Mission Flexes

[kovalchuk71 212]

IS missions 85 flex stiffer or whippier than other companies? Ive been told different things. I want a hex or a pulse in an 85 flex, but am afraid it might be too stiff even though its an 85. any help?

click on "flex chart" on the top right of the page for info like that.

(easton and mission 85 are the same, also bauer 87 and branches medium)

ahh, sorry bout that. thought you just meant if it was more like a 90 according to easton or something along those lines.

[kovalchuk71 212]

no problem man

ok, back on topic

Mission increased the taper this year right? So the sticks should be a bit whippier correct?

My 85 Hex was a damn noodle, not to mention the blade would bend in half every time I took a snap shot.

Mine 85 Hex was pretty stiff, other than the blade.

I've been wondering about this a lot myself. Best bet I'm thinking is to go and flex it a bit at the LHS. Not the same as actually shooting and handling a puck with it, but it's better than so many varying subjective opinions. It's so hard to tell from what people have been reporting their flexes to be.

the only time I really notice is when I take slap shots . I should also mention the L-2 is my first tappered shaft. the other shafts that I used are a easton UL 100 which is real stiff and a tps rubber whip.. which ofcourse has a lot of flex.. hope that sorta gives you an idea as to why I thought the L-2 felt a little whippier then I expected

i think i remember someone saying that the sticks are made by a new company, and they were a tad stiffer.
