Dan_The_Man_16 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 I was just at my LHS (and they are known for being a no BS store). I was looking at the stick's and as I was looking at the XX one of the employees tells me that they are basically the same stick, except for the paint job. Is this true, or just a rumour ?

LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 I thought they performed very similar. Some think it's really a 1100 in disguise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_The_Man_16 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 For the people think that it's a 1100, did you find it torqued alot like JR and others complain about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 It's not an 1100, that's been confirmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 It has a similar feel to the 1100, but I think it definitely doesn't have the kick or the torquing problems.I find that it's more similar to the TF, but don't know if it's the same stick or not. If it is, it's good work by Bauer to stop associating a good stick with a bad product name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canhockey7 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 It definately isn't a TFG with a new paint job. If you just think about it for a second, the XX weighs a whole lot less than a TFG, and seeing as how i used both, it seemed to me that the XX performed much better, and there were some little differences in feel that i could notice.

Vapor 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 The shaft feels similar, but the blade feels better. Didnt the TFG use the wavebrige blades, and the XX use the XV blade? Maybe thats it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elias#1 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 Actually the XX's have wavebridge blades too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 I only picked up a XX once but it didn't have the same handle shape as the TFGs that I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ambro 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 The XX is very similar to the TFG in many aspects. Weight, blade, feel, concave shape, stick'um grip, etc. Anyways, I believe that they may be the same stick, but if they are not, extremely similar. It is definately not worth double the price though.

JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 The TriFlex name did absolutely jackshit for them...too many people associated it with the awful red/silver stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenneth 5 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 isn't the xx a taper and tfg a standard shape even as a ops? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 Nope. TFG had a 21" taper, longest in the biz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bulletproof_funk 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 I can't see how the XX and TFG are copies of each other. The XX flexes like a tapered shaft while the TFG flexes like a standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bulletproof_funk 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 Just to get this right. the silver and red TF is bad. but the TFG is good right? In short, yes. The red TF came in nothing flexier than a 102 which I believe many people saw as bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggie 9 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 Maybe the TFG has a fiberglass outer layer and the Vapor XX does not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
