CCM Vector 110 OPS question

[AlabamaICE 0]

I found a Vector 110 OPS Stiff Shaft at a place close to where I live. This place sells unclaimed baggage from airports. Anyway, it was a left handed shot and the blade was really beat up. I bought it for 20.00 and cut the blade off. It is a tapered shaft. If I put a right handed blade in the top and use it upside down, is that gonna affect the flex of the shaft when I shoot?

Vectors OPS are pretty much useless as a shaft.if you flip it and put a standard blade in you are going to have to shave some of it down for it to fit.

worst comes to worst, sell it on ebay :P

the flex will be messed up if its tapered (if you flip it, you get the flexier part in your hands and the harder part at the bottom). i guess you could POSSIBLY adjust, but thatd be annoying. could also put like a street hockey blade in it and do stuff

OH well. At least it was just 20 bucks. Hey wait, thats 2 pick-up games.

wrong.The flexier part wont be in your hands.I use flipped OPS Shafts all the time and cant tell the difference between them and a standard shaft.The V110 is able to be used as a tapered shaft so theres no worring about that.

if the butt end part is small whay not try to fit a tapered blade into try a wood synthesis so you could sand it down if needed

I did this exact same thing with mine and it works FINE!! When flipped, the only thing you should have to sand down is if you need to put a plug in it to lengthen the shaft. A normal head with fit with not problem.

As far as flex goes, I can't tell a difference. It feels fine.

i found a broken on at my rink with a broken easton pro blade in the end of it and it was hard to get out and i had to put a jr blade in the broken sr end

COOL! Thanks guys. It'll be a great backup to my Ultra Lite. And in case some of you were wondering, YES we do play ice hockey in Alabama.
