warrior draper

[topshelf11 0]

I think the recchi is more of a 5.25, but that's going on the easton iginla(5.5) being the standard.

There really needs to be a standard form of measurement for lie. I mean as in the angle from the staft to the exact (bottom) middle part of the blade. As well as there being a LR(large rocker), MR(mid rocker) or SM(small rocker).

I like my Synergy Iginla. What Warrior blade is most similar is lie and curve?

Check out the Robitaille. 5 lie, mid curve, closed face.

so that 5 lie is pretty similar to the Iginla 5.5?

i have a theory, i think that warrior uses the same lie as ccm and sherwood, just a number down. the sherwood coffey and ccm recchi are both 5.5 and the same lie. eastons 5.5 is almost a 6 on the sherwood/easton scale. warrior to me seems about a full number down, but not easton. on an easton scale i would say that the warrior lie is 1.35-ish down from. so the warrior weight (4.5) is the same as a recchi or coffey (5.5). warrior stuff wont line up with eastons exactly. the warrior 5 would be very close to a ccm/sherwood 6 -which is very slightly higher than easton's 5.5. just a theory - clear as mud even to me.

Wow, I'm glad to read this thread. I thought I've been going crazy.

I have been using a Warrior Dolo Jovo pattern for the past couple of weeks, which is labeled as a 5, and there is no way in hell that it is. Finally, I compared to my CCM V8 Doan pattern, which is also supposed to be a 5, and the Jovo looked more like a 6 or even higher. It's actually a very uncomfortable lie for me to use. I know it sounds odd, but it's true.

FWIW, some guy at Warrior (sounded very young) claims the Iginla is like their Weight. That seemed odd since in their catalogue the Weight is listed as Open and the Iginla is closed. They also said their lie system is a full 1 number lower than Eastons.

Can anyone confirm the difference between the Weight and the Iginla in curve and lie?

The Weight is nothing like the Iginla, IMHO.

Here's a picture of the Weight Dolomite I had and sold.

Pretty straight and open compared to the Iggy.

Here are some Robitaille and Sundin pattern pics.

I just came back from my LHS. They did not have a Weight, but they did have the Roby. I compared it to the Iggy and the lies were very, very close. Almost within my measurement error. The curve was deeper on the Roby, but other than that - they were very similar.

Given that - I can't see how the Weight would be similar.

I picked up the Draper after using the CCM Recchi... easy transition for me...

Are the ccm Recchi and the Warrior Draper curves very similar? From what i gather they are, however the Draper has a very slightly more open face.

This thread confused me alot, but with Warriors new availability of blades in different lies, what number lie Draper would i need to get to match the lie exactly of a ccm recchi?

[deadmanjolt 1]

The Recchi is closer to the Bauer Lindros. The Draper is a Sakic clone like the CCM Lemieux

[kovalchuk71 212]

Just a heads up, the Lemieux is not a clone. It is very similar, but has more heel. Just letting you know :)

With all the differences in standards of lies, what lie would i need to get in a warrior curve (draper) to have the same lie as a ccm recchi (5/5.5)? I realise that in the 06 model the lie is the same between the curves, but with the options of the 07 models in terms of lies, which one will match?

I can't see them in comparison before i order so any input would be great. Thanks

you don't have to ask twice. if nobody's answered yet, that usually means nobody knows for sure.

What I can tell you is that last year's Draper was listed as a 5 in the catalog, but was equivalent to a 5.5 easton. I believe the Recchi is a 5 lie.

The Federov pattern in 4 lie is close to an Easton 5 (ever so slightly lower)

Sorry i just thought it had been overlooked because my other question had been answered. Thank you very much anyway for your feedback, I assume that the lies havent changed within warrior between last year and this year, so a warrior 5 lie would be what i'm after. Thanks again.

brought back an old thread for a question. has anyone used the "6" lie for the draper or fedorov? im personally more concerned with the draper but hopefully they are the same (never know with warrior). If anyone has used the draper 6 how does it compare to the old yerman easton 6 (which seemed more like a 7, but i digress). i ve used the fed "5", and it seemed pretty close to a easton 5.5 or old school 6. Just wondered if anyone had actually gotten one of these, or accidentally got one thinking warrior lies were actually normal.

thanks, any ideas/thoughts appreciated - im using higher lies these days and would prefer to hear some opinions prior to blowing 60 bucks to have a new one shipped to me. the yzerman was a bit too steep for me, especially with that ugly squarish toe, was thinking the rounded draper even if that steep might be doable.

My theory:

Warrior 4 = Easton 5

Warrior 5 = Easton 5.5

Warrior 6 = Easton 6
