Jinx17 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2004 You should get the Hull for sure, if you like whippy sticks. If I wasn't left handed I would use Hull's sticks(OPS) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted May 26, 2004 Only get it if you want the curve in an INT flex. Sounds like it's a senior stick in the normal Bauer INT(77) flex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2004 That stick is definitely buyer beware. As good as the TFG ops is, if the retail 87 is incredibly flexy I could only imagine what Hull's is like.... Unless you are small or have great technique it will probably be overkill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be prepared to fan a lot until you get used to the blade tho. I speak from experience :P . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_H 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2004 Didn`t Lego buy one of the Hull TFG? Ask him how whippy it is, he`s use alot of differnt flexes adn curves and should be able to help. Also, if he cuts his sticks or not it won`t affect him gettng used to the flex because his othere sticks would be stiffer too. However, I see the logic if he cuts it it will feel less whippy.

LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2004 I haven't gotten mine yet, which is why I haven't replied. With my pro TPS sticks, I usually don't have to cut them at all. Actually, they're perfect... I just take out the plug. I'm hoping to get mine tomorrow or friday, but don't play until after the holiday weekend, so I might not post anything about it until next week.

CaptainZbubble 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2004 well, i got the stick today and i must say im impressed :D . the curve is insane looking but i love it. the flex is intersting as well.it feels like a 75-83ish flex. i wont get a chance to use it on ice for a while but do you think it would be fine if i used the stickfor roller hockey tonite? ill give the stick a good workout for thenext cupple of weeks then ill put up a review!

Polar1 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 an 87 flex for the bauer xx is comparable to what flex for easton and tps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dietzie27 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 subtract 2 from every bauer flex to get the easton flex. its 85, as for tps, regular is about 95 and whip is around 80 so id say whip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ambro 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 No whip is more like 70-75. A stiff-whip (pro stock) would be your best bet if you could find one for TPS if you want it like Bauer 87. Otherwise, retail's closest would be the TPS regular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polar1 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 because the bauer 87 feels a bit too whippy to be comparable to an 85 from easton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 If that's going off the OPS and not the shaft, I'm going to say that's because OPS tend to feel flexier than what's labeled on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polar1 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 but would u say that a bauer xx 87 is comparable to a tps response whip flex, and a 75 flex easton synergy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 The Bauer number are very comparable to the Easton numbers. Keep in mind that each stick may vary a bit and be a couple of points high or low. It also seems like every Easton I've picked up lately has been higher than rated. I tried an 85 flex ultralight that I couldn't flex at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
