Nohtaram Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Not sure if someone already posted anything of next gen Warrior line. Spoted some pictures posted by some Czech Hockey Shop (pre orders so far- they didn't posted prices). Looks like Warrior discontinue ridge desing on slideing surface. Other than that I don't see much difference. As usual - I'm not so keen on the graphics - G6 looks better IMO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Interesting to see them abandon the internal flap and just make the sling wrap calf strap have velcro on both sides so the knee strap can just go over it. Probably cheaper and easier than making the internal flap removable for people who don't want to use the sling wrap calf strap. Considering how I wear my knee strap on g6 I'll probably remove the sling wrap strap on g7 because the new style lower calf strap does what my sling wrap does now Love the texturing on the graphic. It's also worth noting that pro is replacing the e+ line not pro+ Overall a very promising looking set imo Edited December 3, 2023 by ThatCarGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IpaddyTECH Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I noticed the calf pillow too. That would be nice as I had to make one for my warriors. Is that upper calf strap their take on a Rotation control/professor strap? That would also be nice as I had to add one of those too haha.

Looks like it was removed and modified to what you see now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the inner flap for both my knee and upper calf straps on G6 but I can see how the inner flap would be annoying for those who don't use the upper calf strap at all.

RichMan Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 The knee block does look massive!! I like the new calf strapping approach. If the elastic gets too stretched out or the velcro gets too fuzzy, you buy new elastics and voila. If the velcro on my GT2s gets messy, I gotta get a full custom repair job done. Then there's always special mod ideas that come to mind. I wish they would modify the outer knee wing. It doesn't give the clearance or movement that I want. Working on that project for my GT2s. The graphic is odd but hopefully we get a customizer up and running real soon so we can mess around with it and see what can be done.

coopaloop1234 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 A little bit of insight as to why the switch away from the large Triangle flap that's been around since the G3. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMan Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It's too bad they didn't put out a classic run in their SR category. The graphics are kinda lost with the pattern they chose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeperton Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Notable stick things in the PDF: The M series is confirmed from what I was told of going to having the asymmetric shaft as the default The sizing now has 24" in the senior size with the note of (industry standard sizing), so I'm guessing that the 24" is what used to be the 25" I'll try to get this confirmed from Warrior (likely by calling them There's a typo of "loading" as "laoding" for the V series sticks lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kub29 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I was a little iffy on removing the inner velcro flap for the pseudo-professor strap but I noticed they brought the outer wrap more inside. Though I do feel it loses a bit of the charm/uniqueness with going away from the triangle calf strap and the stretchy fabric knee strap. I wonder if the calf pillow is removable and can be added to the G6s <_< 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I think Warrior may have stopped taking custom orders until G7 is released. The G6 customizer has been completely removed from their site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL42 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Did the g6 have that awful below knee break? I Know the g4 did and make u land on the top of the block when in the down position. the g5 was the retail pricepoint model was fine for the first year and half then the break got soft and had the same problem.

Stock G6 had the stiff/medium one piece core option which meant no break but still a little flexible below the knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious, because I love my Warrior blocker. I want to make sure I can get pads that will make the rebounds fly off them once my UltraSonics wear down completely.
