Prop Shaft

[gn7]

Ron Grose Racing and Machine provides superior quality, workmanship and ... Patented one-piece forged propeller available;straight off the web page ,,, lmao

So if the tip if the ears of the Grose props snap off, it proves the forging are better than welded ears? How it how the root at the hub helping the tip of the blade.

I have nothing against Grose props. I have no doubt it a great product. But the prop under my GN won 5 championships that I know of in the history I was able to track, and it was made in 1988 and final obtained a small crack in Nov 2012. That's not a bad run under a blown GN.
I paid 150.00 unseen off E bay, What does a Grose prop cost, and might fail after 2 weekends??

I don't care if its carved by hand with a hacksaw and file, if it only lasts 2 weekends, I try something else.

I the forging is a stronger root/hub, how does that help the rest of the blade. Are you suggesting the forging is stronger everywhere else over milled plate. Are does the ONLY thing it eliminates is the weld?
