supermanly 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2006 i just checked missions site for the mission L-2, it says in int/75 flex they have it in hull, hatcher,leopold, and elias. in the catalogue, it says they have it in hatcher, elias, leopold 2(thats hull, correct?), rafalski, and ribiero. can anyone clarify? i realize that intermediate doesnt matter since it still uses an junior blade. also, are any of the mentioned blade patterns with a closed face? cause on missions site it doesnt get really specific, just saying slight, moderate, or deep, nothing more.alot of charts i see dont say A) if its closed, slightly open, or very open B) a specific face, "open". nows another question...would it make much of a difference if i got a shaft/blade with a junior blade (like the L-2) rather than an int. shaft with int. blade (like easton synthesis or synergy II)? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't believe that Mission has updated their website yet. As for your question about buying a L2 verses a Synthesis. The int. L2 uses a Jr/Int. blade, I've found that they are about the same size as a tapered Easton blade. It also depends on what curve you are getting, because the Hatcher is a shorted blade. I would say that it comes down to PP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supermanly 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2006 just cause you dont like the z-1 that z-2 has bad performance? even if it is a 2piece z-1, they COULD have made improvements on it(didn't check the catalogue). if not, well then its a pricepoint stick and not geared to ya i guess.
