OPS Warrior/Easton

[snipez96 4]

I was wondering if i would notice a significant difference in shot power accuracy. If i went from a Lie 5.5 - 4

I know there other variables to improve. What impact would it make if i went to a lower lie.

Would it be safe to say that Warrior and Easton have the same ratings for Lie? Or do they have their own ways of measuring?

no easton and warrior lies are not the same. warrior does their own thing.

I personally have :

Lie 4 Vanek patterned Johnson OPS

Lie 5 Kovalev patterned Mac Daddy Grip OPS

Alfredsson Pro stock custom Dolomite OPS

I can say that my vanek Johnson, people noticed that I definitely looked weird playing with it, because my toe end of the blade would drag and my heel was noticeably up off the ice. Lie 4 is generally meant for players who are into crouching a bit further to make quick dash plays and those that stay low in general. Being 5' 7" myself, I thought this lie would fit me perfectly but I guess I cut it a bit too short? (although I cut it right up to my upper lips/lower nose level). I had real hard time making the blade level on the ice and shots weren't coming off right.

As for my Mac daddy lie 5, it was pretty much perfect. So I guess it's all about your playing style and preference too, because I could not get used to playing with a lie 4 stick.
