Warrior Flex Question

[crazylegs_9 0]

I am thinking about picking up a warrior, and heard something about the flexes being a little whippier.for example, an 85 is a little whippier than a NBH 87. Is there anything to this? because i would dont want to end up buying it, and not liking the flex.

I use to use 100 Flex synergys before switching to Warrior where i still use a 100 Flex in the Dolomite. In my opinion id say the warrior has a hair bit more flex then the synergys. After a few games i got use to it and have loved it ever since. However its very hard to compare because every stick has its own flex characteristics so sticking close to what you use now will best fit you. A 100 Flex Easton Stealth, SL, ST, Dolomite, MacDaddy will all feel like they have a different flex from one another but in a broad sense their close.

there's no exact science to this, but i believe it's the opposite. my 75 flex warrior feels more like an 85 flex easton.

Does anyone know how tight the manufacturing tolerances are on the flexes anyways? The quality of the manufacturing will lead to a more exact estimation of the flex. Another industry with this issue is the golf industry. A driver may say 9.5 degrees of loft, but it will be off as say a 9 degree, as might the face angle as well.

Isn't this one of the main reasons that pro stock OPS have no warranty? Meaning, the manufacturer is going to select the sticks that are the closest to, or exactly the spec for a specific stick and use those as the ones the pros/college/junior kids get, as these guys are able to tell the minute differences in many cases. So, by getting these guys the lightest Synergy, they also have the least durable sticks. Thus, most likely to break. I would think this would have been the case especially when the OPS were not TRUE one piece constructions. By having two seperate pieces, you can control more exactly how precise the shaft and blade are to the player's desired specs.

I am sure there are plenty of folks here who remember all the stories about how incredibly picky Ray Bourque was with his SherWoods. Without knwoing numbers, I recall somewhere it was said RB would hand select possibly 2-3 sticks out of every dozen sherwood sent for his own use.
