McDougalfaschnitzer 32 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 The best part of the AK27 Pro are the graphics. :)I suggested at the MSH skate that they make a template for people to make custom graphics for the glove. :P I doubt it would happen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDougalfaschnitzer 32 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 When I asked at the MSH skate I was told it wouldn't be possible, but it seems like if they made the graphics for the glove, then there is some kind of guide for what goes where and they could reverse engineer a template for people to use.

Tailboard Jockey 25 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 I just ordered a pair of custom Hustler pants today. B)nice when they come in post some picsI will. There's nothing too crazy about them, though. They'll just be all navy, no stripes, plus 2" in length, black "W", silver outline around black "WARRIOR" on the top, and my name embroidered on the inside of the "six pack" protector.

steve66 45 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Miseaujeu: I think the presentation definately helps and its a shame that type of product presentation video isn't on the official site so you can actually get some detail and see the pads in action, especially with warrior being new to the pad market.I was also going to suggest that the youtube vid was actually a warmup for JR, but you kinda beat me to it.

JoeyJ0506 192 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 The Hustler protective line looks incredible. My mouth was slightly agape when I saw how bicep pad on the shoulder and elbow pads interlock. Cross checks to that exact area have landed my in the trainer's room before and after games more than once. It's a shame I just upgraded all my protective or I would be picking all the warrior line up this summer. Great job on the video and the product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though our current content is good for kids and taps on our image, these types of instructional PK's help our product's legitimacy for our dealers and educated consumers.We have been approached by numerous dealers since the video's posting and we'll be expanding on this type of product tech info more, maybe not on our site, but through dealer mediums and with the help of Hockey Player Mag.Thanks for the feedback.

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 I did like the video section on HG, even if some of them were just laughable. It's a great way to reach out and explain what that product description means.I'm not a fan of the design of the Warrior website, it's a little busy for my taste but the content is great. I bet there are plenty that love the design. The catalogue is what really captured my attention, I'm really interested in the new protection line... can't wait to see the product in person.
