"Successor" to the XN10?

[msander 0]

I hope it's available as a shaft and not just OPS. Also, hoping there's a grip option. And most of all, hoping it is actually available somewhere and not just talked about. Almost none of the major retailers I see carry high end TPS shafts.. in store or online! Ugh!

No grip and OPS only according to what I was told.

Any chance that you heard what they're likely to retail for?

Can pulled blades be used in other shafts? I dislike all of the TPS curves I have tried, I'd rather throw my own in there.

Knowing our luck, it's going to be $150-180 though.

if you can get a clean pull, there is no reason why you couldn't throw it in another shaft.

On the other hand, can they be easily pulled so that in essence, it would be just an XN10 shaft?

If so for those who have used them before, what is the preferred shaft blade setup that has been used in the past with the XN10?

Aw man...I just got out of rehab for my glove addiction, and now I have to worry about the XN10 coming back?

Regular or whip flex, and if going to an OPS...a square toe and curve like the Morrow. Please tell me this is real!

Hey - Thought you guys might be interested in this link - don't know if they still have them in stock, but its R2 XN10 shafts.

Given all the love for it on here, I'm debating about whether or not to pick one up myself.

[gxc999 7]

It looks like they still have some in stock. I can't spend $140 on a shaft, end up paying 2 bills total (blade anyone?) when the XN10 is going to be re-issued...

[TBLfan 25]

There's a reason they have them in stock... If you really wanted a R2 XN10, you knew about those, they aren't THAT good. Although, I have to admit, I did consider it a few times.

[Law Goalie 147]

I don't get it - I thought the R2 XN10 was just the tapered version...

[TBLfan 25]

It is. Redlite is standard, R2 is tapered. I'm a tapered shaft whore. I have yet to buy a OPS over $130, let alone a shaft.

[Law Goalie 147]

Ah. When you said that they "weren't THAT good" I thought there was some implied critique of the R2 against the standard RL.

[TBLfan 25]

Oh no, I meant they were worth $140 a piece. I got my last two for less that $140 combined, shipped.

Someone notify Spree, he'll buy 2 dozen more :D

before I joined this site I saw a couple new R2XN10s on ebay and went for them at $25 and $30 respectively. I stopped there because I didnt know enough about TPS sticks at the time. They ended up selling for about $5 over what I bid. Really wish I could go back in time now and snag those, knowing that I could turn a big profit if I didnt like them

Not at that price I won't. ;)

However....it does sound like the "economic stimulus package" is going to be mailed out around the time of the new XN10's coming to market. Hhhhmmmmmmm...... :D

[kovalchuk71 212]

Any update on the Summer run of Xn10's?

you won't order from them will you?

[DEATHTRON 19]

Psh, talk to me when theres a "W" in the flex rating! (Seriously, I want a boat load of them).

When they get a W flex Modano type stick in stock, that will be the first new OPS I will have purchased. Great move by TPS (so long as they're actual XN10's).

[kovalchuk71 212]

AHHHH. We need whip flexes!

Sounds like the blade is more of the R10 style and not RTM. That is dissapointing.

I want to see a pic of it.

I don't know, from reading about it, sounds like the blade is super stiff and thin and light? Hopefully it's like a pro stock blade. I'm a fan of 100% graphite blades.

[kovalchuk71 212]

Like the new R10 blade. Yuck.
