E28 vs W28 blade comparison

[OrrSmith 4]

I haven't seen a W28 Yakupov pattern on a Warrior yet. Is it close to the E28 or is there a slight difference?

"Close" and "slight difference" mean pretty much the same thing. I haven't used an E28 in a while but I believe Warrior has said it is pretty much identical.

Yes, I realized my wording after posting it. The reason that I am wondering about the comparison is that I noticed Warrior is coming out with the Yakupov pattern all the way down to their junior stick with the QR1. My kids like the E28 but I have been holding out on the HTX as the Easton V9 split too easily on the heel.

It's real close. W28 is a little more tame, not quite as big a hook.

I'd go with the QR1 - used it a few weeks already and performs absolutely great.

I have both, the Easton is SLIGHTLY more open at the toe and the blades are shaped a little different in the toe. I'm sure most people won't notice a difference, they're extremely close. I can easily go back and forth between the two with no noticeable adjustment.

Hiw about the warrior Chara? My kid uses the Chara curve and I swear it was almost the exact same as the E28???

That's a p14 from bauer clone. toes are shaped differently and i feel the toews is slightly more mid-ish

Plus less of a rocker as the e28
