Dolomite Spyne

Warrior is their own worst enemy. Like a junkie, they need to be saved from themselves.

Question is, are they arrogant enough to put that spyne-o-crap blade on every Warrior stick?

If they did that their whole retail line would jump $50 higher. If any stick stayed the same price they would have no justification for charging such a premium for the Kronik. Unless they assume the bulk of their customers don't know what the hell they're buying (which might be true).

A lot of consumers think the more expensive something is, the better it must be.

It's got to be driven by kids. Adults look at prices pretty intently. There are only three guys on my team who spent more than $100 on a stick. Most go and grab the cheapest ones they can find. And when playing open hockey, only a couple people of the 25 or so that show up are using sticks over $100.

I'd be interested to know the sales of junior and intermediate sticks compared to senior in price point versus top end sticks.

Anyways, I hope they at least continue making regular Dolomite blades as they're my favorite retail blades. Might pick up a Dolo intermediate shaft too since the whippy senior pro stocks are all gone.

So has anyone heard what the real deal is on the sticks in the picture. I also curious as to how many or if any pro/semipro players actually still use a Novious stick with Warrior graphics. I figure they still make Polarfibre available so why not Novious.
