NFC blanks

Are the X-Ray blanks their top end blanks, or the HM? I was checking out their sale and website and wasn’t quite sure.
Thanks!

Certainly is confusing, IMO. I think the best thing to do is to look at the Materials section of the web site, where it explains the different materials , at least most of them. Then when you look at blanks, XRays and others, the material is, I believe, listed with the blank description. It appears that HM LMX Lambda is their highest end material except for C602, which is new and revolutionary, and so light you have to tie it down. (Sarcasm alert!)

It appears to me to be, from the bottom to top, SM, IM, HM , 3 different grades of LMX, then C602. lf I get corrected, then we will know for sure.

C6o2, they are very light, they do not sand them so as to not make a thin wall. I have one to build.

They are all fairly noodly in the top section. Cast a light bait great, have lots of power in the bottom, wonder how that $600.00 surf blank is.

APFG is a different ball of wax.

I agree, I've been trying to make sense of this as well. Thanks for the clarification.
