I wanted to love these blades SO much but couldn’t adjust to the 7ft rocker. They were amazing for jumping (holy toepick!) and turns. Loved the tapered profile. After a year and a half I ended up switching them as I would feel like I was pitching a lot of the time.

I’ve been in Phantoms for the past 18 years with 3 different sets of blades. I feel like they do last for a LONG time. I have no complaints against my Phantoms and have no desire to ever switch
