Best Non-Tapered Shaft?

[tmntdonjuan 0]

I'm looking to get a new non-tapered shaft after my Easton Octane broke. Can anyone give me their recommendations for a non-tapered shaft?

Ultra Lite with wood blade.

Sherwood RM19, Easton Ultra lite and Warrior Ak27 are all great shafts

Don't worry about getting the "best", most shafts will be better then your old Octane anyway.

What are you looking for in a shaft?

Ditto the RedLite XN10. Note for Inno1100 in rubber band flexes as well.

All of the aforementioned shafts are great. I have also had really good luck with the CCM Vector 6.0 shaft. It's not going to perform as well as some of the $100 shafts like the Warrior, but its only about $50, and mine has proven to be very functional and durable.

For me, TPS REDLITE XN10 (Whip Flex) or Easton UL (Hull Pro Returns with MM Z-Bubble look)

I have a pair of the Redlite XN10's in the Whip flex, and one of the new R6 shafts in the whip flex. The R6 shaft feels great, but is a touch more heavy than the Redlite....making the balance point just a touch off. But still a fantastic shaft. Best shaft ever....the Redlite. If you can find one in a flex that you like, then I would pick it up in a heartbeat.

redlite... I still rock my redlite CS2, still going strong when it really shouldn't be.

I've been looking everywhere for a Redlite XN10 whip shaft :-(

Easton A/C 7100. None of that silvertip/goldtip garbage either, it's gotta be black/copper.

Christ, mack; recommend a shaft he'll never find, why don't you?

they can be found ...just ask ... I might just know where one is

If you can find it, flyweight...otherwise, cant go wrong with a bubble/UL

[TBLfan 25]

The infamous standard flyweight... I have one and I can agree, it's a damn good stick.

There was a few threads on the NBH one90 shaft and alot of people seem to be very happy with it. I haven't used it myself but you might want to read those threads if you do a search because from what they say its an excellent shaft.

3 Way tie between the RLxn10, Flyweight and the ultralite.

Well that's true, but I've hoarded a nice collection and he seems wylie enough where he may be able to find one. I think the rarest stick (at least in terms of me trying to find) are Z-Core 7100s with the updated graphics.

id say the ultra lite, best shaft over all. it has pretty good use in the NHL at least 20 guys using it including marleau!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chadd 916]

Red light XN10 is by far the best in terms of performance and that's all I really care about.

[Patrick67 1]

RL XN10 is the best performance wise, but the 2nd to worst in durability after the Z-bubbles, atleast for me.

One90 is a really nice standard shaft.

I've been debating between the Ultra Lite and the One90 given that they're the same price in all the sites that I've visited. I've heard a lot about the Redlite XN10 shaft. I'll still do probably look around a little more before I decided on which one I want. Right now though given the responses I've gotten, it seems that it's a tie between the Ultra Lite and the Redlite XN10 with the One90 as a distant third. Does anyone have any experience with the One90 Shaft? There already seems to be plenty of feed back on the other ones.

my vote's in for the one90, and it's slightly cheaper. you really can't go wrong with any of the shafts mentioned in this thread, though.

What blade do you pair with the R6?

And where are all of you people finding these Redlite XN10s?!?!?! No retailer or website (that I know of) has them. Hockeygiant, hockeymonkey, epuck, inlinewarehouse, totalhockey.net, hockey.lax.com, hockeyworld.com...none of these sites have senior Redlite XN10.

I am about ready to settle for an R6 but I have read much less about it than the redlite xn10.

Sherwood RM19 standard shaft with a easton Z-carb blade. Absolutely the best combo out there.
