New Mission shaft

[troy 12]

It looks like it has a similar flame design to the Fuel OPS', I can't tell if it's tapered or not. Pretty cool looking IMO. Click on any of the pics of Satan, the third one offers a pretty good view.Mission shaft

you'd imagine it'd be pretty rad to see Satan rocking the Fuel shaft- flames and all.. haha

Damn this guy switches shafts a lot. Four different on one page(Fuel, Ultra Lite, L2, M2). The Fuel color scheme is sick. I hope its tapered.

Just on those pictures from the last few days he's switching between: Mission M-2, L-2, Easton UL and the new Misison shaft, which I think looks alot like the new Vector paint wise.

It is indeed tapered. Likin' that color scheme. Anyone know if it will be called the Fuel 120 shaft, or some other number? JR, Justin?

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

There will be a tapered Fuel 120. I am at work so I can't see the pictures to confirm.

That doesnt seem to help him.

Haha, yeah he seems to be pretty helpless.

Can someone post a picture of it? I can't see pictures from Getty unless I'm in school, and Yahoo! or the NHL Gallery doesn't have any. Thanks.

i think it says V-Hex on the shaft

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

The blade will be VDS/Hex.

[sabre09923 0]

This is weird, it doesn't say "Fuel" anywhere on the shaft... But I can see V-Hex on the shaft.

Why would it say V-Hex on the shaft, when the blade is the only thing that is VDS/Hex?

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Well, just maybe the name of the shaft/blade combo is the 120 V-Hex. I don't know - I have not seen it.

[Patrick67 1]

but he is useing Nike/Bauer RB's on all of the shafts. Would have been sweet if it had been the new Vds RB blade JR has been bragging about.

I kind've get a Mission Team Comp vibe from that last picture.

Josh Green from the Canucks also seems to be using a new tapered mission shaft

Satan's playing our new V-HEX shaft. It will be part of a new line of tapered shafts / blades / OPS. I snuck this one by J.R.! The 2-piece version is a black and white shaft with blue "fumes." This is what Satan and a couple other players started using about a week ago. There will be a OPS version that you will see shortly. We shipped some to Ribeiro this week. The OPS version will be available in Grip and Non_Grip version and have a green fume on them. The V-HEX blade is the key to both. It is a combination VDS / HEX Core blade. The blade and shaft also will be available.

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

What the hell.

I just emailed you.

Homey don't like to be played.

[sabre09923 0]

Ok, so if I understood this correctly...

There will be 2 lines of sticks for Mission: the Fuels, and the V-Hex? So both have a OPS and tapered shaft/blade combos, correct? When will the V-Hex be out, since I know that the Fuel's will be out before Christmas...

Sorry for being a pest.

[kovalchuk71 212]

Question: Why use both the hex and VDS technology? I thought the hex has issues with chipping and stiffness?

Fedorov has been using a new Mission stick as well
