bauer xv tapered shaft

[flyrzman 0]

I just ordered on of these and was wonderng if anyone here has used them? Are tapered shafts that much better? I was using a z bubble with a z carbon blade and was wondering how this will compare?

i remember reading somewhere its like the Vapor XX of shafts. The grip peels very easily according to people on this board

I haven't used a standard shaft in a long time. Tapered shafts are the best combo of performance and value for those of us that don't often break shafts.

I really don't notice a difference between standard and tapered shafts. I get off hard shots with both, so I choose my sticks by flex and shaft shape. So far my favorite stick has been a standard flyweight shaft that just snapped last week.

It has a good kick and a good shaft shape imho (concaved) it works great when paired with either a wood or comp blade. I found that my shots were harder and mor accurate with that shaft as opposed to my Standard response xn10 shaft,

The XV is a great shaft performance wise. I started breaking a bunch of them so I switched to another shaft. I still have a couple of them that I use as back ups. Really liked the shaft just got tired of always having to buy a new one after 2 months.
