I'm just curious as to what you all think about exclusive shafts? For example right now Great Atlantic has a blue KryptoPro called the Hydro, and Lacrosse Unlimited as a Hot Pink men's Kryptolyte. I the past Great Atlantic did another blue KryptoPro (I believe it was a darker shade) called the Trident, and LaxWorld did an orange KryptoPro called the Apache. What shaft/color combination would you guys like to see?

uh well i dont really like the idea of any of them except the Pink and Yellow klyte cause its actually a Kpro but the others i believe are just a waste of money.
i would like to see my team colors though, Green and Gold

I pretty much like shafts only to be silver. I would like to see an all silver/chrome looking harrow field attack that doesn't chip.

I hate to break it to you, but they are kryptolytes, just like they say and not KryptoPro. No one is going to make a shaft out of a higher grade material (C555), then label it as the lower grade (C405), and sale it at the lower grade price. They'd be losing a lot of money.

actually, warrior labled it as a kpro and the sticker says krypto pro but lu did put it as a klyte as a mistake and never changed it.

Yes you are right. I have the yellow one and I even called them and they said Warrior made the mistake and sent them the Kpros instead of lytes at no extra charge so they kept the price at $65. And I compared it to my silver kpro and they're the same.

Only the yellow one. And they fixed that quite speedily.
I would like to see shafts with custom patterns on the side if we are being unrealistic. I think some people could get pretty creative with their sticks.

Hmmm hadn't seen that, but I'd say UL knows what they are doing. This year Warrior made two women's Kryptolyte shafts...a hot yellow and a hot pink. And UL has both of those colors as exclusive men's colors and sell them as a Kyptolyte. My money is that Warrior messed up the label on those shafts, not that ULdoesn't know what they are doing or doesn't want to make an extra $20 and up a shaft.

I don't see the pink or the yellow lpros on LU's site. Anyone have more info? Do they still have them?

Nevermind, found them ;)
Meh, I'm sick of Warrior and their shafts, but hey, whatever. I'm more up for companies offering exclusive color combos for gloves. Now THAT would be awesome. I mean, a yellow shaft would be pretty cool, I admit, but what about some cool color combo for gloves? I mean, that'd just be hot.

I never said it had to be Warrior those were just examples that were already on the market. I'm talking about any shafts: dB803, Axe, Ignite, etc...
Like a white dB803, or something that doesn't exist.

I have both, the stealth grey and the navy blue. The only thing about the navy blue one is that after some checks, in the area of impact, a little color comes off. Also, the grey kpro is not a special edition shaft.
