the heel on the Price is more rocker rounded vs wedge making the lie feel lower.price pattern u can go longer then the warrior bc of that.

the twist is more flat on the bottom of the blade.

no 27.5 warrior is not 26 ccm in all cases.

if u change the shoulder paddle pattern it will be diff on where u hold it 

AND

if the blade is flat vs rocker or semi rocker the connection to the ice and how where it is position is diff.

which also ties into the lie to an extent of the rocker shape.

so no dont make an assumption.

its as dumb as people asking what skate sharpness they have when they have all diff skill levels and diff ice temp and rockers profile on their blades.

of stupid people saying i need +1" thigh vs +2"thighrise on 2 diff brands and models at the retail level,  and diff years.

i use mountain carabiners from home depot and hook them from the pant to the inside underside of chest where the 2 loops are has a green elastic , the other half of elatic ties down the back with a knot and a twist.

Would love to see a post or video comparing the thickness of an nhl ccm or bauer chest to retail models. Sadly I sold my AB18 otherwise I’d do it

higher grade foam and better material. its going to be thinner or the same. rest is aftermarket modification and eqm hacks and modifications

profile the skates and adjust sharpenign accordingliy

yea the will

always wait for 2nd generation to come out

just add a small knob on the shaft and hold it there.

the grip is whatever.  the stick lie, shape of  blade, flex is more important,  no pro can give crap about new marketing hype. rather stick to what already works. new material yes, not new features.  

technically speaking majority of pros have short paddle ( paddle is 3.5" wide)  the part where u hold the paddle is not the paddle if under 3.5, its the handle,

brobosky may have a 24" paddle per say or 23 , but measureing from where joint meets shaft is another 4 " or so , the stick might say 28" but he holds the paddle not which should not count as part of measurement in determine length.

also the shape of the blade is more important  which will change the feel of and mobility of hold the sticks and leaving holes

yup u need it, had a blade broke once, got it changed mid game with a time out.  also the sharpeners here are brutal.

the professor strap was just the old upper calf strap that mfg took out bc all the kidos thought less straps make u cooler.   use the heel stap and pull the pad back.  and no it doesnt affect pad size.  

get on a training program that include high interval training that is a high level summary. the rest is sleep, diet and proper training programming.  There is no shortcut magic day of routine to do.  its a life style for better health overall.

2 hip pads cover the top and bottom of the break,,  there is a picture on facebook goalie equipment modification site, search warrior d3o and it should pop up,

grab a hip d3o  pad and throw it in the glove, very easy to do, 5 min max.  ebay or old pants with that foam

that was the knee not the calf.  

its not the knee pads , its the leg pads,  u r not supposed to buy pads with all the knee calf junk in the first place and if u do u cut that all out and throw it in the trash.  

even warrior has diff dept for goalie stick.  the retail custom one made overseas  the one the pros uses are made in mexico.

pros dont change models every year, they want consistency not some marketing gimmicks to buy newest sticks.

Large bit that hasn't been discussed is that Warrior has only really been prevalent in the last few years. That traction has yet to have carried up from youth goalies wearing it - many goalies will stick to what's familiar especially is they have success and comfort with what they're used to - CCM, Bauer, Vaughn. 

 

IT HAS not carried up bc it requires major sponsorship at the different leagues lik USHL, college and jother jr leagues, they all have relationships in place and the team sponsonsorship or school sponshonship prob offers the school big discounts for bulk orders.  .

order the vaughn with custom sizing not stock sizing

Out of curiosity, why are True pads and the CCM Axis pads sized bigger than normal .....

u cant pleased everyone, bc everyone has diff proportions just like sometime u fit in a med shirt and sometime u fit in a small or large.  best is to get it custom made sizing.

6'0 and using 26" CCMs Premier 2.9s. Height feels good, but I'm always looking to experiment with shorter. Is there any economical way to do this? For some reason all my goalie buddies use 27", even though I'm taller than them haha.

double slope the paddle.

if u were a member and now cant get on, it can mean u also got ban hammer without a notification

its not brands  pros are loyal too  , its people and relationships.   

The pro  custom warriors are diff from the retail warriors, the only thing same is the name,  china is retail, mexico is pro custom.  The specs are whatever the pro wants.

I wouldn't  use it to compare it to other sticks for references
