Slazenger Power Blade

Advantages: Nice power to weight ratio
Disadvantages: Grip can feel a little loose

...Just bought this bat ready for the new summer season and I must say I?m very impressed. Weight wise it?s nice and light, although a tad heavier towards the toe, obviously for power purposes although the heavier end allows for a nice heavy swing with less effort in the elbows and wrists. If the bat is 100% with 0% being by the handle and 100% being the toe. The sweetest spot is at about 80%, although the bat is actually quite thin the sweet spot covers the entire face area around the sweet spot. I think this is because of the flatness of the bat this far down. As most cricket bats have a curve like a road where it?s higher in the middle and curves off towards the edges. Although at the sweet spot it seems to be flatter than anywhere else on the bat. Grip is very good; the grip provided with the bat is strong enough, although there...

Review of Slazenger Power Blade Cricket Bat

Blade

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...Blade was first released in 1998, directed by Stephen Norrington, and starring Wesley Snipes as a half human half vampire, who's mission is to slay all the bad vampires of the world. When I first saw this film I loved it, I was a big fan of the comic books, and watching a big screen adaptation was just well worth the wait. I thought snipes was a brilliant actor to play blade, having seen his early films i.e. passenger 57, and demolition man, this guy is a awesome martial arts expert and can kick ass. If I was to explain Blade to anyone who hasn't seen it, I would describe it as a more violent, intense and action packed Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Plot: The film starts off really well; a young man is taken into a secret underground nightclub. At first he thinks everything is cool, then gradually realises this is not the sort of club...

~ The Power of an Immortal ~

Advantages: Excellent special effects, Great narrative, good character development
Disadvantages: None

...~ The Power of an Immortal ~ Blade is a Vampire action film starring famous actor and a personal favourite of mine Wesley Snipes. It was interesting to know that Wesley as well as starring in the film helped produce it. It is based slightly on the Marvel comic of the character Blade but has been changed to make a dark and sexy film. There are many differences between the comic character and the film. I first saw this film when it was first realised on video and my auntie was babysitting at the time. I?ve always been a fan of vampire films and this didn?t disappoint. I know own this and the other two in the trilogy on DVD box set and I never get bored on them. I am also a fan of Stephen Dorff so having both actors in this film just did it for me. ~ INFO ~ Director- Stephen Norrington I hadn?t heard of Stephen Norrington...

As sharp as his blade

Advantages: Wesley Snipes, loads of blood and action
Disadvantages: Not for the squeamish

...I love films with Wesley Snipes and when this came out on DVD I just had to have it! Hubby is used to my penchant for vampire films and just did the right thing by keeping quiet and letting me have my way. I'm sure you all know me well enough by now - if it comes in the genre of horror then I will want to watch it! So we bought this and it had been sitting for a while so we decided that we would watch it last night. Tonight it is one of the sequels (a review will follow!). ***Synopsis*** Blade (Snipes) is a man who is different from other mortals. He is half man, half vampire. His mother was bitten by a vampire when she was pregnant and the "virus" transferred to him while he was still in the womb. She died giving birth, and he was left all alone. Later on in Blade's life he meets Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) who takes...

Yeoman cuts with this blade

Advantages: cuts well spare blade for a yeoman saw
Disadvantages: none

...If you have a yeoman 21in bow saw it might one day need a replacement blade . These blades are available at http://www.wyevale.co.uk or you can always pop into the wyevale garden centre to buy one. A single blade will cost you £3.49. This blade is made of precision ground tempered steel. It has many jagged teeth .This blade should last a long time as it is strong and rust resistant. The blade on a Yeomans saw is fairly as to remove it has a black quick release lever on the end of the saw. just use this and the saw blade can be removed no screwdrivers needed . Fit the new blade into position and then close the quick release lever this will tension the blade and fix it securely and firmly. Would I recommend ? Yes if you have a Yeomans bow saw its good to have a replacement blade handy *Bow frame. This bow saw is a green...

Blade VS Dracula!!!! Hell Yeah!!!!

Advantages: Amazing action, cool characters, brilliant special effects, sublime sound track.
Disadvantages: Storyline very similar to last 2.

...Blade trinity bought an amazing conclusion to a brilliant trilogy and is in my opinion one of the best vampire films ever made. I was on the edge of my seat watching this film and there wasn't a dull moment. The Film Story This is where the blade trilogy fails a little bit, every movie seemed to have the same storyline dressed up in different characters and locations: The vampires are scared of blade so they try to obtain some kind of super-vampire to kill him but he ends up killing it. I.E. # Blood God # Nomak # Dracula It would also have been nice to have an ending where blade doesn't need to be saved by one of the other characters. But as with the other two films, he gets into near fatal trouble at the end. However, having said that, this didn't bother me that much because the action more than makes up...
