z-buble grip breaking

[tyler9 0]

I have had 4 z-bubble grips in the last 2 months. They have all broke at wear the taper ends and it gets bigger so u can fit a standard blade in. Has anyone else had this problem?

If you are using Inno blades they somtimes are too stiff at the hosel and casue Easton shafts to bust.

I've been using easton z-carbons. Could it be because i got intemediates an i cut them really short and all the pressure is concentrated on that spot when i shoot. I am about 5'7 and weigh 125. I cut the shaft aroung 4-5 inches.

I've never used a Z-Bubble that had any kind of durability in it. I blame the goofy taper/flare combo.

That's exactly where nearly every bubble breaks.

Honestly, I laugh whenever I see someone who weighs over 150 getting an 85 Bubble or Z-Grip; seen so many break on slappers at that exact spot, they just dont get it. To add insult to injury, I thought the damn shaft had the worst feel since I used an aluminum shaft with an ABS blade; the taper-flare point screws me all up...

My best friend at the rink found a Z-Bub Grip...first shot, sent the thing flying at that spot.

I go 240 and I use an 85 Z-Bubble, but it's one of the original Bubbles ('97 model with a smaller taper) and I've never been tough on sticks...

Last summer, I broke 3 in a month. I sold the last replacement because I couldn't even get a full games use out of one.

I've had one for about a year and I havent had any problems with it and I way about 125 too. I cut it at about the same place too.

Thats where my bubble broke after about a year and I used nothing but Easton blades in it. I only 140 but used 100 flex.

i weigh 190. and i got some specialty ones that are like 80 flex. for a bargain of about 50 each last year at the flames year end equipment sale. i have about 4 of them, and have never broken one. they are so durable, i couldnt belive how many times i got slashed and looked down and see it in tact.

i had one for about 4 months than i the next one i got broke in 3 practices than the next one lasted about 5 months and i love the feel of them, 2nd best shaft i've ever used, 1st was a broken XN10 with a synthesis blade.
