Pro stock mission blades

[Bender 0]

well from what I have seen/read, it's either going to be Yashin or Hull, or 1 of both

EDIT: Also form some of the pictures posted around here, the shape between the wooden Yashins and the composites seem to differ a bit, I'm looking at the composites

[mack 44]

Though it may be different from last year's (like Deadmarsh's) I had some tapered Yashins and they were huge heel wedges with a good amount of loft. Almost like TBLFan's Van Ryns but with more curve. I would liken them to Dan Boyles.

Ah well, so is the risk with buying blades you havn't seen especially with pro-stock, I might get 1 yashin and 1 hull and use what ever feels best to me. I'm not one that is known for breaking blades so if 1 is good then it should last me a while.

Got my stuff today. For once Hockey Monkey screwed up something good. Accidently put in three shafts instead of two. Beautiful. Ill post blade pics asap.

[Stampeder 2]

Wow, hopefully I get that same screw up.

Here are all the blades I ended up with, all tapered woodies. The top blade in the 1st shot is a CCM 892 Thornton for comparison. Each Mission blade is beside that same Thornton for comparison in the other shots. I know the shots aren't very good for comparing curves, but explaining the intricacies of curves to my wife was too much to take on after work today. If you need a shot of a particular blade let me know.

All blade shot for lie.

It looked like Van Ryn's Synergys too. Damn. I'm still waiting on my Arnotts and Army blades.

Ill post pics of the curves tomorrow.

Swiss17: Awesome buy!

Damn, looks like they're out of Warrior Afanasenkovs. If anyone has one they want to get rid of, let me know.

[Stampeder 2]

I'm new to shipping with UPS, but the tracking always seems to say

"A HOLD HAS BEEN REQUESTED. PAYMENT MUST BE MADE PRIOR TO RELEASE / THE RECEIVER HAS AGREED TO ACCEPT THE DELIVERY CHARGES"

What the fuck is this? I'm guessing they want me to pay some duty charges for getting it over the border but why slow it down? Its pissing me off.

swiss!! you got the same shaft as im getting (salvador) :D whats the grip on it like?

also does anyone know how long it will take from placing the order to arriving in australia via the worldwide express option?

[whit64 0]

Are the standard shafts the 48" length or all they all the 52" pro stock length?

[bored4 0]

i would say they are 52", my fuel is longer than my ultra lite with like 6" wooden end butt.

[twister18 1]

anybody have any GIONTA blades they want to swap? I fell in love with that curve today, but now they are all out :(

[sdcopp 1]

got my stuff today, V-Hex 2 Grip (Boyes), rubbery type grip, Hex-1 non-grip both standard. Also got 2 X Paris RH and 4 X Boyes

both pro stock blades next to a Spezza retail

Spezza retail

Paris pro

Boyes pro

The Boyes is a bit longer than I expected, get a pair and you could paddle a canoe

[Stampeder 2]

What flexes did you get? Any pics of the shafts? I'm getting pissy to get my order already.

[sdcopp 1]

didn't get any pics of the shafts, 100 flex on the V-Hex2 and 90 on the Hex-1. Again the Boyes V-Hex2 Grip is a rubbery type grip, just like the one a few posts up. The Hex-1 looks just like the OPS, just in a standard.

Placed a second order tonight, praying they still have the inventory for it, but ordered:

280 flex nipple grip dolo

4 x Paris wood standard

2 x Green wood tapered

1 x Hollis wood tapered

2 x Rahkshani comp tapered

prolly won't be here until New Years at this rate, but have to jump on the deals when I can.

Still have yet to recieve an e-mail from HM with a tracking number and confirmed shipment, and I ordered back on the 15th. Should I be worried?

nah, I called them about 4 days after I had placed my order and they had just gotten it into the shipping pool. The lady told me it was taking 3-4 days to process the orders, and I bet they're insanely busy this week trying to get everything out.

Same here.

[EBondo 232]

Just got an email from HockeyMonkey saying "Thank you for your order with HockeyMonkey.com. Please call customer service regarding your order."

Could this mean they were sold out with what I ordered? I'm off to work now so I can't give them a call right now
