t1tan 19 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Just got my Hustler Pants in the mail today. These things seem great, decent weight, solid padding and feel pretty nice and flexible. They do seem to run pretty big, normally medium in Bauer seems to just fit me, but I have a lot of room in these in medium, and the length was perfect without having to go custom. I'm definitely going to sell my One90 stuff late March and pick up the Hustler shin and elbows come April after seeing the product demo video posted earlier.

johnson_13 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 well i'm a proud new owner of the new ak27 shaft...i got mixed revies on the new ak blade so i stuck with what i knew and went with last years blade. i was using the johnson shaft with last years blade as well and got really used to the flex (95) i got the ak shaft in 100 flex and noticed a huuge stiffness difference...it was a lot stiffer than i thought...took some getting used to and definitely not getting the same whip in my slap but i dont use much slap shooting anyways...love the feel for the wristers and snap shots....but i'm torn between which stick i like better...gotta play with teh ak a few more times!johnson with ak27 bladeak27 with ak27 blade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

numberthirteen 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 I don't like that they've made the bottom of the new AK shaft silver. It means that blades won't match up into the shaft. I also hate looking down and seeing a light colored shaft.If i do end up getting one, the bottom will definitely be painted black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oreaopla 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 Anyone know if warrior is making an AK27 One Piece? My father gave me a game used pro stock he got from a friend who works at a pro arena in the area. It doesn't seem to be a shaft/blade combo but I can't find an AK27 OPS in the warrior catalog. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted March 1, 2009 Took a look at the new AK27 today. Man, it looks good in person. The grip on it is pretty odd but I thought polarfibre was pretty odd at first too... I think PF and this new grip would feel similar with gloves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe, although am not positive, that they are just dolomites with the ak graphics package on them. Pros only.The shop at the Kings' practice facility has a couple of Johnson and Modry AK27's from last year. Both of theirs are setup the same way - it looks like a standard shaft with a short extension piece at the bottom, with a tapered blade. If I remember correctly, the connections aren't even painted over or anything, it's pretty easy to see the extra piece between the shaft and blade.I guess these guys really did want the non-tapered shaft setup, they don't look like Dolos with a paintjob.
