ORC

Are you looking for a universal blade that excels in technical play and backhand shots? Then FatPipe ORC is the right choice for you. This blade is ideal for experienced players who value precise control of the ball and a quick transition between forehand and backhand.

The ORC floorball blade from Fat Pipe is one of the best blades for technical players. Basically, it's Fat Pipe's most versatile blade. The ORC is a straight blade and has a distinctly smooth and straight backhand side. The result is an excellent backhand game.

The forehand side has a concavity of 8 mm, which is the same from the heel to the tip. The blade is slightly curved about two-thirds of its length, but the tip remains straight, which is not exactly ideal for pull shooting. Unfortunately, you will not find the classic Fat Pipe hook on this blade either. So pull shooting is really more challenging with this blade. However, if you have a mastered technique, this is not an obstacle for you.

FH

FH, or factory hook, means factory bending (pre-bending) of the blade. FH technology (bend) can be applied to any blade. So what is FH? FH is a simple pre-bend of the blade. The classic production process ends when the blade is pressed. The FH bend continues here. The blade heats up and its tip bends inwards and downwards. According to the degree of bending, we distinguish 2 types of FH bending:

• FH2 - the curve of the Factory Hook 2 (FH2) is concave along the entire length of the forehand of the blade, popular for shooting from the range. The tip copies the standard bend of the blade. The backhand of the blade is more cut, but still suitable for guiding the ball on this side of the blade.
• FH4 - the curve of the Factory Hook 4 (FH4) is concave along the entire length of the forehand of the blade and with a slightly pre-bent tip downwards, popular especially for fine ball control. The backhand of the blade is more cut, but still suitable for guiding the ball on this side of the blade.
• FHPM - a special slight bending of the blade intended for game creation, not for shooting.

A blade modified in this way will help you with loops, pull-ups, wrist shooting and a little bit with pull shooting, but it is not significant in pull shooting. There is almost no difference in the hammer and backhand shot compared to the original version of the blade.
