My little Warrior Rant.

[wickedwrister 0]

My 9 year-old has broken his Dolomite blade (2 months) and I have broken mine too. Both started along the bottom of the face. Best feeling tappered blade I have had, but am not buying another one right now.

no torquing, and I use Sakic easton and MIA custom curve AKA Kovalev PRO RH. I'll probably have some custom easton blade done in the next month. I use a pretty short stick and I like my stick to be stiff I would like to try a 110 flex but they don't make them. I put a lot of weight/pressure on my sticks.

You tried the AK27 mack, is that what you mean?

Absolutely not, I tried their hoodie. Their best product by far.

Yes, but you add absolutely nothing to any discussion when you post.

"so what a real sweatshirt/hoodie"? What do you think, genius?

[EBondo 242]

I was waiting for someone to say that. I was getting fed up with jon93's posts, but didn't want to say something. But back on topic, I got an Easton ST 06 version to replace my L-2, and from one use, I couldn't tell a difference between the two, except for the shaft being more boxy and thicker and it being a 65 flex. Hopefully the durability is better.

[flaming_june 2]

if you have ne dolomite sticks broken at the blade i'd like to take the shaft off your hands to make into taper shafts.  please let me know if anyone's interested.

what flex?

im looking for pref 85 or 100

For a second there, I thought this was a rant on your "little warrior".

How about this... I help out with equipment on our local junior team, and one of our vets had a Dolomite, used it last week in the game and broke it. So they sent it back, and this week he wanted the MacDaddy, so we got it for him, and last night was the first game he used it, and another clean break.

So thats two BRAND NEW sticks in two games.

where on the stick did it break?

The dolomite broke in half and the MacDaddy broke about 6 inches above the fuse point.

Mac Daddy's aren't fused there true one pieces, I have one and they may look like they're fused, but in actuality, they're not.

well, not to be a jerk... but these things kinda happen when anything is mass-produced.

their flip flops look lame... you would figure with the retro 70's theme they go with on their sticks.. then they put out hippie sandals.

i bought 2 dolomite blades when i bought my dolomite shaft.  i have had no problem with either, and they have been amazing knock on wood.

Same here, except I am still on my first blade (Fedo). It's held up amazingly well.

me 2, i meant i hadnt had a problem with the blade or the shaft

i like my dolomite except for the fact that its not the flex advertised on the shaft 

yeah, same. i got the 75 flex, but really should've just got the int 70 flex.

but it's been holding up good for me so far. knock on wood. 

Is the 75 flex a narrower shaft than the 85 or 100?

Sweet, thanks.

[LkptTiger 1]

No. Same dimentions.

Only if its an intermediate.

Not a rant, but just an update. Broke another MackDaddy blade. Not a crack on the bottom, this time the blade broke in the middle.

This sounds a lot like the old XXXlite/ Easton SL arguements..

You are going to have to sacrifice quality if you want the light weight good feeling blades.

[stick9 905]

Hmm, my Warrior Starskie is a tank. Getting close to a year old and still going strong.

I thought MacDaddy's were Inno True1's?

I've always been under the impression that the 75 was exclusively a Sr. flex, while the only Intermediate flex was/is a 70...Not that it really matters to me, but are there 75 flex Intermediate Warrior sticks/shafts floating around?

stick: The Mac Daddy is, essentially, an Inno True-1.

All I have to say is that the power of marketing always amazes me.......

You were under the right impression. Warrior doesn't make a 75 flex intermediate. Only a 75 flex senior stick. Intermediate flex is indeed 70.

I agree with you there. I do wonder how many people bought Warrior's because they were Inno users. That's what got me to look at and buy one.
