Post by: Dry Creek on June 10, 2011, 03:24:00 PM

Just wondering what the difference is or are they the same thing?

Thanks

Same thing but I think that if the shaft walls were under a certain thickness (.015 maybe?) it was labeled lite. Right now in the corner I have 2117 and 2115 GGIIs, the 2115s are labeled lite.

same thing...just a marketing gimmick.   :rolleyes:  

I have arrows of same size with some saying lite and others saying nothing...and they weigh the same.  With the popularity of compounds, some shooters thought those marked "Lite" would go faster.    

Actually, I think I am now   :confused:

I believe they consider under .016 wall thickness Lite's and under .012 wall thickness Superlite's.I may be wrong but that is what I've heard.Like 2016's some will say Lite and some just say 2016.

XX75 come in heavier wall, as state above. Lites are for basically for lighter bows, 0.012 - 0.016
My grandson shoots 1616 Lites.

They bend easier, shoot a little faster in some bows, and offer less energy at impact. Easton's website should have the information your looking for...

I have some 2216's that say lite on them and some that don't.
They weigh the same. Have 2117's also say lite.
I believe that the last time this came up it was determined that the word lite was indeed a marketing ploy directed towards the compound guys.
