NBH XVI vs. XXXX

[sjsharks11 0]

I was thinking about buying a NBH Vapor XVI, which is one of the lower-end sticks that came out with the Vapor XXXX and I was wondering, does anyone know any major differences between the two, obviously there are some but any thing BIG that would make me want to buy a XXXX instead?

the difference in feel with the stick would be the difference between real tits and fake tits.

If you can touch them, they're real. They're just not natural.

I guess if you put it that way.

As always a woodie is always better than a low end composite.

That's pretty good.

Well that was an interesting way to answer this question....

sjsharks11, basically you're talking a theorettical downgrade in the shaft/blade technology (fused vs. the monocomp design) so you'll be looking at a bit of a drop in power & release, plus the XVI is 1 of 2 composites from NBH without the new blade technology .

About the only things similar between the 2 sticks is the look (kind of) the shaft shape and the lite stick'um coating.

or you could go with the XXV, i'm pretty sure the only major difference is the fused blade instead of the xxxx's true 1.

The most noticeable differences would be weight and balance.
