    Semin pro is on the right in both pictures where the blades are side by side and it is on the bottom in both pics that show the rocker profile. Top two pics its compared to the Smyth and bottom two its compared to the Kremlin

    Gotcha! The blade on the Semin is huge! I want one! Looks like a solid in between of the Kremlin and the newer p92.

    Im sorry if this has been mentioned, but I cant read through 17 pages.

    What curve would you guys say is closest to a mid/toe curve that opens up?

    or

    what is closest to a pro semin curve? I never got to use a Smyth so im not sure if its the same.

    Do you have a pic of the Semin prostock? That might help.

    iirc, you used the harrow pattern 11 in the past, correct?

    can you comment on how comparable(if at all) that is to the versteeg curve?

    I have used the pattern 11 and these play completely different in my opinion. The toe curve on the pattern 11 is more like a kink where the toe on the Versteeg is rounded. I guess the way the pattern 11 bends at the toe is more like the bend at the heel of a p91a or drury. The Versteeg is more like the p92 or even a slightly more open gionta it is rounded through the curve. The heel section of the pattern 11 kinks at the heel as well. The pattern 11 to me was a heel curve and a toe kink. The Versteeg is one curve and it is beautiful! It is everything I like about the p92 plus a improved lie, rocker, toe section, and blade length.

    The heel section of the Versteeg to me is flat and straight. It then opens slightly mid section and the curve really stands out late mid through the toe. The length of the blade is longer as well and the rocker is much more usable than the pattern 11.

    I

    Where are these made? If they are Canadian made wouldn't they ship from Canada instead of Anaheim?

    Still say made in Mexico.

    Is the Versteeg as open as the P92?

    Not in the mid section. In person it is almost straight through the mid after a little heel kink then it opens up in the toe about the same if not a little more than the p92. The big difference is the extra toe curve that is later than the p92 and it has more of a neutral feeling in the mid section.

    And it is a longer blade as well. Plus the lower lie.

    Length is long I assume?

    What is the square handle and super grip like? Any retail sticks to compare too??? I considered both (ended up switching to traditional handles).

    Super grip is not as tacky as I feared. In fact it is a pretty awesome combination with the raised edge grip. The Square handle is not as thick as I expected. My AK27 shaft still feels thicker in my hands. But I think that is because the walls have no concave, the Dolo still does. Yes it is longer than standard. Just like a retail widow. I still pu about an inch on it. But I am 6'6 barefoot. I am very excited to use it tonight. Nice balance, and the sharksin blade sure is grippy! All in all I am very happy with this stick! It is hard to tell in the picture, but when you really look at the blade you see the toe kink at the very end.

    Looks great man. If I get a custom stick, I would probably go with very similar, if not the same, graphics.

    Thanks for taking a picture of the actual Versteeg pattern too! I've been wanting to see it for awhile.

    So was I! It was a little nerve wracking waiting for a curve I had not seen. Ended up more than pleased! Slightly different than the p92 which I have been using, but different in the right ways!

    Looks fantastic. Great choices.

    Did you do the rush order through Ice Warehouse?

    No. I did standard order. Less than a month. I guess I got lucky! Either that or it was quicker due to it being only one stick.

    A big THANK YOU to WARRIOR!

    Next up custom Pants!

    Next to a total one blade with a p92. The versteeg has less mid curve and a little more toe both curve and flair. The versteeg has a slightly lower lie which I love!

    Versteeg on its own!

    I set these up for the 17 inch monitor so I hope they are not too big.

    I just picked up my custom Dolomite at the LHS, and they're definitely ~63" from the factory. I play with a fairly long stick, and I'm probably going to end up cutting off 1.5-2" to match my other sticks (going to take it out for a spin in warmup tonight first though).

    Thank God! I was starting to worry I was going to have to learn how to play with an 80 flex if I had to add a plug.

    So I just got my new stick today. It seems like k24a2fast4ya has similar tastes. I figured I'd also include some of my previous purchases from the past month or two.

    Top row: 3x One95 P92's (blacked out by the previous owner), Eagle PPF's

    Middle Row: TotalOne P92 blade in One95 shaft

    Bottom Row: Mueller RS

    Your stick looks less open than the pic on the previous page. Probably just angle.

    Pulled the trigger on mine tonight... Went through IW and opted for the rush option. For $20/stick more - it was worth it to me...

    REALLY nervous about this! Warrior offers so many "close" options for me that it was real tough to make calls on almost every option....

    Product Summary

    Product Model : Dolomite

    Product Quantity : 3

    Paint Color : Black (was thinking of doing white, but it looks like Chadd's and JR's tapers are painted black, so it would have looked odd with an otherwise all-white stick)

    Decal - Middle : Warrior Black

    Name & Number Plate : KARP #55

    Name & Number Plate Color : White

    Shaft Finish : Grip

    Shaft Texture : Smooth (debating doing the diamond, but my current SE16 Pro Stocks are smooth so I wanted the same)

    Product Size : Senior

    Shaft Length : 56 (wish this could be longer!)

    Shaft Flex : 120

    Hand : Right

    Handles : Square (My biggest debate! Between this and the traditional, but am hoping the square is not super big)

    Lie : 4

    Pattern : Smyth (Using a Spezza Pro Stock right now which is a very unique curve. I went from the Kovalchuk Pro to the Spezza Pro though, so hopefully I can switch back!)

    Blade Finish : Shark Skin

    Went with a fairly basic design graphics wise... No decals other than the Warrior logo.

    I know you wish it was longer and so do I. But did you notice, it states that the shaft is 56 to the fuse point then 7 more inches to the heel equalling a 63 inch stick. SO it is 3 inches longer like the Widow according to the customizer. For me I will only need an inch or two added to that. I really hope they did not screw this number up on the customizer because I ordered my particular flex due to the extra 3 inches already being there.

    You know, there was just no appropriate topic for this story and it's humorous enough so far that I wanted to share it, so I'll just put it here.

    Drummer that I have been jamming with wasn't able to get together and practice this week because he is filling in with our (chick) bass player's old band. Confused yet? Anyway, my weekend schedule was called off due to the impending hurricane, so I texted and asked if they wanted to jam this weekend. He invited me to come see the show tonight, as the other guitar player is running sound for them and we can all get together. Well, the show is at a club that used to be called "the pink lizard". Yeah, it's one of those clubs. My wife is sick, so she doesn't want to leave the house. So it looks like I'm going in without backup. The plan is to get in early, talk to the guys and get out during the first set. Should be interesting.

    How did it go?
