V-Hex or Fuel

[colin97 0]

I found both of Missions new sticks for 150$ at a proshop at my local rink and i was wondering which one is better? I can get them in either grip or non-grip. Thanks

well the fuel is considered top of the line, so one would believe that the fuel would be better, but once again it all comes down to pp

I, as well have been wondering this. I have yet to feel the V-Hex but the Fuel seems pretty nice. But i think that more pro's are using the V-Hex, and the Fuel sort of "died down"

[cougarscaptain87 12]

but you also have to keep in mind that just because a pros stick is labeled as a vhex definalty does not mean that it is a vhex. so i dont think that is an accurate way to decide what is "better."

Ive tried the Hex-1 and i liked it, is the V-Hex the same?

[cougarscaptain87 12]

from what i have collected from jr, the vhex has the hex blade with the vds around the edges, i dont know if it is around each small hex or just around the entire edge of the blade. and i believe the fuel has the vds along the entire edge of the blade similar to the pulse

Not to threadjack, but is the V-Hex tapered shaft the same as the shaft on the Hex-1 OPS? I've yet to see it in person, and while I hated the Hex blade, the kick on the shaft was unreal.

[cougarscaptain87 12]

again, according to my collection of info on the stick, i believe it will be the same with the addition of vds in the blade instead of just hex. so i believe the shaft should be the same

Slight difference.

But shaft feels almost same.

I believe tha the Fuel is a lighter version, and the V hex is a sturdier version. As someone stated the V-hex has kevlar reinforcement around the blade.

Like the ST vs the SL, or the Response Armour vs the Response X-lite, or the One 90 vs the XXX-lite.

So PP is the best answer. I go for the lightest, but I am not hard on my sticks, and they usually last fairly well.

Same here, shaft was insanely nice. I still use it even though my blade broke off over a year ago.

I previously had a hex-1, liked the stick, but the V-hex which I have now has a better feel for sure. They also fixed the weakness of the heel, the hex-1 was breaking a lot in that area. The blade was strong on hex1 so the force of shooting just found the next weakest point which was the heal.

Sorry to bring up an old(ish) topic.

But is the Vhex and the Vhex 2 the same stick? i was reading the descriptions on their website but couldn't see a difference.

[TheSnake22 0]

the v-hex is a one peice, the v-hex2 is a 2 peice combo

Alright.

It's the like the L-2 was to the M-1 I got yeah

Thanks.
