Glad I didn’t pull the trigger on these, I’ve been waiting to see if they were durable. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼 -
Anyone got some experience with the twig? Thoughts compared to other twigs?

Yeah, I bought a QREdge from HSM, turned out to be a T4QR, mid kick Dressed as a QRE

Stick History: Warrior QREdge, Warrior Alpha DX, True A6.0 Sbp, True XC9 Acf, Warrior HD1, Warrior QRL, Warrior Alpha QX, Bauer Vapor 1x, Bauer Supreme MX3, Easton Stealth CX, Easton Synergy HTX, Easton Mako 2 Stick Info: Warrior Fantom QRE – W03 Curve, 75 Flex Height: Uncut Weight: 360G (approx.) Grip: Yes Usage: On and off for the last 5 months I was super excited to get my hands on Warrior hockey’s response to the Bauer Vapor ADV series, being, I’ll admit, a Warrior fan boy. Blade (4/10): With this being an insanely light weight stick, I did not expect this blade to be the most responsive or greatest feeling. And as expected, it is not. I found that I was forcing myself to use the stick for a couple games before finally getting comfortable with the blade. But once I got used to it, I found it to be not that bad, but yet not that good either. Again, to be expected with a stick at this weight. Even though this stick is crazy light, the blade is very stiff and did not torque out when shooting. Shaft/Flex (7/10): One thing I find with Warrior sticks in general is that their sticks made in China play stiffer when compared to the sticks made in Mexico. The Fantom QRE is made in China. I got the 75 flex and it feels slightly stiffer than other 75 flex sticks, but still softer than 80 flex sticks I have tried in the past. The Fantom QRE has a traditional shaft shape, which is what I prefer, with a not too tacky grip coating with the Edge Taper for quick release. Shooting (9/10): The Fantom definitely gets the puck off quickly thanks to the Edge Taper. I find this stick to shoot similarly to the QREdge, but with a little less feedback. Overall, I really do enjoy shooting with this stick and never seem to miss the target more than I usually do. Stickhandling/receiving passes (7/10): This one is tricky. I am no NHL player or better than your average beer leaguer and I do tend to have my head down when I try my dipsy do’s. For stick handling, I like this stick since it’s super light and easy to maneuver. I find my stick handling to be slightly faster, but it might be some placebo effect from how light the stick feels. When it comes to passing, that’s another story. I found the Fantom QRE does not have the most feedback when it comes to passing and found myself missing the target until getting used to it. Receiving passes was also a learning curve as I would miss receiving passes in the first few games, but again after getting used to the lightweight stick I would not miss as much. Main point here, it is definitely a stick that you must get used to at first. Weight/Balance (10/10): Well, at 360 grams the Fantom is incredibly light. The balance is excellent and not blade heavy at all. Warrior did a fantastic job. Durability (8/10): This is my second Fantom QRE. The first one got a clapper at point blank. Honestly, I do not think any stick would have survived. Warrior replaced it no problems. The second Fantom QRE has had no durability issues. I’ve been slashed and hacked multiple times and even deflected some shots off the shaft with no cracks or breakages. The blade has held up great and has not lost its stiffness. I do believe the Fantom QRE is a tough cookie. Also, Warrior backs it up for 90 days. Conclusion: (7.5/10) The Fantom QRE is a fun stick. After a few games to get used to how insanely light it is, the Fantom QRE is a very useable stick that provides great shooting. However, I always find myself going back to the QREdge over the Fantom after a frustrating game where I would usually give another stick another game or so. For the big price tag of 400$ CAD or 320$ USD, I would personally shoot for the regular QREdge before forking out a wad of cash for the Fantom. Although, I do very much so enjoy how light it plays in hands and the 90 Day warranty is appealing and reassuring.

Warrior QRE10 now using the Sabre Taper?
iameric replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
You sure it was a true QRE10? Did it have big checkered carbon pattern similar to the Fantom? I’ve see a few pictures of them and they all had the big checkered pattern with an Edge taper -
T8 = Sabre Taper D2X = Extra stiff DX build blade
-
Looks like a straight Edge taper with an extra edge on the top from what I can see
-
I’ve noticed when the top tier stick gets a replacement they make a run on the last gen in china and they go on sale. This happened for the QRL as well as the QX
-
Better feel, more pop. Was not a fan of the qx what so ever. Found the QX to be soft, when you passed the puck or battled in corners the thing would fold, atleast mine did. The grip also came off of mine on the corners. When it comes to the DX I find it shoots much better, loving the blade feel and seems to be a much sturdier stick overall. I’ve only used it three games so far but definitely a better stick in my opinion
-
I got one, definitely lighter than the Edge. Grip is nice, good pop, shoots similarly to the Edge. One thing I will say is that it’s been three games with it and I’m still unsure about the feel. Definitely not used to it yet. Solid stick, took many hacks throughout the three games it does have under it’s belt and holding up nicely
-
Don’t know how I feel about that. Always found the china sticks played stiffer
-
The QREdge is made in Mexico, the QRE SL is made in china, maybe that why
-
From the rumors I’ve been hearing, it will be a limited release QREdge, weighing at 360g with no pre orders
-
I’m assuming it’s because they are closer to the factories in china? Just a guess
-
Hope they do not have the same price as the ADV stick 🤞🏼

Qredge pants are a tighter fit than the vapor 1x pants I find, I have both, vapors are amazing pants but feel a little looser

Stick History: True A6.0 Sbp, True XC9 Acf, Warrior HD1, Warrior QRL, Warrior Alpha QX, Bauer Vapor 1x, Bauer Supreme MX3, Easton Stealth CX, Easton Synergy HTX, Easton Mako 2 Stick Info: A6.0 SBP (Gen 1) -TC2 75 Flex Height: Cut 1 Inch Weight: 415g (apprx) Grip: Yes Usage: 1 year Blade (4.5/10): The A6.0 Sbp Features a Stiff Blade thanks to the “Braided Rib Technology”. This blade is awesome… when its not cracked. When I first started playing with the A6.0 SBP first thing I noticed was how stiff and responsive the blade was. After playing a few games I noticed when retaping it that there were small cracks forming along side the face of the blade, thinking nothing of it I kept playing with it. After a few more games I noticed the blade lost its stiffness and the cracks were getting worse. Thanks to True Hockeys awesome customer service, they gladly warrantied the stick and sent me a replacement. After using the warranty stick, I have noticed the same thing happening, blade lost its stiffness and has formed small cracks Shaft/Flex (9/10): The shaft is a square with concave sidewalls with a mid/variable kickpoint. I Personally found this shaft/kick points to be one of the best that I have used in a very long time.The grip on the A6.0 Sbp is a nice soft grip, not too tacky yet not too slippery, a nice in between. The square shaft has a very nice feel to it when holding it and you have complete control over any movement. The flex that I used is a 75 flex, for me personally this was a perfect flex. It stayed consistant and predictable when passing, shooting and handling the puck. Not too soft and not too stiff, played true to the 75 flex rating. Shooting (10/10): This is where the A6.0 Sbp really shines. Shooting with this stick is a dream. I found that when you wanted a quick wrist shot the puck came off quickly and crisply and when you were taking a slapshot from the point, you could really get a huge shot out. Shooting with the A6.0 sbp was easy and flawless. Best shooting all around stick that I have played with so far. Stickhandling/receiving passes (8/10): When stick handling I personally prefer a lively blade, and the A6.0 sbp is exactly that. Thanks to again, the brt tech, the blade of the A6.0 sbp is very responsive and crisp. When stickhandling I had no issues with knowing where the puck is on my blade which gave me a lot of confidence when attempting to deke opponents. When it comes to sending out saucers or receiving them, the saucers had sauce and when receiving, the stuck like glue BUT that is before my sticks ended up softening up on the blades. Once they do I find them to be too soft and have less control over the puck. Weight/Balance (10/10): This thing is light. Seriously. Yes there are lighter sticks out there on the market but the way true hockey balanced out the A6.0 sbp makes it, what I find, to be the perfectly balanced stick. Too light, feels like you have nothing in your hands, I personally do not like that. On the other side of the coin there is too heavy, where you find that your silky mitts have anchors on them slowing you down. Thanks to true hockey and their Axenic Technology the A6.0 sbp is a true one piece stick and it feels great in the hands. Durability (3/10): The blade was definitely the weak point with the A6.0 spb. I was on the market to look for a reliable top end stick that would last me all year with no problems and figured I would try something new with true hockey. I was certainly disappointed when the first stick had developed cracks along the blade faces but when I received a replacement stick under warranty and the exact same thing happened within the two to three weeks of play, I was thoroughly disappointed. Conclusion: (7.5/10) The True A6.0 sbp is nothing short of amazing, loved playing with it. When its fresh off the stick rack, nothing else can compare. Shooting with it is spectacular, you can shoot any shot in any situation with the utmost confidence. The stick is super light and has a very great feel in the hands with the square shaft. The only downfall is the blade. Yes when is fresh off the rack its great, but after some use that’s when it goes down hill. Yes every stick will eventually soften up and “whip out” as the kids these days say but when two sticks both have the same cracks along the blade and the blade just goes flaccid on you after a few weeks, not a good time. Even with this flaw I still think the pros outweigh the cons. I just cant get over how awesome this stick performs overall, just seemed to fit every situation perfectly. Now True hockey has released a second generation of A6.0 sbp sticks with some tweaking to the blade with the new BRT+ so I’ll have to go out and and see how it performs to its predecessor.
