[s4gobabygo 0]

i've read penty of threads about reusing a shaft where the blade broke, but what about if the shaft broke... can i reuse the blade? (assumng i cut above the blade hosel and remove all excess shaft material?) possible with a xxx-lite ops?

no you cant. unless you want to go ahead and put like a 3 foot long plug into the stick, your gonna have to retire it

You can always use it for dryland training instead of letting it sit in your garage or exercise.

You can reuse the blade from a broken OPS but not on the XXX lite. That stick is a "true" one piece and the blade does not have a tenon that goes into the shaft. Sticks that are "fused" are able to be taken apart.

thanks for the info guys. are my xxxx's and one90's the same?

[chikinpotpie 137]

On the very basic levels of construction- yes

In that, neither is a fused two piece stick. Beyond that, there are differences

i've been able to reuse the blades of broken Warrior Dolomites. it wasn't pretty, but all i needed was a heat gun, a table vise and some elbow grease. anyone been able to do the same with other twigs?

There is another option. I got a Vapor XXX Lite from a mother on the opposing team (nephew's game). She was throwing it away, and I took it to a SRS repair facility one mile from work. $30 later, I have a great stick at a great price.
