thefelixculpa 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2007 Does the z-bubble paired with the short hosel Easton ST standard blade transform it into the equivalent of a tapered shaft/blade combo???I only ask this because this is the combo I use right now but I am really interested in purchasing a tapered shaft...I am torn between the easten synergy II or the nbh xxx lite.

tips09 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2007 personally i love the synergy II that and the st are my favorite sticks. paired with a synergy II blade imo is the best stick. I love the weight and balance as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick411 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 yah i like my S2 it's nice combo but the S2 blades have shit duribility and can't seem to find a blade that works with this shaft, but the kick is greatnever thought about that(z bub and new st) how do you like it?

fatwabbit 93 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 I've got a z bub (int) and I paired it with a TPS blade. Super light, and I dont have to put much effort into the shot. Just let the flex do the work for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never used a tapered shaft and I wonder how much different it would feel from my aforementioned shaft/blade combo i currently use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 Z-bub was an attempt to get tapered shaft performance from a standard shaft. The shaft tapers a bit before flaring out to accept standard blades. In fact, I believe you can put a tapered blade into the shaft if it were to break right above the flare. I'm sure Vapor could elaborate on that though. ;) Is it the same as a tapered shaft? No, but the concept behind it was a good one at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick67 1 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 I had a broken z-bubble (green version) with a taper blade in it down in my basement.... Broke just above the flare, and was a perfect fit for taper blades.Alas the stick was way too short, bubbles are only 48' to begin with, so I decided to flip it and both a long-hoseled Bauer Endure blade in it.
