Old Mission Flyweight Shaft compared to L2 ?

[Lucius 0]

There was a clear seam between shaft and blade...

[Eazy_b97 1]

Also the L-2 comes with a second blade attatched doesn't it?

[Lucius 0]

Since they were pro return, the retail bundle of shaft plus two blades wouldn't necessarily apply.

[Eazy_b97 1]

I was saying how since it didn't have a second blade, that may of been a way to tell how it was a Pro-stock.

Anyone know if the shape of the L2 shaft is rounded (ala Biomorphic dangler/Metamorph flyweight) or square? Is there a choice?

Thanks!

Biogirth (square)

Meta's not an option...yet :P

I'm hoping just as hard as you JR but I highly doubt they'll ever bring the meta shape back. The market for a senior shaft that small just isn't there. You want to let me in on your little hook up you have there for those extra metas? :D

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

LOL just scored two 10/7s...brings up the total to 6 shafts...

I think he has more. I'll see what's up.

JR are you using the black Flyweights, or the green ones?

[kenneth 5]

they are all green, on the pics they look black, which looks sweet. I was under the impression it was black until i received mine in the mail.

[Dan_The_Man_16 0]

Oh, I thoguht the same thing, sorry guys! LOL

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

Yup, green, and both graphic jobs.

how many grams is the flyweight ?? Lighter than a synthesis ??

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

I forget - I weighed it a long time ago. I do remember this - a Flyweight shaft with a wood blade is about the same weight as an XN10 OPS.

JR I remember seeing your weights when it was posted on that old board. The flyweight was extremely light. I own 2 Fly's, one with an R2, the other with a shaved down Koho hybrid and both are equal in weight to my Xn10. My 10-7 with R2 comp is my main stick.

last question til I go ahead and purchase one, how would you compare the shaft size with that of a synergy in terms of handle shape and diameter ?? Less or more rounded ??

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

I think the Bio is a little bit more square.

The Meta, there's nothing like it. Very rounded and thin.

[Aggie 9]

Yep, the Bio is square, like a Synergy.

Hey Kobe... i just called Mission hockey and they said they have 10 10*7 and 5 8*5 Mission Flyweight Shafts on return back to the factory. I am going to call them next week and see if I could maybe pick some up. Just thought you might be interested.

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

I have a source for other Flys if interested.

Do the flyweights accept tapered blades?

Thanks a bunch

[Eazy_b97 1]

Yup, first shaft designed for short hosel tapered blades.

[Kobe 0]

Do you know if those 10-7s are the Metamorphic shape?

[xunkn0vvnx 0]

A LHS just got some L-2s in yesterday. I played around with an 85 flex Elias pattern for a bit in the store with a Smart Hockey ball. The balance seemed comparable to my Synthesis w/Comp. Synth. blade as is the flex, as much as I could tell in the store. I had no problems stickhandling with the L-2 and I'm the first to complain about blade-heavy sticks. I wasn't big on the Elias pattern since it looked like a slightly lower lie Modano or very close to it. Did they rename the Gaborik? Anyways, $249.99 CDN for the combo here, but I think I'll wait till the bare shafts come in.
