spine ? -GT trad vs trad xt

[BRONZ]

Would there be a spine difference between the GT traditional and the GT trad xt if they're both 3555 ?  I know there is a straightness difference.   Thx

according to their website, they are both .500" spine.

I have been told that the black ones are somewhat stiffer than the trads, and that the Nuges have a different spine, but it was also recently posted on here that that info on the Nuges was in error.

Big Jim would likely know for sure.

Straightness and price are the only difference in the Traditional arrows. Like mentioned the black Gt 3555 are a little stiffer and lighter.

This was my assumption, but I wanted to make sure. Thx fellas!!  Merry Christmas!!

They are the same spine. The black shafts are 7.4g per inch and the trads are 8.6 g per inch.

There is no different process in making the xt vs the hunters. The trads are made by taking a black shaft and adding the wrap. The difference in tuning comes from the difference in weight.
