Unicorn Soft Flex Shaft

[Joene]

Hey guys,

I tried the softflex shaft, because i really like the idea that a soft shaft mabey gives you more room to make small groups and less chance on a deflection.

But i can't get a single flight placed in the shaft!

Anyone else having problem with these shafts?
I still think this is a great idea from Unicorn!(Yes i said something positive about Unicorn for a change Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

I couldnt get flights in mine either - had to use a knife to prise open the prongs.

We can ask Barney! He used them for a while haha.

Hmm ... does anyone have clear photos of the tops of the stems? Is there any way to DIY it so it's easier?

[guest2]

My experience with Master Shafts sold at WDS tells me that's a common issue among flexible plastic stems. Challenging. Imagine if you have to re-insert those flights at middle of the game.

So quit insisting and move back to Target Pro Grips or Laro Stems.

100+ micron can be hard to fit. try first without spring ring and if ya have a problem open the stem top with a Stanley blade

From the unclear photos on the net, I'm guessing the prongs comes to an apex of sorts, and that's why the difficulty fitting in flights. What about cutting or sanding off a very small part of that apex, and bevel it using the same Xacto/hobby knife?

Had the same problems with one80 proplast stems, used (a sharp) point of another dart to open the prongs up.
