Icer said: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.

DynamoAO said:Got one. Like the feel, great durability. Absolutely eats your palms though.

Joey13 said:They are great. The shaft with a light composite blade is about the same weight as a TPS XN-10 or an Easton Stealth (I believe 395 grams - ?). I love the shaft and find it very similar to the TPS Response Plus (red one-piece composite). I also like the whip flex (it feels pretty close to an Easton 85 flex) as you can get off quick wrist shots in traffic and absolutely rifle the puck. I have had no problem with whip the flex and I am 230 lbs. The only down-side is that the shaft feels a little slick. If you like "grip" shafts you may not like it.
I would highly recommend the shaft and the epuck price is an absolute steal.
RMU2 said:how many grams?
DynamoAO said:He was asking about the TPS Rubber. Not the Redlite.
Joey13 said:Woops, sorry about that. However, for $65 I'd spend the extra cash on the red lite.
medmed said:well, the typhoon is a great shaft but combined with a good blade 'cause i used to have a to heavy blade for the stick, it was an horrible feeling! but you said under 60$, i bought mine 90$ CAN at canadian tire! it seems i've been crossed up!
