The XV Vapor shaft is incredible. I bought mine about a month ago, and its probably the best stick i've had to date. The grip coating on it is not intrusive at all like the eastons or the old rubbers, and it will help your shot a lot of the stick always slips out of your hands. Its very light as well, with the vapor xv blade it is a very nice stick. Remember about the tapered blades though, since they usually cost a bit more than the regular ones. One thing is that if you are a bigger player, go with the stiff stick. I went with the regular 87 flex and it is starting to be just a tiny bit to whippy for me. Overall it is a great stick though, you won't regret buying it.

Hope this helps, Fred.
