tapered or standard?

[LeafsNeedD 0]

I'm thinking of picking up a new stick.

either the Inno Novius or Mission M-2/L-2. any opinions on these?

which is better ... the tapered or standard shaft?

any durability issues with tapered?

thanks!

thats kinda funny b/c I read posts saying Missions twist due to more rounded grip. the 1100 is supposed to have serious durability issues.

I've never had problems with my L2 twisting but I use Helium or Salming gloves that have a little more grip than some others. The Inno problems come from the shaft itself twisting open.

i noticed that the first time i use a novius shaft it has a great kick,but even by the 2nd use a bit of that zip from shots is gone. it happened to my original shaft, and the replacement.

I got rid of my 1100 after I tried and bought the L2. The inno did torque on me and took some off of my (slap) shot. So far, the L2 is the best tapered I have found. If they only made it in a grip.......... :(

how is it compared to a L-2 in term of weight/balance?

or do the novius is the same as the XV?

I think the 1100 was either heavier OR less balanced. I tried the Inno with a Inno and an Easton Si-Core blade and it still was not as nice as the L2 (with an L2) blade.

i really don,t liked my L-2 with a L-2 blade...with a synthesis or a wood blade it was much better..

anyways i never tried the INNO but i can say the L-2 is a great shaft..if you can find the right blade for it!

do you already know you really like the L-2 ? if anybody were to get any two peice stick i would suggest the R xn10 2

Its def. the lightest and has an awsome feel to it. IMO

wow, I wasn't expecting so many negative things being said about Inno Novius.

I'll take a closer look at the L2 or M2.

thanks for all the info, but no one answered my question about whether tapered shafts are any less durable than standard ....

well there no difference it is just a different hosel lenght...i mean if you look at an other angle..

the only thing is...you will certainly never break a blade at the hosel since it is so small. let say you play with a Z-carbon you might broke it at the focus flex zone...but you will never broke a synthesis cuz it is soo short in length
