What was this easton shaft called?

[mack 44]

Yeah, those came out when they became A/Gs and had worse separation problems than the old A/C-looking ones. The A/Gs were just really bad, but at the time I did love the 7000's thin shape.

By the time the Ultralite colored versions came out I had already made the jump to full composites sans aluminum.

Like the Concave Louisville Loc-Jaws shafts? :lol:

Those were brutal and their best comp shafts were made by Fontaine. Fontaines were fragile, but they were about 3 years ahead of anyone being all graphite.

I remember having a black A/G with red writing and one with blue, and I used other black/silver weave looking A/Cs in the past as well as the A/C pictured here. IIRC the Silver Tip A/Gs had a more rounded shaft profile while the A/Cs were much boxier with the exception of the convexed model. I remember the A/Cs started to get have the composite material look really frayed and some of shafts looked "hairy" after extended use.

Oh god, we dont ever speak of the Loc-jaw.

That was right up there with those stupid rubber pieces that Bauer put on the blade tenons so you wouldn't need glue.

[AWE46M3 0]

^^^ Yup, I remember cutting those off all the time...

[chippa13 1844]

I just left them on but glued the blades in. They usually needed tape on the tenon, anyway.

haha i remember a teamate one time taking a slap shot and his blade flying out of his shaft during a game..

Wow, Harpoons!

To this date, I was NEVER able to pop out an Harpoon blade. My boy Shawn was a pro at it.

Got to the point that I just crossground every one off and put them on the shelves.

Since we're talking about Easton, remember Z-Wax? Every mfgr had a gimmick.

A/G was thinner and concave.

The tenon was in two parts, with a screw in the middle. The way you accessed the screw was through a hole in the hosel. When you tightened the screw, it would make the tenon expand and lock itself to the shaft.

ok that sounds interesting....

Add an older Easton composite to the list with those 2... I have no idea the model, but it was black/grey/yellow graphics, and had that "Shark Skin" texture... man, that was a beauty too.

I still use one of those bad boys, the "ultra composite" man that shaft's a tank...wish they would bring back the 'shark skin', too

[AnthonyJTa 0]

That's the one, Twister... beauty. I'm sure mine is kicking around my parents house somewhere, but where they're cut for dekhockey, they'll be too short/stiff.
