Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherwood21 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2005 Synthesis Si-Core blades are tapered, vapor X shaft is standard, wont fitIf it is a Z-Carbon blade then it will fit, otherwise no there's nothing you can do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3 Report post Posted June 28, 2005 I don't know but I think I've seen some si-core standard hosel at my LHS. Am I wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinkfloydspig 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2005 these are standard si-core blades for regular shafts, not tapered thanks for the replies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheechoo 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2005 Even if it's a standard Z-Carbon Sicore, you may have problems. The reason I'm saying this is that I know a couple of people who got Vapor X blades and put them into their Easton shafts (Z-Bubble and Cyclone). The blades were so loose that even several layers of tape didn't make them fit optimally. I'm not sure, but it seems like Bauer standard blades and shafts may be a little narrower than Easton stuff.

mickz 107 Report post Posted July 2, 2005 As mentioned above,Easton Si-Core w/ Bauer Vapor X shaft = No.Easton Si-Core Focus Flex w/ Bauer Vapor X shaft = Yes.I believe the warranty on Easton blades are only valid if you use it with an Easton shaft? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
