    Warrior AK-27

    Item for Review: Warrior AK27 shaft 85 flex Background: 6’1, 175lbs Use: Indoor High School Roller hockey. On the rink 3-4 times a week. Blades used: Easton Z Carbon composite blade Sakic Curve. Easton Synergy ST 06 model, Heatley Curve. Weight and Balance: With the ST blade in the shaft the stick was extremely blade heavy. I do not mind a stick being a little blade heavy but this was too much for my likening. After about 2 weeks of use I took the ST blade out of the shaft and picked up an Easton Z Carbon blade. The Z carbon blade made this a great combo. The stick was now about 435 grams. Not crazy light like some of the top end OPS but it was good enough for me. 8/10 Shaft and Flex: This was my first time using a composite shaft. Before this I was using Sher-Wood 5030s. I picked up an 85 flex, this felt like a wet noodle my first time using this since my 5030s were stiffer. The whip that I got on this grew on me and it increased my wrist shot velocity. But after about 4-5 months of use the shaft loosened up. Now it feels more like an 80 flex than the 85. Not a big difference but it was still noticeable. 7/10 Stick handling/receiving passes: I do not think that the shaft really affected the way that I stick handled or received passes. But after I switched the blade to the Z carbon I was a little uncomfortable. When I had the ST blade I was using a Heatley curve, but with the Z carbon I have a Sakic curve. Took me a game or two to get used the open, and round toe but now I do not regret the change. As for the shaft it has served its purpose. No vibrations whatsoever with the shaft. I was able to stick handle through traffic with no problem but I do not think that the shaft had any thing to do with this. 9/10 Shooting: Shooting was the strength of this stick. I was able to get a ton of flex out of the shaft which gave me a lethal wrist shot. The shaft was also very responsive. All my passes went where I wanted them to go, and I was able to hit any spot on the net that I wanted. The only bad thing was my slap shot suffered because of the extreme whip that I got out of the shaft. When I was playing wing I loved the shaft because I was not using my slap shot as much but now under a new coach I am playing D and I am taking a lot of slap shots every game. My slap shot is still good with this stick but I believe that it is better with a stiffer stick which I am using now. 9/10 Durability: No complaints here. I am not extremely hard on sticks either. The shaft has held up through a summer season, and now into my fall season. I bought this shaft about a year ago and it is still going strong. Only issue was that a lot of the paint has chipped off the bottom of the shaft from being slashed and taking a few shots off it. But this thing is an absolute tank. 10/10 Intangibles: This shaft was very short; it is about 2 inches shorter than my ONE90, it is uncut and has its 3 inch extension plug in it. That was one of my few problems with this shaft. The other issue that I had with the shaft was the paint chipping. I know that the paint dose not affect performance but I though that the shaft looked real sharp when it was brand new but after about 3 months of use almost all of the black paint towards the bottom of the shaft was gone. I realize that this did not affect the performance at all but it was just some thing I noticed. 7/10 because of the short length Conclusion: This was my first composite shaft. I was using woodies my whole life until I received this as a gift. Now I will never go back to wood. This shaft was light weight compared to some of my old sticks but it is not as light as the old stealth or the mission fuel. This was a tank, after a year of use over about 150 skates with this shaft it is still intact, it is now my back up stick. This shaft helped my shot because of the whippy shaft, and it also has proven to be a warrior on the rink. I have blocked about 55 shots off the shaft, and it has been slashed countless times. After using the shaft for 5 or 6 months I made the decision to stick with the composite shaft and blade option. I am not completely sold on composite blades but I will never use a Wood shaft again unless Im playing on the pond or in an extreme situation. I paid $110 USD for this shaft and I feel that it was worth every penny. It did have some problems though, it was very short when I bought it, and it was 54 inches. After I inserted a blade it is about 58 inches. Still a little short for my preference but I learned to deal with it. The only other problem that I had with it was the paint on the stick. It chipped easily and dampened the look of the stick but it did not affect the performance of the stick at all. So in conclusion this is a solid shaft that is light weight and has great performance. But if you are a taller person I would recommend that you purchase a extension plug that is longer than the stock one. 42/60 = 70/100
  13. you go to be kidding
  14. Ones mans trash is another mans treasure Got this from a buddy who did not want it gloves in school colors twigs
  15. im confused. Reading about the stick on inlineware house the picture of the blade has the semi-circular rigides on the blade. But in the Nike Bauer catalogue it dose not have the ridges. So im assuming the nike bauer dumped the ridges?
