RichMan Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 @coopaloop1234 I think the calf landing is thinner, as opposed to say the GT line and thus, the pillow/lift would be necessary IMO. I like the idea of the shorter boot guard, less stuff in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMan Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 @coopaloop1234 bro, that looks like a Bauer. I meant the GT vs the G6 and/or G7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only using the photo as it had the most direct head on view of the thickness of the calf landing. Compared to the picture of Jeremy smith's G7's, there's not a lot of difference. Here's my G5's - No difference . Here's @ThatCarGuy's G6's, I don't think there's been any major changes to the calf landing area for a long while now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 2 hours ago, coopaloop1234 said: Question is, is that the default leg channel? Or is Warrior still going to offer multiple customization options? I'd like to see the pad in person before I come to a conclusion on my opinion, I can't say the change looks bad. The question is why is Warrior abandoning their leg channel? I'm guessing it has a lot to do with Pro feedback. A lot of the guys overseas are using the short and narrow styled leg channel on the G6 so Warrior may have adopted a similar set up as "stock". As always I'll be interested in seeing what Warrior puts out, but I'm not sure if I'll love it like the G5 or G6. #bringbacktheRGT Considering Smith opted for the default calf wrap options last season I'm betting thats going to be the standard. From my understanding a lot of guys found the 360 calf wrap restricting when worn tight I'm glad to see this calf wrap option is somewhere in between the previous long and short options. Short exposes the ankle and long is too restrictive with the rigid foam wraps. Watching video of smith playing, the new calf wrap moves a lot like a more traditional wrap that isn't only made of super rigid foams. Kind of disappointed to see the sling wrap straps go because they had the perfect amount of stretch to be worn super tight without being uncomfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I'm glad to see this calf wrap option is somewhere in between the previous long and short options. Short exposes the ankle and long is too restrictive with the rigid foam wraps. One of the reasons I wasn't a fan of the G6 when I saw it. The change in foams/rigidity to the 360 wrap was something I found restrictive and not inductive of playing well like they used to have things set up. The G4/RGT2/G5 leg channels are probably where their system shined the most. Quote Watching video of smith playing, the new calf wrap moves a lot like a more traditional wrap that isn't only made of super rigid foams. So like everyone else than. Which now brings in the question: What does Warrior provide that others don't? I always like how they differentiated themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which now brings in the question: What does Warrior provide that others don't? I always like how they differentiated themselves. My favorite feature on warrior pads has always been the nylon knee cradle. Rotates so much better than anything else, doesn't under rotate from your knee gripping too close to the back of the pad, and you never fall off the block because of the sling wrap knee. Now with companies moving towards a flat boot channel warrior is one of the few (so far) to keep it even if it is subtle which I love because it helps center my pads and allows less thigh rise interference. And with G6 the shin pillow makes the pad feel almost more connected than my EF5s. However I think I've said it here before but I have no idea where, at this point every manufacturer has a very very similar leg pad. In most cases the deciding factor is the glove and warrior is still one of the best. 3 minutes ago, froese said: You'd think they could at least open up the back and snap a pic of the strapping. but I agree, looks like CCM did that custom for him. Judging by the fact is has a wrist strap I'm betting it's just normal 580 strapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Supreme is used by almost all their pro goalies, and the vapor is very popular at retail. The vapor 90 has done extremely well at custom but not enough to dethrone one of their flagship models. If you want a stock 580 you’ll have to go ccm or wait for the vaughn or brians copycats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to chat with a Bauer custom rep who said the vapor 90 will be the stock break for vapor moving forward in 25.

I think it'll be very good to have two companies trying to push the technology/design in that department.
