I shot them for a couple seasons when Easton called them Lightspeed and Lightspeed3Ds. They're a really good shaft (HEXX's are better), but I sold most of them and only kept a few of each size for testing purposes. The difference as far as I can tell is a new label and they're now excluded the CB bushing for G-nocks. S-nock / MicroLight nock is a direct fit into .244ID Lightspeeds as well.

Lightspeed 400 7.4 gpi / .291" OD
Hyperspeed400 7.4gpi / .291" OD

 

The Pro's have .001" straightness like the Hexx. Were the Lightspeed 3D's .001"? I noticed the stated weight tolerance on the Hyperspeed standards was 2 grains. That kinda sucks, not that I could tell the difference, though. My Victorys are all within 0.5gr assembled arrows (within a dozen).

I've been gung-ho on getting either Hexx's or South Shore Boomslangs but I really do love Easton 3D S-nocks. I like G nocks too but I like the 3D S nocks better.

Easton pulled the specs for Lightspeed, but if you have a 2018-19 LAS catalog or Easton product guide the specs are there. Lightspeed (blue label) are .003 and Lightspeed3D (orange label) are .001, both with 2grain weight tolerance... same as Hyperspeed and Hyperspeed Pro. Easton also specifies the same insert and "CB" point for Hyperspeed as the Lightspeed. Pretty sure all they did was change the label and eliminate the pre-installed bushing so they could capitalize on the high FOC craze.... just trying to revive and out-dated product with a new label and throwing those 3 letters around to take advantage of the trend ("F" "O" "C")

 

This is incorrect. Easton Hyperspeeds and Hyperspeed Pros are a Made in USA shaft, with an all new design, a completely different construction process, and with more advanced materials and tighter real world tolerances than the Lightspeed line of products.

 

There are still a lot of Lightspeed's out there, so if you just want a .244ID to slide an Super3D nock into, save yourself some money and get those instead of the same shaft with the new "Hyper" label and bigger price tag. GoldTip Ultralight and UltraLight Pro is a virtual twin to the Easton LightSpeed/HyperSpeed (same ID, same OD, same GPI) so they all take the same points, bushings/nocks)

 

Thanks. I'll keep my eyes open.

I have been shooting the hyperspeed pros for a couple months now. A shoulder issue has limited my draw weight to 51 lbs. I wanted a lightweight shaft and somewhat smaller diameter for outside shooting. A 29-3/4’’ draw on a TRX 38 and I’m seeing 285 FPS with 500’s. I have been more than impressed with there long distance grouping. They seem pretty forgiving as well. I haven’t been shooting 3D so I can’t speak of their durability with other shooters involved.

 

I’ve been shooting the hyper speed for about a month now. I like the bohning double click knocks you should check them out. I’ve been very impressed with the arrows. I wanted the pros but you have to buy them in a pro shop thats set up with Easton. They won’t sell the pros on line.

 

I absolutely can't stand the Bohning nocks. They don't fit my center serving, anyhow. I like the clean release the Easton 3D S nocks have better than any other nock including the Beiters.

The Bohning's fit the serving on my son's bow so I put the ones I have on his arrows.

The hyperspeeds are very similar to the discontinued lightspeed which I shoot now and I love them

The Hyperspeed Pros I see on eBay are running about $125/dz shipped for bare shafts. If they're near that price from my local shop I'll probably order some soon.
