P92/Naslund curve in Warrior?

[Blackthidot 0]

Does Warrior make a clone or anything close?

draper

The Draper's pretty close, although the one I looked at was a bit more open. The Robitaille curve is also close, but not as open. With the Draper you have the luxury of being able to get it in lies 4, 5, and 6 I think.

The Draper is more open from my experiences, and you can get it in lies 4-6. The Naslund is open, but not as much as the Draper. However I think the Draper is as close to Naslund as youre gonna get in warrior.

Yeah, and it really isnt all that close.

It's pretty close. The Draper is closer to the Sakic than the Naslund. The Naslund is more like the old TPS Nash or Mission Rafalski.

P92 is describe by bauer as mid-toe, where draper and sakic is a mid-curve.

I've got 3 of the new P92 Naslund curves on a One95 blade.. They do not seem to be close to a Sakic/Draper...or even a Nash, which is more of a longer, gradual curve.

on another note anyone notice a difference btw vapor and supreme line, 195 is realy nice with more curve at the toe if you have a chance grab a xxxx and 195 ops and put them side by side to compare you will see what i am talking about.

That's part of the variation that was discussed in the zetterberg thread. Different product lines tend to have slight variations with different materials, blade thicknesses and molds come into play.

Probably one of the reasons why I chose the One95 over the Vapor XXXX line. I do like that nice lil hook the P92 has on my One95 blade.

I bought 3 of them and put 2 on my RBK 10k shafts and another on a whippy One95 77 flext shaft. It is a lil more rigid than my old TPS whip XN10 shaft..So I like that.. It does not have so much give..

kinda OT, but I found that I prefer the Kovalchuk over the Draper/P92/Sakic, by far. It is closer than the P92 to a Shanahan-like blade, if that appeals to you.

[epstud74 24]

Yes..I've seen a few of the Kovalchuk blades around, but all are tapered and I've got standard Reebok 10k and One95 shfts. I've got an unused Easton Synergy II in 70 flex, but I might buy a Vapor XXXX shaft and put a Kovalchuk blade into it..

Although alot of people recognise the draper curve as being the warrior equivalent of the p92 naslund, if you check out a recent post in the show it off thread are member has posted a pick of a side by side comparison of the draper and gagne curves (p106 i think?) and they are VERY close. It looks like a slightly more closed draper curve, which surprised me because I have always thought of draper/p92 being the closest match but i think from these pics the draper may be closer to the gagne curve in NBH sticks.

P106 is more of a heel curve.
