X1 Blade vs Common Carbon Fiber Plate - The Difference

Contact Name: Steve Phone: 847 XXX XXXX Email Address: sbxxxxxxx1157@sbcglobal.net Comments or Questions: 

I was wondering if you could tell me how your product differs from the Springlite Mortons toe plate. I was looking to have a set of 3. 

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve - 

Springlite like all carbon fiber "plates" are like dinner plates. The density and material used is the same throughout the object. Thus the name "plate."

The X1 Blade on the other hand has density zones that change so as not to restrict the entire foot but only that zone under the great toe. 

Also there is a significant difference in materials used. Common carbon fiber plates use a single unidirectional carbon material that make them brittle and restrictive. The X1 Blade utilizes four different materials (two composite, one glass, and one unique plastic) that increases the performance, life and durability of the X1 Blade over a common carbon fiber plate.

Also the coefficient of friction at the foot/blade interface is significantly lower in the X1 Blade vs. a common carbon fiber plate thus reducing the incidence of blistering under the great toe during competition. 

Thanks for asking the question. X1 Blade "The best turf toe insert in the world1"
