Use jb weld on one of them. Instant practice point! :)

My experience with the 150 trailblazer. I hit forward on a doe at 30 yards broadside and caught shoulder, got about 6 inches penetration. Arrow broke and lost deer ( called tracker dog, we found bed but tracker believes deer will live ).

Next day switched back to swhacker, another doe came to same exact spot. Again I hit forward and caught shoulder. This time penetrated clear to nock, she ran 40 yards and expired.

My takeaways :
1. I made 2 poor shots (or they both ducked a little forward.

2. I wonder if the 3 blades of the trailblazer slowed down the penetration as compared with the 2 blades of the swhacker.

For me, jury is still out on trailblazer, but I've learned my lesson to not fix something that ain't broken ( havent lost a deer yet with swhacker and all have died within sight ).

I appreciate the ideas.. I was thinking of trying some for next year. I always liked a good mechanical just for accuracy..

Soak the head in acetone to remove any manufacturing oils, dry well and use a toothpick to spread JB weld in the important areas . build up a little in front of the closed blades. I have hundreds of shots with mechanicals JB welded shut. Cleaning is important.
