Unihoc Plastic Types and Floorball Blades

Choosing the right blade is just as important as choosing the right shaft model, as the blade is the outermost link between the player and the ball. Having the right blade is therefore of utmost importance, and you must ensure that the blade's pre-hook, curvature, and plastic type are carefully selected to suit you specifically.

Plastic Materials in Unihoc Blades

Regular PE

The most common type of plastic in a blade. Maintains its shape well and provides a solid feel when handling the ball. This material is marginally heavier than PP. This plastic is easier to hook as it does not require as much heat. Available in three different hardnesses: Soft, Medium, and Hard.

Feather PP

Has a lower density than PE and weighs less than PE. This type of blade is often used for lighter sticks. Maintains its shape very well. This type of plastic has a softer feel on the ball than PE plastic. Available in Medium hardness.

Titan PP

A harder type of PP material that remains firmer during shots but still has the same soft feel and low weight as PP FEATHER LIGHT. Hardness: Hard.
