its new and looks like its not meant for customs.

i mean where are you supposed to out leathers and such?

its a nice head and has nice stringing holes but this is kinda a bummer.

what do you mean? You would put the leather in the top and the bottom holes?

yea like its only meant for mesh or something cuz it has some interlocking so you dont have to string a top string like you usually would.

you get what i mean?

I've seen it in person. Seems pretty cool. Almost exactly like a CS10 and whatever head. The shaft feels plasticy, but the stick is really light.

okay, klein is right. this thing is not meant for customs. it looks like it is going to be just like the asylum, which i have, and there is no way you can out a custom in an asylum. anyway, ya gait got a new compostite shaft or sumthin comming out. its gunna be like the CS10, but i heard that its gunna be more drastic, like 15 or 20 degrees.

well i know gary and paul liked to use bowed shafts in college, so maybe its meant to give the player that kind of feel?

i still don't get why you can't string customs with it. You put the leathers in the 1, 3, 5, and 7 top holes, and in the bottom four holes. The sidewalls holes are similar to the triton.

Didnt Gait come out with shafts like the Crankshaft before STX? also i saw it on some site and it seemed pretty cheap for a complete stick.

Gait created the Arc. It was a shaft that was slightly curved throughout the entire shaft, and Paul and Gary Gait loved using them. I think it was eventually outlawed, but now it looks like Gait is just making their own version of the Crankshaft.

Looks like it's going to be great for stalling on. And i STILL do NOT get how it's not meant for trad? :dummy: :dummy: :dummy: :dummy: :dummy:

No stick is really made for any type of stringing. Some are just easier than others.

I don't think that this head looks THAT innovative seeing that STX already has the CS10. I also think that they should have just a regular topstring hole setup so we don't have to figure out how to do it.

Same with the primer, but i managed. they still might be too small... Id have to buy it to believe it.









EDIT: whoah nevermind saw it from the back. those holes are microscopic.

ehh, i saw an ad for that in the Great ATlantic Catalog, kinda like a knock off version on the profile, but i think this one might be special, i kinda have a feeling....

so, is the head itself offset or is it in the shaft

the head is offset so it can't go on a cs10 thats illeagle, you could custom that so easy it's sickning theres a crazy amount of stringing holes you could put any kinda custom you want in it. the scoop and pinch look pretty decient as well.

A dremel would work.
