Hey guys, I need your viewpoints? Which shaft shape do you prefer?

Recommended Posts

For me, I like slightly concave side walls with rounded corners. In my opinion, the straight side walls don't contour to my grip whereas the (slightly) concavity gives me a natural and comfortable hold on the shaft.

I prefer medium-large and boxy. Favorite retail so far has been the square option from Warriors customizer.

I prefer it for grip and shooting. Rounder shafts seem to slip around in my lower hand when shooting. Even with a grip coating, tacky palms and a firm hold. I also seem to notice the shaft twisting more with round shafts.

I have long fingers, so I prefer a nice boxy shaft. The Harrow box shape was perfect. I have a Sher-Wood T80 and T70 from a few years ago that are also the style I prefer. They fit my hands better and I feel like I have more control. The rounded shafts feel too small in my hands. I almost feel like I'm strangling them.

I really enjoy the more traditional shaped shafts, but it really is your own opinion. take into account what kind of gloves you will be wearing because i notice that also affects what you'll like.

Whatever is on my APX. I love the feel of this stick. The Widow I had prior was pretty good too. I don't like them when they are too concave or big like the Sherwood T90.

i prefer double concave with rounded corners, the warrior shafts just have me sold on their dolomites or old dolos, those feel amazing, such a soft shape on the polar fibre and the nipple grip

But the true fit to the sher wood shafts just has me sold, those feel just amazing, soft C style shape great grip

My all time favorite is the CNT Stealth, double con cave walls slightly rounded corners but big and boxy.

Well, at least that's how I remember it.

Now if I can just get the CNT and the RS to have ......

0.o

An RS w/ more concave on the walls would be great!

;p

I prefer rounded corners. I like double concave too. I have fairly big hands and am a pretty wristy stickhandler. I also take mostly wristers. I can use boxy-feeling shafts, I just don't like the feel quite as much.

I prefer the traditonal shape of Reebok and CCM. I have a 'C' shape CCM and find that it's too small in my hand. My hand gets fatigued with the small shape and is uncomfortable about half way through the game.
