new Easton aluminum shaft

[WINGS 0]

I was in my LHS (McArthur's Source for Sports) the other day getting my skates sharpened and I saw a new Easton shaft, I can't remember exactly what it's called but I think it's either a Cyclone Aluminum or Typhoon Aluminum. It is black with white graphics. Anybody else seen this? I forgot to check the price.

It is the Cyclone Aluminum.

It's a piece of crap is what it is. I've seen one too. Expect that to last more then three slap shots if you weigh over 150 and your nuts.

Although they are old, they hold up pretty well. I personally owned two shafts, and each of them lasted for about 3 years each... the smaller radius of the shaft feels more comfortable than the traditional alum shafts...

btw, i weigh about 210lbs, and prefer to have whippy sticks... i was able to get a pretty decent slapper.... fast release on the snappers too...

They have the new Easton graphics so it is easy to get it confused for something new.

That smacks of re-badging to clear stuff in the warehouse (repaint it with the new scheme, despite likely being manufactured years earlier).
