There's probably a ton of people who might not upgrade to G6 if they can throw a slide plate on their G4/G5/GT/GT2. Could be. I'm certainly sticking with my G5s. For anyone impatiently waiting, I strongly recommend picking up some of the 3M ViViD tape/film for your existing knee blocks. Very cheap, pretty easy to apply, long lasting, and very slide-y.

It comes down to the installation - if you follow the instructions for the 3M tape and use a water-alcohol solution and then squeegee it out, it bonds very well to the jenpro material after everything dries.

At 53, I'm aiming for 60 then, other than maybe still coaching, I'll be moving on to other things I enjoy like trail running and road cycling and hoops and martial arts and dancing and hitting the gym. Clearly I'm not short on choices. My GT2 set should keep me satisfied til then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WONGER Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Just posted up my G6 review, I've also been doing some NHL practice skates with them. And a netcam to see how they move in more detail. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Matt at Hockey Review apparently was going to order a 6.0 glove with a stitched in liner but there was a time production issue and he eventually opted for the standard removable one, so...FYI, it's a possible/available option if you ask or insist or whatever. The reverse if also possible for the 6.1 glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've literally needed new pads since last November (probably even longer) but I strung it out thinking I'd get the new line (G6) by April. By time they get the G6's on the shelves, I'll be thinking about waiting for their 2023 line, smh. Warrior is slowly losing me. I've been wearing the original X pants from 2016 and I just ordered the X3 pants. Not only did they inexplicitly jack the price up recently of the X3 pants, but they literally look crappier quality than the X1 pants. So I opted for the Bauer Elite pants instead, which, ironically, have better quality and are cheaper. That's a first in the Warrior vs Bauer world.

I know that Warrior is really struggling with supply chain stuff, at least per my local shop (and as seemingly evident, though maybe more nuanced).

ThatCarGuy Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Personally I think G6 is the first pad of many to come that slides too well. Sure it’ll be great on back door tips but any attempt to time a slide is going to be difficult or result in drastic oversliding. If you have to stop your slide with your skate you’re just opening up holes. Mach feels like a healthy balance in sliding to me. Plenty of slip when you need it but not too much to where you’re losing your positioning every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of slip when you need it but not too much to where you’re losing your positioning every time. It just requires a new style to control the slides. I've noticed myself using the toe box and front point of the steel of my skate a lot more when I need to slow down the slide. That way I don't open the ice at all. And I'm really just learning how to play goalie and will never be anything called good anymore being over 43 now. Sad but true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed one more thing I do without noticing it is I control my slide a lot with the dragging / kicking leg. That does open the backhand ice but that also happens somewhat with my narrow BF so it's a kind of lose-lose situation. I should start practising the weight movements while sliding to be able to change my movement to opposite direction. This is where too much speed is also bad, the momentum is heavy.

This would be a good video to work on cause even without the slide plates, for any brand pad, there is a time/situation to push hard and then one for a simple rotation and weight transfer, not to mention a simple pad shuffle. Leading with your stick and follow through with body control, glove/blocker activation...all important to help close up and take up space in your displacement. If I wasn't injured I would make a short video about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
