Living up to the Asian stereotype :P ....bought my first car, a new 08 Civic, about a month ago.

I got a novel idea...go look at some pictures and compare :P lol, I'm in a pissy mood. Think they XPs, btw.

Always admired these from afar, I'd have gotten them if they came in XL. Did you consider 5030s as well? If you still want a pair, I got some...a bit too large for me. Not made by Bauer though.

I like the dome but just don't feel the visor. It looks a little too boxy. Just the HLC visor essentially

I have exactly the same washing machine :lol:

Like that Vapor XXXX...

You get a bunch of custom blades done? I assume they all look like the curves in the pics. Lidstrom-ish? They working out well?

Always liked how the 1100s looked, also like your XX's...I personally haven't seen the all black, just black and white.

Cowling swap? I don't recognize those ones either.

I was looking at their stuff a while back and wasn't too excited about the $200 Canadian and shipping, etc. Did you buy it directly off their site or is there some where else...possibly cheaper?

Ultra Lite- White Reviewer Background: 6', 155 lbs. Ice, Adult League- generally 1-2 ice times a week. Usage before Review: 15 ice times. Test Blade: Bauer one40, TPS woody (forget which model) Shaft shape/flex: Flex feels right on, I've finally found something I like after using a stiff flex and a intermediate flex. The shape is a bit boxy, and bigger than the others i've used, but not by a whole lot. Felt a little different in my hands at first, but not really an issue. 9/10 Stickhandling/passing: Great feel with the wood blades I've used. It is definitely more forgiving with a wood blade and provides great feel. Being somewhat of a noob still, I feel that I've improved in this area once I've switched. 10/10 Weight/ Balance: Surprisingly light even with a wood blade and very balanced as well. Idk the exact weight, but I'd say it is under 500 grams in all. Noticeably lighter than one of the heavier OPS I use, the Vapor V2 which is around 530g...on par with the Montreal Nitro this replaces. 10/10 Shooting: Shots had a very nice pop with the shaft. My wrister and snap shots are nice with the shaft and feels better than it did when using the whippier stick that I was coming from. Can't comment on my slap shot as mine isn't that great and I hardly use it. I can tell the shaft loading is a bit different, but I'm not good enough to really know if using a standard has got that big of an impact. 10/10 Durability: Hear great things about the durability of this shaft BUT apparently these newer ones have no clear coat so the paint chips horridly. My stick is pretty splotchy with all the paint chips, but structurally is sound so no worries there. 8/10. Conclusion: Very nice shaft overall. This is my first high-end standard shaft after not finding any decently priced OPSs any where. Having lots of standard blades is a plus too. I definitely like this shaft a lot and is definitely good all around, well worth the money I spent. Just disappoiting the paint chips like hell. 9.5/10

Now that's interesting....do a stick repair on two different parts of a broken stick?

Those the same ones a few pages back from someone else on here?

Looks exactly like a prostock I wanna get done...cept the lie looks a tad high. Sent you a PM. Did you need to polish your edges at all? And you got a pic of the 690..wanna see that angle of the visor you mentioned.

Prostock visor? And is that a HS22 on the 690? Been thinking bout switching to a HS22 on mine..
