TurboUltraMaxx 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2006 they perform the same. some peoiple just like to say they have a one piece. that and it comes readily assembled. Biggest factor is probably that a lot of people don't know that one piece sticks are usually actually two piece sticks, and don't realize that the performance is the same. All they know is that the NHLers use OPS, so they must have a OPS.It's the same story for the original synergy/synthesis, Synergy SL/Synergy II, TPS Response/R2, and others.Just wondering, I dont know if you were just trying to make a point, but is the synergy II close to the SL or is it more like the synthesis. Another question, does anyone know the weight of the dolomite or mac daddy or the synergy II shaft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamnLocust 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2006 Easton markets the Synergy II as "an SL in two piece form". The edges of the shaft are a bit softer than the synthesis, and the blades seem to break almost as much as those of the SLs, so there you have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sabre09923 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2006 I think the XXX lite is not comparable to the fused dolomite because it is a "true one-piece"... This would explain why it's not available in 2-pieces.I agree with that statement, but the problem with this rule of thumb is that Bauer is coming out with a Vapor XXX Lite tapered shaft at retail, along with an One90 (one80?) standard shaft, even though both have "monocomp" technology in them.
