Warrior Dolomite... High demand?

[big_bt 0]

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 don't know what you mean when you say several pieces. The stick is pretty much blade and shaft. Do you mean the little rubber plug at the end of the stick?

Maybe he's pissed the shaft is not one long singular graphite fibre, wtf is up with all these little peices held together by resins? :P

The fact that the Dolo/1100 has been is production so long you would think keeping up with warranty replacements wouldn't be a problem.

I LOVE my Dolo shafts.

Hi

This come from icewarehouse.com about the 190 ops

One-piece Carbon Fiber composite design

I know what is carbon. But here in those kind of products to be good (=to be very stiff/strong/durable and light) the carbon has be indeed like a "mesh" (so carbon FIBERS indeed which are "hugged") exactly like the blade. It look like this :

The shaft is made of "dust of carbon" what you call porbably "graphite" which is low quality carbon and can't be put into fibers that's why it is compressed and doesn't look like the blades (where you can see the "hugged fibers"). Because of that if you look at the shaft (without the tactile sticker and so on) you will see that it is uniforme gray. You can see by yourself that there's no real carbon fibers when you cut the stick.

I'm sorry I miss some english words but it's similar to the outsoles of skate. High end models have true carbon fibers composition (when your outsoles's skate are all fucked up you can see the true fibers) whereas lower end it's just graphite or composited outsole which cheaper, less stiff than carbon fibers.

True one-piece design

Ok we agree that there's at less 2 pieces. So it's not a true OPS and basta.

But I think even the shaft is made of several pieces you can see some sutures (same as the one between shaft and blade) all over the shaft. If you look at broken 190 ops you will see that they are broken according to those areas where you find exactly thoses sutures.

It's not because only Busch and graf sticks are the only real true OPS on the market that it's acceptable.

Tactile Textured Grip - Scale marks add texture for

It's stickers, players who have the stick will tell you. And it goes off like hell.

I'll try to take some photos of mine.

Nevertheless, I'm very happy with the stick, it performs very great. But I paid 160 dollars for some features that are not present or which are not as well built as they said.

Now if you guys are ok to pay what some people win in a week for some bullshit marketing stuff why not.

PS : Chill out guys, take easy. Everyone has the right to say what he thinks about his gears even if you not agree. Let's debate, no need for bad words :)

Who can argue with such scientific investigation?

"It look like this to me so I know I right."

[Cavs019 710]

There is not a single one piece on the market that has a weave like that up the entire length of the shaft.

are we gonna go into the whole driven by marketing argument again?

Give him a break dude, I don't think he's from the US or Canada so it's kinda normal that his english isn't as awesome as yours.

This whole thing has gone way off topic anyway.

If your counting checkerboard weave, the XXXX goes up the whole shaft

[Cavs019 710]

Checkerboard weave is not the weave we're talking about here.

I wasn't mocking his language so much as his logic.

The tactile grip is not a sticker on the One90. it is a seperate layer of material that wraps around the entire shaft of the stick... And yes the One90 is a true one piece... shaft and blade are made in one mold at the same time

When did they change the process? That's not how they were made from the start.

The one90 stick is made very similar to other composites. The blade construction is very different than the shaft, true. The stick is very well made and it certainly has as much carbon as the rest of the field. The shaft is not pure fibreglass, otherwise it would weigh a ton. Based on my experience repairing them, they are of very good quality construction. I can really tell the quality difference simply by the resistance of the chop saw. When cutting a Warrior for example, the saw goes thru like butter.
