V9 or Mako II?

[rfm1237 0]

Need a new e28. Looks like there are some good deals on the mako II stick. Is there any real difference between the mako II and the v9? Are they pretty much the same stick?

Save your money and grab a mako II.

I have both and cant notice enough difference to justify the cost difference.

I had both and actually liked the Mako II considerably more.

One thing to consider with the two is that the V9 is going to play stiffer than the Mako2.

significantly stiffer.

Did the original Mako play stiffer than the Mako2?

I have 75 flex in both and rotate often between use, the flex feels consistent to me between the original and the updated Mako.

Mako II was one of the whippiest sticks I've ever used for an 85/87 flex.

Alas I broke mine in my first game using it and eventually will get a V9 as a replacement since my pattern is on back order until March (from mid Jan).
