shaft stiffness

[dangler08 0]

I have a 100 flex easton 2005 stealth and ive used it till now and it is the perfect flex, my dad bought me a regualr flex xn10r2 shaft with a dolomite blade in it with a regular flex and it is too stiff. If I practice shooting alot of slappers will the shaft loosen up enough to be the same as my stealth.

(they are currently the same length)

either that or you'll get used to the stiffness. if you like the feel just keep using it. in a few weeks it shouldnt matter.

But if i cant flex my stick as much as i should my shot wont be as hard.

I think you have it backwards. A reg flex TPS will be flexier than a 100 flex Easton.

he probably got a mis-marked stealth

Never used a Stealth but I've heard somewhere that the longer taper makes the flex feel less than stated. A regular flex for TPS is about a 95 flex on the Easton scale, the 100 flex Stealth you have might feel more like a 85-90flex, and should feel a bit less than that because it has been "broken-in" so maybe even ~80flex. Can someone confirm this?

i have an 85 flex 2005 stealth and i just got a 77 flex xxx lite. the bauer feels the same if not slightly stiffer...

TPS sticks seem to start as stiffer but they break in and get pretty whippy. At least from what I've seen.
