Warrior Dolomite... High demand?

[ChiefHockey13 0]

Well I recently broke a stick so I went to my LHS to get a dolomite. They didn't have the pattern I wanted in 70 flex grip so they were going to order it for me. The next day they call me and say that Warrior can't get me a '07 or '08 dolomite until May or June. Is there a huge demand for them or something? I've had two other dolomites before and I've never had this problem.

Are warrior sticks shitty made like NHB?

Not true ops, no carbon inside, stickers tactile feel ... ?

[gxc999 7]

No, you can order them any number of places on the web. It's probably just a case of the numbers game where you live...

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?

First of all, I'm not a Warrior fan.

I despise them entirely!

But... what are you talking about "true" OPS ?

Which "true" OPS do you use?

AND>>> What does carbon have ANYTHING to do with a stick being constructed as a "true" OPS.

anyway?

There is a substance called GRAPHITE!

I've never heard of a first grader obtaining a PhD...

nor have I heard of a know it all obtaining a girlfriend.

Quit while you still have a chance Mr. Knowsitall.

or you will suffer indignant cruelty from the folks on this board, the likes of which, will make you pee yourself.

LHS calls/emails warrior.

warrior has a warehouse that you and other LHS take inventory from

if it's out from there your SOL. maybe the other warehouses have it but too bad for you.

We couldn't get any more freakin easton blades at where I work (syn2,ST, CNT) because the warehouse was out of them.

..... annnnnnnnnnddd

NBH sticks are the shit.

No the thing is that I bought a NHB 190 stick

-It's not a true OPS. It's several pieces stick togheter

-the shaft is not made of carbon (Except the blade)

-their "tactical feel" thing is just a sticker which goes off very quickly.

-The finishing is awful if you look all over the shaft you can see that the tactical feel stickers are not even well ajusted. They are not straight.

All of that for 169dollars

If I knew I would have choose something else.

But I don't know for the other brand. I think with CCM you have much for your money with their stick (true carbon, true OPS).

I like the look of the Warrior stick as well but I have no idea on the construction quality. Thatš why I ask.

I knew that all NHB gears in general have a very bad construction but now even for the stick it's a joke.

I love my dolo, It suits me perfectly.

Just letting you know, there aren't a lot of "true" OPS on the market. CCM is as guilty as NB of making a stick that isn't constructed from one entire piece. However, does it really matter if the stick is a True1? There really aren't any real performance benefits.

[TBLfan 25]

CCM sticks aren't true onepiece sticks and their graphics are also stickers.

Me too. For me it's the best stick I've used.

Please tell me that your coments are all a joke. BTW; What planet do you live on? Dumbass???

Thats the way that ALL op's are made. many layers of material going in different directions

I think he has the graphite confused with the Carbon Fibre tree that grows in Mexico. :P

[brettlynch11 0]

who cares about the graphics just being stickers. the performance of the stick doesnt go down if it doesnt look as 'pretty'

and by the time the sticks end up looking really beat up they usually brak anyway

[Hawes_4 0]

I swear if the graphics on my stick weren't stickers I would have made the NHL.

It's hell keeping up with the warranty replacements.

[yipperzz 28]

they're probably out of stock until the next seasons stuff come in. i tried getting some gear (non warrrior) around the same time the past 2 years (i don't know why but i always need it during spring) and my LHS is usually low on stock until they get next season stuff in.

i hope you know the entire stick is carbon. and its only shaft + blade, aka fused, the same as most OPS out there. the "tactile feel" isnt a sticker... its the little bumps on the shaft, and ive never heard anyone say that it comes off

There are almost no "true" one piece sticks. Those that are not "true" OPS are not made of several pieces, they're made of two, a shaft, and a blade...

I don't even know what you're getting at by saying their shaft is not made of carbon.

Pretty sure you mean "tactile", not "tactical".

Also, CCM OPS are not "true" OPS. Again, I have no idea what "true" carbon could even refer to. Maybe that's the kind of carbon that doesn't cheat on it's boyfriend when it's out of town. I don't know.

Considering Warrior sticks today are no different from the stuff Innovative came out with 15 years ago and yet alot of pros and people on this board still use them speaks volumes.

Not true ops, no carbon inside, stickers tactile feel ... ?

by your definition, and by some on the board, all ops today are not true ops. some consider the Busch to be the only 'true ops'
