anybody used this shaft? i don't like nbh blade patterns, but this shaft with a drury would be excellent. feedback from those who have used it would be sweet.

Oh.. my bad.

If you want one really bad, have somebody here from the board order you one and ship it to you. Should only cost about $15 more USD to ship it.

With a different lie (not sure if it's higher or lower). P91A is a true Drury clone, but not available on the XXX-Lite

My friend got a XXX-Lite shaft as a warranty replacement, and paired it with a RBK 6k Blade. I didn't get to try it out, as I'm LH and he's RH, but it seems pretty solid, especially compared to the OPS. Balance was bearable, too.

Has anyone seen any in their LHS's yet? Im looking for one, but with no avail. Anyone have an update on a release date?

Yeah they should be getting them early summer from what the guy told me

I saw these in Columbus last weekend (~$110 I think)

FYI: I thought they look tapered, and JR's catalog post says they are but HockeyMonkey states standard...

I remember reading that the XXX Lite shaft has a .520 taper while the OPS has a .470 taper. Is this true? Also, will this affect the performance of the shaft version?

went into my LHS (Dukes Source for sports) and was looking for a shaft. They had the XXX Lite shaft but was very expensive. It was 189.99 I beleive, it could have been $179.99 (This is in CAD).

From what I have read in other topics on this forum, the OPS xxx-lite has a lot of durability issues, but has anyone had much experience with the shaft? Is it more durable than the OPS with most of the issues coming from the blade or is the shaft itself just as problematic. Just curious as gear in Australia is so expensive but i'd love to try one of these. Would much rather a stick that will last me. I can handle swapping blades fairly regularly, but the OPS is $500 out here, would much rather the two-piece if its more durable.

havnt used it but picked it up and it felt good. 99.99 here. and it is tapered. but for some reason the one90 shaft is not tapered. also the shop got in one90's in stick'um and thought it was wayyy to sticky. i wouldnt recomend either shaft though. i love my l-2 and payed less with 2 blades

i have been using this shaft in a 87 flex for the past month with a syn II iggy blade for both roller and ice and i have to say im loving it.

b4 the XXX i was using the dolomite shaft for roller and CNT for ice but once i got the XXX shaft i never switched back

wristers is awsome for this stick where the puck just flys off the blade.

i was a fan of the XV shaft back then but XXX feels like is stronger then the XV and has a better feel to it.

i love the feel of this shaft, it's just way too sticky. Loving the one90, Easton Z-Carbon blade combo, though. one timers are so much fun.
