Flyweight shafts

[Nick411 0]

what type of blades do these take

[mack 44]

Tapered.

ok cool also forgot to ask but what exactly does 12/9 flex mean is it becuase it different flex throught

[SyracuseBulldogs04 0]

I think its stiffer on top and flexier on the bottom.

[TBLfan 25]

yeah, it's just another way of saying low kickpoint if I understand it correctly.

[JR Boucicaut 3789]

No, it's not.

2/3 of the length is a certain flex, the bottom 1/3 is another. Not exactly the same.

yep. top 2/3 of the shaft is stiffer and the bottom third is whippier. This brings the kickpoint even lower. They had the same technology in the old danglers that I loved. can't wait till these go up on HM.

[TBLfan 25]

but similar, yeah?

[Chadd 916]

More like a Bauer Tri-Flex than any other shaft.

[DamnLocust 0]

similar, but they used the technology on standard shafts as well, where "low kickpoint" usually refers to tapered shafts. I guess you could say it was mission's answer to the Z bubble.

[Chadd 916]

No

I mean similar in the sense that the intended goal was the same- to focus the flexing of the stick closer to the blade to enhance accuracy.

or maybe I don't know my ass from a hole in the wall.

I'm confused thought it was tappered isn't it i justed order one from

sport check (victoria)

[mack 44]

It's tapered, don't worry about the collateral conversation and its misleading nature.

[TBLfan 25]

it is tapered... but there are some that are standard.

Can you guys be more specific for us guys? Correct me if this thinking is wrong: Shafts like a synergy II have a low kickpoint, meaning that the flex isn't constant throughout. Now the flyweight is using the same princible but has a flex rating and is in the lower 1/3 section of the shaft. Is that right?

what do you mean some are standered???

thanks for the reply Mack

If I understand it all correctly, most tapered shafts have a consistent stiffness in the carbon throughout the stick, but the taper makes the overall amount of carbon less, thus less stiffness in that area, focusing the flex lower on the shaft.

Older missions (Flyweight, Dangler, etc.) have carbon of 2 different stiffnesses in one shaft. On top, the carbon was stiffer, and the bottom it was a bit whippier. It would be almost like fusing a 100 flex shaft to an 85 flex shaft, with the 85 flex shaft on the bottom. (disregarding length issues that would make the 85 stiffer) This also had an effect of focusing the flex to the lower part of the stick- or at the very least, causing the stick to flex more in the lower 1/3. The flyweight combines both technologies.

I think his fingers had a bad lunch because there's some diarrhea going around.

moi?

I'm not as educated on a lot of this stuff as others are, but this is how I've viewed it for years, and it seems to make sense. I'm here to learn new things, like learning that I've been wrong all this time if necessary.

[mack 44]

No, not you. I don't know a whole lot about the shaft so I'm staying out as much as possible. Homeboy's trying to buy a shaft and we got all sorts of different technologies being shot out in erroneous fashion.

I just bought a pro version that is standard. I'm not sure whether they made a standard flyweight for retail. I'm no expert on this shaft but I'm tring to learn about it.

Thanks DamnLocust, that makes a lot of sense. I understand now. :)

Yeah, that's mainly my fault lol. Sorry.

[mack 44]

Yeah, that's why I'm holding off on anyone who's used them to chime in. All I know is I've seen them with T-Flex/Synthesis blades so that's my limit.

[TBLfan 25]

well here's a pic of one with a vapor X blade in it(courtesy of the member on here that I bought it from):

have you used it yet? like it?

hahaha that was funny!
