Warrior Weight

Recommended Posts

Does anybody know how the Warrior Weight compares to the NBH P106?

Currently rocking the Easton Forsberg, would like a little more open blade. I tried out the Weight in the same lie but I don't really like it. Now considering trying out the P106. They appear to be similar based on their specs listed...if they are clones, then I guess I should save my money.

P106 is very different than the Warrior Weight. Compared to the Forsberg, a P106 has a deeper curve that starts more toward the heel and continues curve throught the whole blade length. The P106 is much more open, and has much more of a rocker in addition to being a slightly higher overall lie than the Forsberg.

If you want something similar to a Forsberg, but a bit more open, a Sherwood Spezza may fit the bill.

how is the Weight very different from the P106? I read that they are both moderate heel curves with an open face and both a 5 lie.

what exactly does it mean when a blade has a rocker?

Think of the Weight as a more mild Sakic. Slightly less loft, slightly less curve, slightly less rocker.

Rocker is how much curve is on the bottom of the blade. A Sakic or P88 has a very big rocker while Modano has much less. More rocker puts less of the blade on the ice at any one time, meaning you can use it even if the lie isn't quite right. A blade with a purely flat rocker has to be the right lie or it will be very hard to use.
