NBH Vapor XXX Woody

Recommended Posts

This may be the first OPS that I buy. So far it's been all shaft/blade combos, most recently Synthesis.

I really like the look of this XXX Woody stick.

did anyone else think it was slightly blade heavier? Also the wood finish is just a decal that you can peel off if you spend enough time at it.

I didn't find it more blade heavy what so ever. I looked down the shaft on the inside and it looks as if they MIGHT have reinforced the sidewalls a little more.

The blade itself is one of the best finished blades I have ever seen and the grip is also really nice, IMO perfect.

As for the wood effect being a decal... yes obviously, colour underneath will be black/ natural carbon fibre. The finish and decal seem very durable so no worry here on it chipping and lookin bad. :P

They now have a measurement on the back of the stick showing you what flex it will aprox. be when you cut it down to certain points.

I've used a Vap XXX several times before and will use this stick on wednesday. It will be interesting to see if I find a difference... no difference though, stick still looks amazing.

the sample we got was already banged up and the decal was chipping all along the sides of the shaft and on the top & bottom of the blade.

Regardless, it looks nice but I don't see myself picking one up since I'm happy with my regular XXX Lite. It's a great idea done to a great stick :)
