No other brand other than bauer offers a max hight blade at the retail level as of yet. the tc2.5 is a tc2 but with a lie of 5

I have a old hd1 dressed as qr1 Pacioretty pro stock, its definatly not a hybrid of the P92 and P28, more of a heel curved version of the P92. I am sure he has change his curve since.

I’ve had mine now for a couple of games, love it. Boa system is very nice and gives a nice comfortable fit

Alright, So I figured I'd give a little update on the QREdge. I think I have found the perfect stick for me. I love the way this thing shoots. The Edge Taper actually works wonders when shooting the puck. I find this stick to not be too whippy nor too stiff, I find it true to it's flex rating and has not been softening up like other sticks I've used before. Shooting with the QREdge is nothing short of magical. I find the QREdge very easy to use at its fullest potential. Since day one, I've noticed that the QREdge has lots of pop and, to this day, she's still got it. I still cannot get over how nicely balanced the QREdge is. It never feels jarring when playing, as everything seems to go smoothly with handling the puck. It still has an excellent feel to the blade and hasn't dampened. I've been using this stick exclusively since the day I got it. From multiple game use getting and giving whacks and hacks, I can safely say the QREdge just keeps going without skipping a beat. Now that its been a little while over the "warranty period", I think it would be fair to give it a judgement on its durability, and to that, I have to admit it's pretty damn good. Yes, its got some nicks to the paint job and scratches here and there, but that is inevitable. The grip coating is proving to be strong and so is the stick its self. It still shoots at the same calibre as it did the first time I used it. Would I recommend this stick to anyone? Well, after a month and a half of playing with the QREdge, and having teammates, and one opponent try it out with them having nothing but great things to say, I would definitively recommend this stick. I even had a few offer to pay full pop for it before it came out, but I couldn't let go of this perfect stick. I will keep using the QREdge for the foreseeable future and let you know how it holds to the test of time.

The qr edge coming out next month has a nice stiff blade with a ton of pop, try giving that a try

First off I’d like to thank JR and Warrior hockey for allowing me to be a Warrior VIP for the Covert QrEdge. That being said, lets get to the nitty gritty Warrior Covert QR Edge Stick - 75 Flex - W03 Backstrom - Two weeks usage in pickup games and mid level men’s league Lets start off with the first impressions upon opening the box, fresh from warrior HQ in Michigan. Woah! This thing is one cool looking stick! With the beautiful exposed carbon fibers, the asymmetrical design, and the subtle yet loud design. This has got to be one of the best-looking hockey sticks I’ve come across. Now does it perform as good as it looks? I like to believe so, so far. Have you ever played with a Qrl? Wished it were lighter and better balanced? Had more consistency when shooting and was able to take a decent slapshot when needed? I know I did. Well I’ve got great news for you! So far, after a couple weeks of using the new QrEdge, it fills all these missed marks and still keeps that wonderful quick release of the Qrl. The first thing I noticed when stepping on the ice with the Qr Edge is how light in the hands it feels. Not stupid light, just right thanks to Warriors new Minimus Carbon 1200. Stick handling was awesome because it still has that great responsive stiff blade found in the Qrl. The QrEdge has a square shaft geometry with a nice coat of grip. I’ve noticed Warrior has gone with a slightly textured grip on the top corners and sides of the shaft leaving the bottom of the shaft without any texture. Now lets talk about that Edge taper. A cool looking taper Warrior has designed to help magnify power and quick release. Warrior has done a great job outlining the Edge taper lines with the popping oranges in the design. The first few shot felt a little odd, but once I found that sweet spot again, woah, watch out! The shots came off quick and hard! Even when taking a slap shot, the puck came off stronger than its predecessor. I also found that with the new Edge taper, the QrEdge has a more predictable and accurate shot. After 7 or 8 games using the stick, its still has that excellent “pop” from the first game and still generates power. Best low kick stick so far. Durability? Well, I think it’s a little soon to tell for that one. It has held up great so far by taking whacks and hacks without diminishing any performance so far. Here are some cool pictures for your viewing pleasure...

I find the QR Edge lighter and better balanced compared to the qrl. Also notice the qr edge is more predictable and accurate compared to the qrl

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.
