I was wondering what you think when you break a shaft. Mainly because I dont use my own money and Ive broken only a few in like 6 years I get a certain sense of satisfactionthat youre working hard or that you checked hard or something. But I would imagine many of you are mad.. etc?

I am sad. I have a special bond with my stick and breaking a shaft is like losing a good pal. I keep the pieces tho.

I think to myself, and sometimes yell violent curse words.
Rgae, just straight up rage that my shaft got broken. And if I have been using it for a while, i will feel kinda sad.

I feel a little satisfied like you said like i was playing hard or something. but i also feel a little sad because i love my stick and i dont want him to die.
i have broken like 6 heads and 2 shafts, and i hang the pieces on my wall. all the heads are hung upside down. my cyber literally exploded into 9 pieces and its like a mangled red and black mess from the wall, all held together by the mesh.

Breaking shafts, im cool with. Just means you really messed someone up.
Breaking heads, I hate. mostly because all shafts ae the same, but string jobs and pinches will vary between heads.

Really don't like breaking anything. I don't pay for all of my stuff but in a year i've broken 3 shafts (2 wonderboys, 1 AL6000 Pro) and i can't say i enjoy using my backups. I like to have the gear i use in the game at all times. I dont deal well with change so if i have to change my stuff it doesnt work out well.

I felt good cuz it meant i was agressive, sad cuz i was bonded with that shaft, and pissed at the guy who broke it.
I've never broken a shaft.. but I imagine it would be like:
1.) I break the shaft - satisfied.
2.) Somebody else breaks the shaft on an unnecessarily hard check - pissed.

defiantly. i was playing a game of box, picked up the ball in my own corner, and booked it to the other end. a guy about half my size tried hitting my with a warrior diamond, and i ran right through it. split the shaft right in half. but of course, i have the thickest bicep pads on my team. :P

yeah if i broke my shaft i would be super pissed...the satisfactory feeling would come later afteri got a new one and got to tell my story. at the beggining when it breaks i wuld swear alot...then after a lil while and i got a new one i would be kinda ok with it knowing i messed someone up.

I broke my shaft wrap checking someone when i played attack, and I was annoyed cause it was my favorite shaft, and I was the one who did the check. :bawling:
