Flipping a OPS shaft for regular blades

[dez 0]

If I flip over the broken OPS to put on a regualr blade, will the mechanism of the shaft changed?? I always heard about low kick point, will it be effected and what is it actually??

Anyone have tried the OPS shaft with regular blade and find a difference in feel?

Thx

youd basically be going from a z-bubble shaft to a ultralite shaft or maybe even an octane because theres no kickpoint at all so you shot wont be the same

well i've never shooted that hard with my SL flip over for a Z-carb than my super technologic with 11 inch taper flex added concave corner for a better realease R2XN10 synthesis... so i would call it BS lol...

Only thing is...you might lost like 0 to 5 flex of your original flex rating

wouldn't you just reverse the kick point so its way higher? i guess you could hold your stick really high when you shoot then :)

no, you wouldnt quite reverse the kickpoint, you would most likely create a new kick point..

but the best comparison is going from a zbub to ultralite...

but imho it's mostly hype.. there is nothing that will improve your shooting more than finding the right flex

Can´t say anything regarding performance but when I held a flipped around Synergy of a friend I disliked it right away. The shaft beeing thinner on top just felt "wrong" to me.

My shot is much harder with my R2XN10 than any non-tapered shaft. My goalie used to complain when I got out "the yellow stick"

The balance of the OPS is gone once you flip it with a blade at the other end. The stick was designed with the low kick point thru the tapered end. They make a great back-up stick when you put a blade in.

thats where if you cut it at the bottom area where the foam ends and put a tapered blade in it, it should have the same effect as a OPS

Dont whant to start a fight, but don't you think it's maybe just a buzz...or you are just using a different blade, flex

For me...what make the difference i think is the grip...i've never notice this before i started using my SL...and then after the warm-up i switched back to my xn10 and felt i was sliding too much and ''torquing'' when i was shooting..

The blade doesn't matter for power for me, just on accuracy. Flex could be a reason but Inno 260s never seem to work nearly as well for me.

Losing three inches of taper will reduce the effectiveness to some degree.

i had a ccm vector 110 and broke the blade on it, flipped it around and put in a standerd wood blade, and now it goes better as a shaft flipped with a blade than an ops.
