It's more than 60 dollars but it is on sale for 65 dollars. I haven't used it but they only have the whip flex. Anyone have a review on it? |
I've been using the Easton Octane all season and haven't had any problems with it. I mostly use it because I'm cheap (only $22.95 USD retail). It's lighter than a wood stick and lasts about as long. I've also found I have a little more zip in my slap shot since switching from wood. I've also seen them at MC Sports, Dunhams, and Dicks for under $30, blade included, but the blade profiles are pretty limited (Sakic, Modano).
I've considered moving up to the Typhoon but I'm fairly rough on sticks and I'd be pissed if I dropped $50 (actually $54.95 USD retail) on a shaft and broke it the second time out. |

I've seen a lot of Nike shafts in discount bins. They never caught on, for whatever reason -- I like mine just fine, it's not cutting-edge light but handles well.

That XN-10 looks pretty nice, but I already have too many unused sticks. CCM has the Vector 100 shaft, which ePuck has for $40 if I recall correctly. Weight wise, I remember it feeling slightly lighter than the Easton Typhoon.
For some reason my local hockey shop made a couple of mistakes with a couple intermediate Mission products. I bought a brand new M-1 for $70, supposed retail is $129. Buddy picked up an M-2 shaft for $60, and the retail is $80. Try out the Buyer/Seller forums on ModSquadHockey. I picked up two Cyclone shafts for $20 apiece, and those retail for at least $70 at most places. |

I would highly recommend the shaft and the epuck price is an absolute steal. :clap: |
395 seems heavy for a shaft, do you mean with the blade in it, its 395

The rubber is 320 grams without the blade.

If you are looking for a Rubber, Redlite or XN10, then go to Epuck for the best price now until they run out of stock.
They used to have the Pro Radius Rubber in Yellow and the Regular flex in the Redlite. Plus in the email I got, the sale is supposed to last a week for the Redlite and XN10. Also these are 2005 editions except for the rubber. |

I also use a Typhoon and absolutely love it, especially considering the price.
|
Redlite XN10 is ridiculously light, 250 grams if I recall correctly.
