TPS sticks

[hock20 0]

Will tps keep making the xn10? Its my favorite stick and have been using it for a few years now. I hear they might stop...also is the adrenaline pretty much the thing as the xn10?

XN10 is gone, adrenaline is a little heavier.

I know they dont make them anymore.. im not sure if they use the same technology in their new shafts. I would imagine they would because they are VERY popular.

frankly.. im kind of supprised that they are eliminating the xn10 line.. I guess they dont want people to devide their sticks into 2 "quality" catagories like what happened with the xn10 line.

*I remember 2 kids argueing about sticks.. both had r2's but one was xn10. He was telling the other kid how his stick is so much more "ownage" than his because the xn10 makes the stick better...

They moved most of their production to china, everything coming from china has a new model number or name.

I've had 2 xn10 regular flex sticks and they were great. Now I'm trying an adrenaline regular flex and it seems whippier. Wish I would have got the stiff flex.

i find that the tps is easier to break on shots

I've used both the XN10 and the Adrenaline and I really liked both of them. I haven't had any major durability problems. TPS seems to last a while, at least for me. The blades on the Adrenaline sticks seem to be a little more durable. On the XN10s the blades always seemed to be the first thing to go. On the Adrenalines the blades are much better.

I like the adrenaline much more than the xn10...Better feel with better performance

so i felt the adrenaline today...it felt like a very cheap stick, almost like a painted wood stick. I cant see how its just an xn10 with shock absorbers and extra kevlar....i dont know what stick to use after my xn10's what stick will tps send me if i send in a xn10...an adrenaline in return?

It's the paint job. Everyone who picks up an adrenaline says the same thing, they even say that just by looking at it. I've never seen a stick that has caused such unanimous dislike just by looking at it or picking it up. Those who use it, love it. Most people just never get past the looks.

thats really strange...it just feels like huge globs of paint on it...i really with it had the thin and more square corners like the xn10, if i send in a broken xn10 will they replace it with an adrenaline and send me one back?

I used a response plus for about 10 minutes before I sold it. It was a pretty nice stick I must say

[hock20 0]

whats a response plus have to do with adrenaline and xn10...

Yeah, I felt the same way but I tried it out and really liked. I like it better than my XN10. Like Kovalchuk71 was saying it has a better feel.

hm, i may have to look more into it..i can tell its a bit heavier as well...its a lot of money to spend to see if i like it so this will be a big decision when the time comes.

I have migrated to my XN10'S from my stealths and xxx's etc...

I went to get a new adrenaline and tested one and felt with the extra noticeable weight The xxx lite felt better to me. I did like the blade on the adrenaline tho...but even tho my LHS marked em down to 130 us... I still didnt want it...

I too will miss the xn10...

I've used both XN10's and Adrenalines. The XN10 is nice, smooth release and REALLY light. The corners are the thing I had to get passed, never using concaved corners. I did have a tough time with shooting though, but thats cause the curve was a pro stock and "not my bag baby". The Adrenaline was an impulse buy. The LHS had one on sale (The shop I work at doesn't carry TPS). Wouldn't you know they had 1 Adrenaline left handed regular flex in stock at $129.99 USD. I had to and the looks didn't matter because I heard a lot of good things about them. Great feel and great shots, I've got 3 Adrenalines now and I love them. I've got one for trade if you want it. As for the return thing I don't think you'd get an Adrenaline, you'd either get another XN10 or a Response Armor. Same thing as the XN10 just with a wierd wrap.

I hear good things about the durability of TPS sticks, but are they as durable as innos as all my inno blades crack along the bottom?
