Easton shaft flex

I was wondering if anyone knew what Easton shaft flex would be most similar to a Sherwood 7000 wood stick? Would it be 85 or 100? This would be for a Z Bubble or Ultralight. Thanks.

The new red ultralites are 100 and 110 flexes in Canada... You arent going to find aything that flexes like a wood stick does because wood sticks are so inconsistant that it would be a completely different feel.
As for the bubbles, you can get intermediates in 80 and seniors in 100...again no comparison to a wood stick.

Your best bet depending on how much you weigh (180 and under go with 80 flex) you will probably enjoy using the new Ultralights

This is probably generalizing...if you had a brand spanking new wood stick...flex is like 90-110 or so. Ultralites feel pretty stiff and gives a feel of durability that's for sure. But yeah, start lower cause a stiff stick with no whip wouldn't help you much on your shot.
