New Sherwood Shafts

[Vapor 0]

Saw them at my LHS today, were just getting them in. I ran a quick search and didnt get any info on them. Any specs?

theyve been out for ages...

Oh, first time Ive seen em.

Apparently they're pretty light and durable. Their grip makes polarfibre seem like nothing tho. A teammate won a force off a raffle last summer, i'll see him in a couple of weeks to ask him how he liked it.

a guy on my HS team has a force flex which he got after he broke 4-5 sticks in 2 weeks. Its lasted him a while and he said he likes it better then his old Zbubbles

I recall seeing one on ebay, 90 flex I believe, the other day.

Edit: Ebay.ca that is.

[Chadd 916]

They come in 90, 100, 110 and 120 in the senior sizes, or at least they used to.

[Buzz_LightBeer 974]

i think taper's cone in 105 and 115 as well

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

They do.

[Chadd 916]

Sorry, mine was for force flex's

Is it just me or is the Eclipse a taperflex fused with an axion blade? They come in the same flexes and the weights works out to about the same when i added them together.

Sorta, but with a few differences. The Eclipse's shaft is tapered and dosn't have the sandpaper type coating , unlike the Taperflex shaft which is standard and has the sandpaper type coating. Also, The Axion blade in the Eclipse is full composite and decently light, unlike the standard Axion blade which is a Hybrid and is on the heavy side.

Silly me. Also is the sharkskin coat brutal on gloves? I've felt it and it didnt exactly feel great.

how is it axion blade for stick handelling?

and the taperflex is standard not tapered? really?

i was thinking of getting one before but now....

crosby uses the forceflex 110 flex right now too

[Chadd 916]

I've never seen a taperflex with sandpaper, all of them here have been smooth.

[thejackal 46]

The Taperflex is standard. But, it starts out thicker at the top, then becomes skinnier at the kickpoint. In other words, the shaft has a bigger/wider shaft than most sticks.

[Eazy_b97 1]

It tapers to fit Standards blades, and I don't see the stick that often, but I've never seen it without the Sandpaper grip.

[lee92 2]

a bunch of ppl on my high school team got the tapers n a couple force flexs. they all seemed to have the sandpaper grip on em, n i didnt mind it at all. the 95 flex tapers and 90 flex force flexes are amazing shafts. out of like 5 tapers n 3 force flexes, i think only 1 of each broke, so they were pretty good on durability. and one guy has 2 of the tapers, and they lasted him all yr, and hes a tank on sticks too...broke 4 responses and 2 rubber responses this yr

Isn't that what a z-bubble does. I have had problems with z-bubbles breaking wear it tapers to fit in standard blades. Did sherwood fix tis problem or does the same thing ahppen with these sticks?

Same concept, however, SW's shaft is bigger in the handle and tapered down to a standard.

O, so does it feel like a 2x4 in your hand at the top?

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

Too thick for me.

However, I use the thinnest shaft probably made (Flyweight Metamorphic)
