The new R/V1 PRO+ is a significantly lighter version of a CR1. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwarnar Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 First impressions of the on ice use: Weight - Little to no difference in the V1 Pro+ vs the 1S. Grip - As was discussed earlier in the thread the stick does have a textured section at the handle. I actually prefer the Warrior to my 1S grip as its not raised or as tacky as the Bauer. Vibration - Little to none. The plug popped out on the first hard stick shot I took in my warm up. Stick Handling - If I was going to keep the stick I would cut down the shaft. Its too long, being 2-3" longer than my 1S. The custom curve was amazing and I was able to get some extra loft on playing the puck. The paddle length is what's killing me... My 1S is a 26" and this is bigger, around 27". I think my 1S is a little tall for me and the added length on this stick really threw my blocker positioning out of whack. I may give it another skate, but its likely going to be for sale in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grip I can't confirm stock... @Kirk3190? Its not tacky but it does have texture and prevents your hand from sliding. @coopaloop1234 and @SaveByRichter35 described it perfectly as semi-tacky. It is taller in paddle and shaft height than the 1S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwarnar Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 I ended up ordering a CR1, 25" with a Bishop (twist) curve. The hockey shop goal had a 20% off sale today plus free shipping. Curious to do a direct comparison between these 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the rink you play in has protecte lighting....the Bishop gets a LOT loft. Total upgrade to my passing and shooting. Gotta be little cautious with upright stick saves to shots on the ice (reduced converage), but it's totally worth it. I just find you gotta be a bit more proactive pushing down and be aware of how the stick contacts the ice, but once you get used to it, the trade-off of the twist is worth it if you're interested in being an active puckhandler.
