Chadd 916 Report post Posted January 13, 2005 The protective line is still available.... Fantastic, the M1 shin and elbows have been very popular here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ambro 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2005 Yea the elbows and shins have been working amazing for me, except for straps... they're kinda stretching out and don't stay as tight, but thats to be expected. I'll be getting the shoulders this summer most likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ambro 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2005 Said this before but no one answered... we'll try it again.Is the Hex-1 shaft not made by Aldila? I don't see the little "a" logo on the shaft of it like I do on the M-1 and M-1 Grip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3801 Report post Posted January 15, 2005 I don't think so. It's a different shaft construction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheechoo 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2005 Hex-1 - This stick is Mission's top dog for 2005. The shaft has a different feel than the M-1 (not as boxy) and they are using 4 materials in their shaft to increase strength. Could someone please tell me what is meant by the comment that the feel of the Hex-1 is "not as boxy" as that of the M-1. I've never used an M-1, so may be that's why I don't know what a boxy feeling is. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3801 Report post Posted January 19, 2005 Saw the stuff today. The Hex-1 is REAL NICE. That Ribeiro curve is beautiful. Feels like a lie 5, smaller curve than Modano, slight mid. The final L7 also is really nice, the tongue is very nice as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheechoo 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2005 That Ribeiro curve is beautiful. Feels like a lie 5, smaller curve than Modano, slight mid.Mid?? The catalogue lists the Ribeiro as a heel. But then again, Mission seems to always describe their blades a little different than the other manufacturers. I was really hoping it would be a heel or mid-heel.

Chadd 916 Report post Posted January 19, 2005 I say it is a heel... Justin, if you happen to have an L2 blade in the office, bill the shop and send it to me. I'd be happy to put the matter to rest. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 I saw the line today and liked most of it. The Ribeiro is a heel as far as I can tell. It looks just about perfect to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We didn't spend much time on the sticks and the lie looked 5-ish when I grabbed the Hex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bulletproof_funk 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2005 Is the difference between the 2005/2004 Pitch 3 holder only in the screws and adjustment tool? i.e. can '04 Pitch holders be retro-fitted with '05 nuts/bolts, or is the new holder slightly different in that respect?
