Looks like Pronger's finally ditched his old Vapor shafts for an XX shaft.

Same shaft as Gagne is using.

Probably just a Vapor X shaft with XX graphics. But probably not with the rounded handle.

Isn't the X just a standard XX shaft?

Gosh, his gloves have long cuffs! If I remember correctly, he had some serious wrist injuries so that should be the reason, but still... he could as well extend them a tad more so he'd not have to wear elbowpads anymore.

Basically, but it has very noticable grip and has the rounded handle like on the TFS and TFG shafts.

Like Ryan Smyth's.

He's been using that stick for a fair while, I believe at or just after the All-star game.

That would be kinda awesome.

What would be better than awesome is to not bring 2-month old topics only to put "That would be kinda awesome."

Kinda off topic but I've come across a ton of GI Bauer XX OPSs at my LHS, some of them (Curtis Leschyshyn) had a really thick shaft with a very concave shape. Is it pro-only or do retail XXs have different shapes too?
