R2 XN10, Int- shaft- What blade fits?

[Ultimus 0]

I picked up a R2 XN10 cheap of the net, I've broke to many sticks already this season... I read great reviews on it so I went ahead and bought one. I have a few of the Crew Blades and I was really liking their performance and they are very durable for the outdoor surface I am playing on.

The problem, it was not labeled as Tapered in the description... I know some shafts come tapered and non tapered versions and I am unsure if this is the case? Also, I was under the impression that most INT shafts fit senior blades, which is not the case for this shaft, unless of course it is a tapered shaft. Or does this Int shaft only fit Junior Standard blades. Every intermediate shaft I have seen that only fits junior is normally labeled as such as well.

My question is what blade fits an R2 XN10 Int shaft? I don't want to spend money on a tapered blade if it only fits a junior standard size...

Man, I miss having LHS nearby... the south really sucks when it comes to hockey... but its growing in this area.

Thanks in advance.

If im not wrong, Sr tapered blades will fit inside the shaft.

Correct, Senior Tapered blades

Thanks a ton guys,

Just wish I was a lefty so I could snag some of those tapered graphite missions on monkey I think it was.

whats the difference between buying a stick thats is supposively an ops and buying the same stick except the shaft and blade are not together. Example- the one90 and 0ne90 tapered shaft and blade.

is the quality or feel different when bought seperately?

There isn't any difference..

p.s. The one90 is a standard shaft.

i got a very stupid question, would a jr standard blade fit in a sr tapered shaft

No, not without a buttload of tape on the tennon.

Do they still make the Redlite XN10? It's on hockeymonkey's site as temporarily sold out and not available barely anywhere else.

Give them a call, and see if they're getting anymore in.

Alright, I probably will, I was just curious because I had heard some good things about it. Are there any major differences in the R2 and the Redlite XN10? Also is there a difference between the R2 Control and the R2 XN10 or are they the same thing?

R2 XN10 is the tapered version of the XN10

R2 Control I believe is a version of the XN10 with more fiberglass for extra durability (although I broke mine after a couple hours)

I have a couple Int. R2 XN10s... I've been using the XXX-lite woody in there, works well for me. It takes a bit of forcing to jam it in... possibly some sanding down on the corners of the hosel will allow for an easier fit.

i got an even dumber question. what the hell does tapered mean?

[TBLfan 25]

it's a thinner tenon on the blade. The shaft gets slimmer near the bottom of the shaft.
