Looking for cheap intermediate shaft that takes non-tapered blades

Not anymore. intermediate sticks take junior or senior blades depending on the brand. It was too much of a hassle to stock three sizes of blades.

Would you like to find me an intermediate blade here? They sell intermediate shafts...

I think Easton's take seniors these days.

I saw you got a One95 shaft, I was just about to say I got a One90 intermediate shaft a few days ago. I THINK they're pretty similar construction, although the One95 probably has the new grip and paint job.

I'm REALLY impressed with it so far. I typically use 75 flex cut down about 5" so they end up about 95 flex on the ice, but I got a 67 flex and cut it down to about 80 for shooting practice (2" shorter than my game sticks, so I needed more whip). It's just a bit more flexible than the 75 flex Dolomites I use, but feels great.

I paired it up with a Montreal M95 wood blade, which is one of the lighter wood blades available and uses an ABS core so it lasts a really long time and holds up well on outdoor surfaces. But I was amazed how light the One90 shaft is, it ended up pretty blade heavy, so I put a wood plug in and cut it even with the end. The balance is much better.

I'll stop back in after I shoot with it tonight, but I'm pretty excited. I haven't had a good shooting range stick since my game sticks are too long and too stiff when cut down. I hope it's got the kick everyone says it does!
