I'd like to see some sort of sewn-in design for this issue and not just an add-on plates. Bauer already has the plastic structure inside the knee blocks. I’m curious why bauer went away from this design since it’s more or less what was used on 2s and prior models. 2s slides outstandingly and 1s supposedly is still the best sliding pad ever made just durability was terrible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCarGuy Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 How similar are G6.1 and G6 in catching surface area? When I compared Warrior's graphics from their catalog, G6.1 looked much bigger. It's starting to sound more and more like a difference in break angle rather than just shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall shape is different, it's not like getting the 90 degree sewn in liner on the 6.0 would get you the same glove. These are two different gloves. Though, you definitely feel the reduction in the palm size and the increased pocket. Almost like your index finger is right up against the seam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that the block itself isn't max size. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks These pads being the second stiffest version of their pads was just shy of matching a Mach in flex at the thigh. Still more flexible at the ankle From what I hear, their max stiffness is very stiff, probably not Mach super stiff, but close. Knee is still sewn in, so you're not getting the same features as stabilislide, but knee felt good and stiff. No idea if the knee block is max side or not.

Ah okay, so stock G6 would be like a 2/5 in Bauer (HyperLite is 1/5, UltraSonic is 3/5)? Was hoping that G6 would've been stiffer than that. The only option (if you want a stiffer pad) from stock to custom is to stiffen up the pad below the knee so I'd guess that the thigh would stay the same. Thank you!

Yea, I'd say they're close enough to the stiff pads you see from other manufacturers finally. I did the bend test to see the flex across the thighrise and I barely moved it.

ilyazhito Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Anyway, what is Max Size supposed to do? CoverTech (or whatever the term was) meant that the outer roll was angled to stop more shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoverTech (or whatever the term was) meant that the outer roll was angled to stop more shots. We're referring to the max size allotted by the NHL for the perimeter and thickness of the knee block. It isn't a Warrior specific naming gimmick, but more of a reference to build standard among the main pad producers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 That makes more sense. Sometimes, a lot of the terms used are marketing gimmicks. It's good to know that this one is legit. How is a big knee block helpful? Does it seal the five hole, or does it just make it easier to land on the pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max thickness lifts you higher off the ice, reducing strain on your joints. Max diameter gives you more landing area and allows for larger knee guards to be worn comfortably.

johncho Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Anyone know if the Senior line will come out at the same time? There will be just one Senior line right? And I'm speculating the difference will mainly be the inner materials used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertnamehere Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Got confirmation from someone that the slide plate kit does in fact fit on the G5, as we all kind of figured anyway. Sounded like it would be available in about 2 weeks or so and if the gentleman wasn't mistaken, only costs about $60 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertnamehere Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 https://www.sourceforsports.ca/collections/goalie-equipment/brand_warrior Looks like just about everything G6 is online and priced here, but not yet available to order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
