Mission L-2 Shaft Reviewer Background: 5' 10", 160 lbs. Ice, High School Varsity. 3 pratices, 1-3 games a week. Usage before Review: 15-20 games + 8 weeks of practice. Test Blade: L-2 comp blade, Elias pattern Shaft shape/flex: Love the 85 flex for wrist and snap shots and lets me take slappers with ease. I love the shaft shape, and it fits my hands perfectly. The shaft is a little slick and tends to slip when I go for a nig shot or one timers. 9/10 Stickhandling/passing: I've never had problems with feel on composite blades, but there was no difference comming from a TPS R2 wood in an Inno 1100. Gives nice passes and dosen't tend to bounce off when receiving passes. 9/10 Weight/ Balance: This is the best part of the L-2, probably the lightest stick I have ever played with including OPS. With the L-2 blade no problems with balance. 10/10 Shooting: Another great part of this shaft, it launches shots. I use snap shots most often and this shaft required little effort to get off hard shots. Slappers do not suffer at all which is nice to have a balance of the two. 10/10 Durability: Great, I have taken, and given tons of hacks on this stick, and nothing but a few paint chips here and there. I have blocked shots with it and no problems, along with being stepped on, nothing but a few nics. 10/10 Conclusion: This shaft is a great deal, espically if you get the two blades along with it. The blades may help with feel, but this is a great shaft on all fronts. Previously I had used an Inno 1100 260 with Tkachuk R2 wood blade and am very happy with the decision to buy the L-2 combo. I can't say it enough but the deal on this stick makes it something thats hard to pass up. After I go through this one, I will for sure stick with Mission buying a L-2 again or maybe a M-2. I recommend this stick to anyone looking for a tapered shaft or OPS. Overall: 10/10
