easton s15 shaft/blade combo

[missionrh11 0]

hey guys, just wondering if anyone has tried or heard anything about the new easton s15 shaft/blade combo. I loved my ZBubble and i am thinking maybe I want to try a tapered 2piece since I havent found a one piece I have really like yet (I tried the Sher-wood RM7 and TPS Response C4).

The S15 is the repainted Z-Bubble.

S15 is not tapered

The SE is replacing the Synergy II as a tapered shaft

oh oh, i thought it was tapered i guess i was wrong. sorry about that. maybe more people can give feedback on what its like after its been out a little longer

I would hope so, especially with it not yet being out.

yeah i bought a zbubble about 4 years ago and i have loved it. i just recently started buying OPS but i havent found anything i am crazy over. and actually the s15 shaft and blade is out on the hockeymonkey website. it looks pretty sweet.

The S15 shaft is out. At least out here it is. They are even advertising it in Rubber magazine. Grip is $109.99

we have had our s15 shafts for about week now, i guess its only a matter of days of weeks before everyone else gets theirs

My bad, I thought we were waiting until April.

I haven't used a shaft blade combo since I used a TPS gold aluminum, but I figured I would give a newer one a shot. I grabbed the S15 shaft and S15 blade (sakic), and I ended up liking it. I know it's the z bubble, but the shaft feels a lot different from what I felt. Shots, passes, one timers are pretty good right off the bat. The shaft is pretty damn whippy, but it's a fast whip so the stick still isn't flexing while I'm in my follow through. So far the only downside has been the blade. My shots were fine and passing/feel was good, but I used the stick twice, with only one session of serious shooting, and the blade looks like this:

Now I'm trying to think of what other options I should go with for a blade, at the same time hoping it won't affect my shot too much.

Anyone else try it out?

Is the s15 blade not just a z-carb/focus flex? Maybe try out an ST blade, the kickpoint in the shaft would be lower in that case

[McDougalfaschnitzer 32]

I'm probably going to try the ST. Kick point isn't a big deal to me. Seems like I've performed better with a higher kick point.

the st may make that stick a AX
