Bauer XV Shaft

[estovlo2 0]

Have people had problems with the grip peeling on the XV shaft? I have a TFG shaft and the grip hasn't peeled at all. It's the same grip isn't it? I want a tapered shaft with grip, and I know the synthesis grip has had peeling problems.

The grip on the XV shaft doesn't really "peel off" like on other shafts, the grip just keeps getting less and less after a while but it doesn't physically peel right off. When the grip becomes non-existant, just run an Easton Tackifying Cloth down the length of the shaft and it'll be as good as new.

Mine has rubbed off on the corners, and it just kind of spreads from there.

Mine peeled like no tomorrow, Only had it for 3 months or so.

Weird, my grip is still working and hasn't really peeled off too much. The shaft is about 5 months old.

Hmm. Is there a tapered shaft out there with grip that doesn't peel?

Innovative Novius or 1100 Tapered with Soft Grip.

Will Synthesis blades fit in an XV shaft?

provided that they are the same size (ie. sr with sr) then yes, they'll fit

Isn't the grip on the TFG the same as on the XV? I've had no problems with my TFG's grip. Is a tapered Inno the only other option with grip that won't peel?

i have a novious, its a great shaft - but the stickum is coming off. ive had it a year, it started coming off months ago. still a great shaft though, and most likely better sticky wise than most of the others. less sticky than easton.

I'm just trying to stay away from Inno if possible because they've tourqued on me in the past.
