    No, we've tested new materials every year and from an R&D perspective there's no factual evidence that one material slides better than another. Anecdotally, some goalies believe i.e. weave slides better than regular but there's no data that proves it. So, we offer weave at custom for those goalies who prefer it but it would be disingenuous of us to put a new material on all stock sliding surfaces and say "It slides faster!" without being able to prove it.

    Toronto or Detroit works for that! Just a tid bit of padwrap and you're golden!

    We've always offered Toronto, Chicago & Detroit. As well as all white, all black and white/black.

    That, my friend, you'll have to wait a little longer to find out. If you look closely at the gear and think logically about what was changed from G4 to G5 you'll see it

    Warrior G5

    Post wedge has been removed. We designed a piece that covers the buckle on the outer calf wrap. Keeps the "look" of a Warrior pad too. Nylon strap at the knee is still there
  6. That's definitely an odd one.. I have not seen that before on any CR or V1 sticks.
  7. I'm not completely following what you're asking. Can you show a side by side of the Surrey stick and Monkey stick? It's possible your Monkey stick was what we would refer to as SMU (Special Make Up) aka a special colorway only offered at Monkey. The stick from Surrey is a stock stick with stock graphic/colors.
  8. No worries! I get pictures like the one you took sent to me a lot. I just like to set the record straight when I see it done that way. Every store lines their sticks up on a rack this way so I understand why it's the most natural assumption.
  9. @Puckstopper Not looking to cause a fuss but this is the worst way to gauge/measure paddle height. As others mentioned the lie is not taken into account. But more importantly, the blade patterns are different, toe shapes are different & lastly the blade lengths could be different. All factors would give an incorrect visual impression of paddle length when sticks are leaned up against a wall stick rack style. The best way is to lay the sticks flat on the floor and line up the heel/blade as best as possible. From there you'll not only see the difference in paddle length, but also get a better perspective on the lie and shoulder slopes.
  10. Thanks for the feedback! We are always in development of new constructions and performance benefits. Flex profile being one of those at the current time. I understand your comment about model names. The "+" is something we introduced in 2019 with the R/V1 sticks and also R/X2 Jock & Knee. As time goes on you'll begin to see it in other areas of our product offering. Once it becomes more common place I believe it will instinctively clear up some of the confusion. In a very general way, the V1 Pro, V1 SR+ and V1 SR are separated by $50 and are on average 50g less/more in weight than each other. The V1 Pro+ being an outlier because it's a LOT more than 50g lighter than the V1 Pro. Hope this helps!
  11. Hi Leo, 1. Our Bishop (TWT) pattern is closest to the P31 curve 2. From the standpoint of having an "open toe" the Mrazek (WDG) pattern would be most similar performance wise to the Rask. Very noticeable difference between Mrazek/Rask is that Mrazek has a rounded toe while Rask did not.

    Set looks awesome! I am a big fan of when goalies incorporate black or brown with classic tan & white. Nice job and thanks for choosing Warrior!
  13. Hmm.. If you could send me a few pictures (direct message - or in this thread would be fine) that would help. Turtling makes me think the adjustment would be in the neck/collar area. The broadness would make me think it's in the outer shoulder area. Pictures would help a lot to pinpoint it!
  14. @motowngoalie I'm glad to hear you're liking the new GT2 SR C/A so far. One suggestion I have is that you snug up the 4 elastic straps (elbow cap) on each side. You don't need to crank them down. Just a little bit will help get a more comfortable fit and help keep your elbow in the right spot as you start to sweat like crazy mid-game. @Max27 Sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with your current G4 Senior model C/A. Increasing protection was a MAJOR focus for us on the GT2 C/A series. I am confident you will not have that same issue should you move into a GT2 Senior. To be honest, I am a but surprised to hear you believe the G4 Senior is crazy bulky. Our C/A models are widely known for having exceptional mobility/functionality. Is there an area in particular you're thinking is too bulky? Chances are I could recommend some tweaks to the unit to help reduce the bulkiness you are experiencing.

    We get a lot of custom order images & it would be impossible to post every single one. Sometimes the images go up before a customer receives it. Other times it could be an image posted a few weeks after they received it. If you have received your order & still want to make sure your gear gets posted on WarriorGoalie IG - Just shoot a DM to the IG account and we'll get it put into our posting schedule!
  16. Not sure if you already have adjusted it or not, but keep in mind the Calf Wrap is adjustable on G4/GT2 now compared to GT1.
  17. Correct. G4 & GT2 have HyperComp in the thigh rise to add stability and stopping power to the 5-hole area.
  18. The G3 had a double internal break. Since G3, we have only produced single internal breaks. You should notice a significant improvement for thigh rise stopping power on GT, G4 or GT2.

    Hi Teezle, There's really no "single" answer to your question. It's more of a series of designs, efforts and developments linked together. One of the main things that changed for G4 was the AIRslide feature. Constructing this was no easy task. Coupled with the improved integration of the Knee Drive System on the G4 (& now GT2) series, there simply wasn't a way to include both new upgrades in a bindingless fashion. If you look closely at the GT2 knee binding, you'll see it's recessed whereas on G4 it was not. This gets the binding off the ice during slides which is a nice improvement. It's always our goal to improve the slidability of our gear. Design & development truly are extensive & continuous problem solving exercises. We're on a constant quest to advance our products. With slidability being a primary focus, you can expect to see a continuation of improved designs for years to come in this realm. Lastly, while there is a small bit of binding near the knee on G4 and GT2, you will be hard pressed to find anyone who would say these pads don't slide quicker and more consistently than our previous generations.
