start_today 781 Report post Posted October 16, 2020 What’s going on with the blade on the Ballistik? Was that design on the blade, or something you added? that whole pic is such an awesome snapshot of sticks that were popular at a specific time. For a while everyone really fetishized the one95 and CNT, would be interesting if one could somehow compare them to modern offerings. But it’s all so subjective it would be a wash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
epstud74 24 Report post Posted October 16, 2020 That’s a Ballistik shaft with a Warrior blade on it w/o tape. I’ve got a one piece Ballistik downstairs somewhere. That CNT might be my oldest stick in that photo. I do have a couple Northland Crack Shots that belonged to my dad and a couple old Sherwood wooden sticks with the Coffey pattern Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adam14 182 Report post Posted November 11, 2020 Every now and then a piece comes along that peaks my interest. Warrior Franchise 14N made for Robidas and the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Digital Palms, mesh gussets and sick thumb badge. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The franchise, luxe, even AX1 were such solid nice gloves. I’ll never ever give up my franchise 13Ns. Only gloves I’ll even consider repalming. the new lines arent good. I tried QRL and I was so disappointed. I heard the alpha aren’t great either. That’s why I’ve switched to CCM pro stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cavs019 710 Report post Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) The shift to overseas production is part of it but doesn’t tell the whole story. I’ve owned a few pairs of overseas retail Bonafide X and overseas pro stock gloves built to Franchise (dressed as an AX1) or QR1 specs and they’re way nicer than the newer models. The real question is why on earth did they ditch the blooming MIA/Franchise cuff for whatever they decided to put on the AX1/QX/DX. It’s the #1 reason why the glove doesn’t feel nearly as good as the older model and I’d be curious as to what data/feedback/focus group suggested that was a good idea.

Not a huge fan of the QRL’s or Alpha. They need to go back to the MIA days. The franchise gloves were amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
