[REVIEW] Brine Ti22 D-Pole(Classic Grip)
Hey guys this is my review on the Brine Ti22 D-Pole(Classic Grip).
Weight -- 7/10. This pretty light for a titanium. I own a Titan classic and the Ti22 feels a lot lighter. The Ti22 weighs 6.3 oz a/m length, and approx. 12.6 for Defense. For titanium, its nice and light, but comparsion to everything else. Its kinda heavy.
Feel/Grip -- 10/10. I'm a big classic grip guy, and I love having a smooth stick so I can slide my hands to shorten up on the stick, yet still able to hold onto the stick. If you like a "sticky" or rough grip made with the shaft, it isn't for you, unless you feel like throwing tons of tape on the shaft. Personally, I think this one is perfect for defenders for those quick turnovers.
Strength -- 7/10. For the greatness of grip and weight, there comes the downside. Its strong, just not as strong as the STX Titanium(Original). Its basically even with the Titan Classic. I heard a rumor that the Pro is really weak and has a thin wall, and I have never looked at the Pro. So, I can not tell you about the Pro. This shaft is strong, stronger than all of brine's other shafts, and stronger than the klyte's and kpro's, It just doesnt beat STX Titanium(Original).
Appearance -- 5/10. Smoke grey, just like every other titanium. It does have a nice shine and a big, sick, white brine logo on it, though. Nothing much to it, nothing fancy. Don't expect much for looks.
Dents/Scratches -- 8/10. The Ti22 has been good to me. I haven't had any dents, It really doesn't dent. It does scratch if you put some friction to it with a Diamond(But then again, what doesnt). Hitting sticks with it, like normal, gives scratches, but just a lot easier than other shafts.
OVERALL -- This is a great shaft overall for D. I love it, I can't stop using it(until I total it haha). My judgement, 8/10.
Oh, and another thing, I also haven't used the New STX titanium model, but I remember the old one, that had titanium and the small stx symbol. I don't know if this is a difference from the new one to the old one, but the old one was beastly.
EDIT: Hey guys also, my camera is broken, I can't get any pictures. Also, the logo is rubbed off so it really wouldn't help for pics. Sorry about that.
