im thinking about getting a Bauer Vapor X shaft and i was wondering if any of you have used one or have one (this wasnt in the equipment reviews)

i'm pretty sure it's the same as the nike apollo, just the bauer version of it withs ome stick'um. i've held it in my hands, and it feels identical.

personally i love the feel of my apollo, and since it's kinda hard to come by in my area, if my shaft goes the way of the dodo, i wouldn't hestiate in picking up a vapor X shaft.

wheelbarrow handle, great radius, what more can you ask for (other than taper)...

I thought it was a TFG shaft. If so, it's an excellent shaft.

I know two guys who love'em. One of them likes it so much, he's using his L2 to as a backup!

I don't think they're the same. I thought the X was lighter than the Apollo. The composite recipe is different between the 2. I think the X is made more like the XV tapper shaft and XX OPS shaft, but with a standard 0.620" hossel.

I know this is a nice shaft,even if i never tried it...but i was wondering if it was the same at the APOLLO!

because i'm deep in love with the orange-white graphics lol and i always whanted to try this shaft...but thought it felt too heavy...

defiantly lighter than an apollo

[jbyun04 7]

sounds the same as the apollo to me

Low Areal Weight Carbon-fiber construcion

Wheelbarrow Handle

Double Concave

.620 Composite System

maybe the only difference is Lowkick from Apollo and Stickum from X?

oh and the X is probably lighter

anyhow, it feels the same in my hands...iirc, vapor X shaft is what...320 or 325g?

but in the end, it comes down to pp i suppose. for me, the apollo is plenty light. cheers.

if bauer number are good...vapor X is 290gr

honestly, if I could pick between the two, I'd probably go with the Nike. I can't get enough of that paint job and it's the perfect weight.. It just feels so right in my hands. It's not heavy at all. I really hope Nike is coming out with a Flexlite shaft cause if they do, then I'm getting one for sure
