Mission Tapered Blades

[flyrzman 0]

Does anyone use these? I'm looking to switch from easton's because they just keep breaking. I'd like to know if the Mission's are durable and what curve might be close to the iginla, also what's the difference between the Vhex and Zedcore?

Leopold 2 or Hossa will be the closest w/Mission.

V-Hex is a high end blade full carbon, etc..

Zedcore is more of a pricepoint blade.

The Mission sticks are popular in my league so I can say through 20+ games I haven't seen a Mission shaft/blade/stick go bad. But you have to take into consideration the level of competition.

Really? Maybe you can answer this then, do you have any idea what cuve might be somewhere between a iginla and a sakic?

^^^ I thought the Gaborik was more like the Forsberg?

Gaborik/Elias/Boyes depending on year

Mission Hossa = Easton Iginla.

Old Bauer Hossa (PM9; renamed 4 times in the last 5 years) = Easton Forsberg

Are they supposed to be exactly the same? I was looking at my old L2 Elias stick and my brother's Boyes OPS and it looks like Elias has a bit more heel curve to it and perhaps a little less loft.

essentially the same, but mission changed OEMs for their sticks and the curve was tweaked slightly. IIRC, the Boyes was going to have a slightly higher lie as well when the fuels came out.
