  1. @WONGER have you put in for a set yet?
  2. Seems to me the Rorschach test is working nicely.
  3. I won't disagree with you on anything you're saying as it can all be valid. Though, that's still omitting the biggest question mark from the OP's post about the bungees being so tight thst his toes were pointed upwards when in the butterfly. That shit has me perplexed and is clearly getting everyone else just as confused. Doesn't help that dude makes a first post and then dissapears immediately. Clearly this is Dudo's burner account and he's come to spread more slander about bungees.
  4. Yea, down to the calf. With different strapping you can tighten it up, but it will be looser. After doing that for the first time, I could never go back to behind the knee due to the freedom. Definitely fits in with my desire for my gear to not feel impeding.
  5. Couldn't tell you what it is the cause, but I was landing just low of center on the G6. I was dead on on my rgt2. FTK is 19.5" which is middle of the 33" range. So my take is that they run larger, but not by a long shot. If you're on the cusp of a size, go down for safe measure
  6. Cam and I are pen pals and have sleepovers. Just email the goal department and you'll likely get him responding.
  7. Got to try on some G7's. They run a tad bigger than previous warrior, so if you're on the cusp, sizing down my be good. But I'm definitely a 33". Gloves are nearly identical to the G6. Cuff area has been modified a bit, but mostly the same. Pads are good. Stock set is still very stiff, but the break at the knee was needed. I'm sure it would soften up a bit, but I'm tempted to go to a soft knee break instead of the stock medium. Boot is more flexible. Not Hyperlite soft, but close. The change from the hard outer flap back to a more inset, softer flap (like past lines) was way nicer. The new professor strap version is nicer in it's simplicity. Does the same job. The calf strap is alright. I like the simpler design and adjustability. There's two slots in the calf wrap to make it go tighter if you want too. Calf pillow is fucking beefy. Thicker than the Hyperlite 1. It's easily removable though, so you can either remove it or modify it. Aside from that, I can't think of too much else that's changed. They're all welcome changes and comparing it beside a G6 really hammered home what I didn't like about the G6. I still don't know if I prefer either blocker, they're both fine but feels cumbersome after using the Mach for so long.
  8. I don't tuck or put suspenders over my C/A. The purpose of it is the freedom of movement and not being locked in. It's done to get the exact opposite feeling you're after. There's no real resetting of the unit to get it back in place, it does it on it's own. I've tucked twice, didn't like it. I've also just tied down my C/A to my pants, didn't like it either. Felt like I lost a lot of freedom of movement that comes with twisting at the torso as once you connect the two portions, you remove the independent movements that come with not tucking/tying. I really hate the feeling of any of my gear counteracting or impeding my movements. I don't tuck, I wear slimmer pants, I don't use gloves with wrist straps or large cuffs, and I strap behind my knee. I want everything to act on it's own.
  9. 19.5" puts me dead center in the 33" range. 19.25"-19.75". 33" Warrior pads have historically been spot on for me and I'm also in a 33" (small) Bauer Ultrasonic right now that are supposed to run taller than the Vapour line too. I have this feeling that I actually should be in a 33" and not size down. But we'll see.
  10. I'm nothing but a big hater for Lefebvre gear, mainly gloves, but even my ccm premier 2.9 catcher (senior, offshore) glove was easy enough to break in correctly and to have very little issue bringing it into a game. I saying that, it was still one of the worst gloves I've had for break in time and effort needed, but, it was still pretty benign in the overall picture
  11. So safe to say who knows?
  12. The chart that's on the customizer for the G7 is identical to the one previously used for their other pads. https://www.thegoalnet.com/forums/topic/2702-warrior-sizing/ Here's a thread from 2019. The sizing chart on that is the same specs as the one currently live in the G7 customizer. I've fired off an email to Cam at the Hockey Shop to get a better idea of potential sizing issues between the chart and reality. There seems to be some conflicting information lol.
  13. Found TGN's alternate account, no wonder I'm confused, there's no binding there. Well I haven't had any issues there myself nor seen or heard too many stories of other people's issues either. I'd ask @ThatCarGuy as he's probably the Warrior user here that puts it through the most work, but I don't think he's ever mentioned any issues on his G6. So yes?
  14. So qualify for men's league, but not beer league. USA drinking laws are weird.
  15. Are you old enough to qualify for men's league?
  16. The Bauer pads/blocker and Warrior catcher combo is a mighty fine one. No bias here.
  17. I still can't figure out which area you're referring to lol. The only durability issue I had with my GT sets was the blocker face on my GT1 Senior cracking near the end of my time with it. My GT2 set was already on order. My GT2 set faced better shooters and more ice time. So take this information however you will.
  18. CCM Vaughn Bauer/True Warrior Brians. That's usually the popularity ladder I see at Beer league games. This also differs depending on the divisions I'll play. Higher divs will see an influx of Bauer and True pads. Lower divs will see more Vaughn and Warrior.
  19. https://www.thegoalnet.com/forums/topic/7492-fs-warrior-gt2-pro-set-3315/ I'd be curious to see what binding you guys are referring to. This was my GT2 set after 2.5 years of beer league (2-3x a week). My GT set was about the same too. The binding on the backhand of the G6 isn't too different either, but I still never saw that as an issue.
  20. I wear size Large as well. I'd take them off your hands if shipping isn't too rough. Where are you located?
  21. There's some baselayers that have cup inserts and velcro tabs. So they'll accomplish essentially what I think you're after. I know my Oneric has a jock insert. Man, it's too bad they went out of business, I really liked their shit.
