awkwards shafts

[top 0]

I took a drive down to my LHS today and i was gonna buy a shaft and when i was paying he tells me that shaft concave was for a RH person.. i was like wtf i bought like 5 ultralites before and none of them were like that.. does it really matter if i still used it and is there any shafts now days that are still made like that

Unless it was an Inno Novius you were looking at you should have slapped the guy upside the head.

Not so. What kind of shaft was it?

There were a few shafts that were concave on one side, convex on the other and were RH or LH specific.

Like old school Bauer DET's or Bauer TIG/ALC shafts. I don't know what kind of shaft this person is talking about but it could have that shape to it.

I think Nike Ignite shafts were like that too.

There's a stick that starts with a T that's concave as well.

A concave shaft can go both ways. The ones that were hand specific were convex on one side and concave in the other (Bauer DET, Nike Troika, Jofa 9500 etc) or the Inno Novius which had the spine on the backhand side.

I had one of the teal Bauers, decent shaft but I ended up selling it because I found something I liked a lot more.

Easton used to have a concave/convex shaft too, but I think it was either an aluminum or an early and not so good composite. I remember they used to have it at a LHS that closed down like 5 years ago.

Concave on an Easton Ultra-Lite shaft :lol:

:wacko:

Some people just don't have a clue and want you to think they do.

No, the Convex shaft was convex on both sides.

The very first nike composite shafts were like that. remember those red ones with the white band? old school

Nothing with a Nike logo qualifies as "old school."

haha i dont even know this guy is the owner to boot you think he'd have somewhat knowledge lol and he just seemed so clueless well w/e he said the z bubble was a tapered shaft and it was made for synthesis specific blades lol so hes kinda cracked out.

The Z-Bubble is a tapered shaft, it just accepts standard blades.

Troika? Whats that?

Nike Quest 1, 2, 3 and Apollo II came in hand specific shafts too

Yes they were.

And to switch it for an opposite shooter? Turn the thing over!

The first Nike shaft. Troika was the red/white one, Cirrus was the maize/blue one.

No, the Convex shaft was convex on both sides.

He must be thinking of the carbon tip. Those were convex/concave and hand specific.

I think it was mid level shaft. Honestly looked like a bauer DET knockoff but heck I wanted one.

That sounds about right. I remember that they weren't that expensive, but they only had them in righty, so I couldn't use one

[Fletch 219]

I remember the old Jofa composite shafts were like that as well.
