Did they come out with an updated one? I saw that a year ago and was hoping they'd add to it with new sticks as they came out.

Nothing is in the works at this moment but we do hope it continues. The work he has done for our sister company, Tennis Warehouse, is quite incredible.

Thx for the lead - I just ordered the A6.0SBP from the same guy. $5 FedEx Shipping to Canada too in addition to the crazy low price. I've had 3 XCore 9's (One Sr. two Int) so I'm curious to see how the A6.0SBP compares.

Spoke too soon... Seller just cancelled my order and issued a refund - no stock left.

Damn, that sucks

I think I got the last one yesterday. 

I saw the listing before, but it seemed like a "too good to be true" sort of thing, so I ignored it. When I saw people here saying it was legit, I figured it was divine intervention, and I'd be risking a lightning bolt to pass on it again.

The original 5.2 was one of my favorite sticks ever, so I'm excited to try this. Honestly, if I were to look a gift horse in the mouth, I'd probably prefer the slight extra weight and durability of the 5.2, but I'm not gonna complain.

It looks like you guys blew his cover. All his listings have been pulled. If I were to hazard a guess, there is something amiss with these particular twigs.

[Fletch 219]

Too good to be... "True"?

Now I'm nervous if mine gets canceled or not...

I'm hoping there's a way to make this a regular sort of thing, because I found it to be an incredibly helpful resource. For me, it gives a firmer idea of what to expect from a stick. It certainly help me understand why my 1X did not feel like my QRL when I tried loading it up.

[Fletch 219]

I agree... I am hesitant to spend $$$ on any OPS, it really is a gamble.  I took a couple hundred shots with my ACF yesterday at stick time and am still loving it, so this time the gamble paid off but it doesn't always work out that way.

eBay dude just canceled my order. I'll just go retail. 

[Fletch 219]

That's messed up.  Did he give you a reason as to why he cancelled it?

"'Im out of stock or the item is damaged."

 

I confirmed with him prior to the order about having what I wanted. Definitely sucks, I wanted to actually try both sticks. I'm working something out with someone on Sideline for the 6.0 SBP though now.

Ugh, that sucks. Sorry man.

All good here, was too good to be true this time. Got a ew A6.0 SBP on the way now.

I'm looking replace my Eastons with something that plays similarly. I assume there're no graphs for Easton since they are no more. Does anyone who has played a CX and any of the graphed sticks have any insight as to which would be to closest flex profile to a Stealth?

Thanks

Purchased on 5/12/17 for $279.99 plus CA state sales tax.  Broken tonight on a wrist shot from the circle.  

EDIT - True has contacted me about replacing it, which is awesome  

[six501 8]

I'd still ask True if they would one time replace it. Its so close to the 30 day mark. I had an issue with my 5.2 a while back and they offered to extend warranty but I had to wait months for a new stick and passed.

The fine folks at True reached out to me - now that is great customer service.

Yep, Zac also helped me out when I broke a couple of their replacement blades last year.  Good dudes :)

And that's how you make a repeat customer.

does anyone know why the MC2 curve is only available for the X-Series and not the A-Series?
