

You're aware that nearly all of the strength of a blade is in the carbon shell, right? The "old" TT blades had a really soft foam in the middle - as do many other blade brands. That foam doesn't do much to stiffen the blade.

As a side note, the MAH blades I've wrecked had a cross section of the following:
Bass Spar
Carbon shell
Air.

And MAH blades are very stiff; one of the best blades around, though they are as expensive as VBlades - if not moreso.

I wasnt saying that it was a bad blade,just look at the other options you can have for the same price or less...

I haven't checked the price of the new TT blades - but with the "old" models, they were always the 2nd cheapest carbon blades I could find (the cheapest being Maverikk).

'Course that was before Radix blades came onto the scene at the same price. I don't have much of an opinion on Radix blades so far...
