Thanks,

Its a two peice one peice..lol...it really isnt that confusing actually. YOu may have noticed that one peice sticks get slimmer towards the bottom to create more whip. Well in the past there has been a constant shape downt he shaft so that the blade would fit in..Or a flare int he shaft like on the z-bubble. Well on these tapered shaft it gradually slims for about the last 15 inches so a regular lade wont fit in, thats where the slimmer hoseled tapered blade comes into place. Basically unless your using a XXX or true-one you arent using a one peice anyways your using a tapered combo that painted over at the fuse point.

To try and make it even easier to understand next time you look at a 1peice look about 3 inches up from the blade and ull see a line thats where the blade and shaft go toghether.

It means literally, that the shaft tapers in the hosel towards the blade.

Now Chadd, do I sense slight sarcasm/skeptisism in your "little improvement" comment?

And I thought you actually liked your R2XN10.

Nope, no sarcasm. Though there are varying levels of improvement with the various OPS/tapered products.

A tapered stick suppose to add that extra kick to your shot.

All wood sticks are tapered...

Because of the taper the kick point (where the shaft bends) will be lowered causing quicker release and more accurate shots i think. :P
