Vaughn V3 Knee Pads Review These pads are very similar to the Vaughn 7460 Knee Pads and Vaughn 1000 Knee pads. When I got these they were considered the pro mode, now they are considered the senior model. I have … Continue reading Vaughn V3 Knee Pads Review
Initial Thoughts: I decided to get this jock after looking at the Bauer Pro jock, Simmons Air Bladder jock, and Vaughn Double Cup (can’t remember the model). The Warrior seemed to have more features and to cover more area than the Bauer. I felt the Vaughn and Simmons lacking in quality of materials, they both felt well made but cheap in what they were constructed with. I also really liked the velcro strap attachment system the Warrior has, as previously I couldn’t get the straps tight enough or to stay tight, with this system I have no worries. The … Continue reading Warrior Ritual Goalie Jock Review
This is a review for an older model Warrior Swagger. The current models are very similar in construction with different paint schemes. I have made a review video for this stick as well, but it also has the other sticks I have reviewed in it. I feel it helps give more detail behind the sticks being reviewed. Blade: Mid-Heel curve, Medium depth with open face angle. 14 Lie. Blade feels extremely strong and sturdy without any wear spots so far and no chips from pucks either. 10/10 Shaft/Flex: By far the stiffest of the sticks reviewed in this thread. … Continue reading Warrior Swagger Goalie Stick Review
This review is for the Torspo Surge 421 Foam Core goalie stick. I compare these a lot to the Simmons Pro Series 6 sticks I did in another review as they are very similar in construction and performance. I also have a video made for all of the sticks I have reviewed so far. It includes: Simmons Pro Series 6, Torspo Surge 421, Warrior Swagger Emery Curve. I believe it will help show the pros and cons of each stick and will give a little more insight to just the written review. Blade: I couldn’t find any details about … Continue reading Torspo Surge 421 Goalie Stick Review
Here is a review of the Simmons Pro Series 6 goalie stick. These are the “older” model, the current model name of these sticks are Simmons PS9970 DA 35 and Simmons PS9970 BU 30 Goalie Stick respectively. Since these sticks are identical but the blade I figured I’d make a combined review here. I also have a video made for all of the sticks I have reviewed so far. It includes: Simmons Pro Series 6, Torspo Surge 421, Warrior Swagger Emery Curve. Blade: I have used 2 different blade patterns with these sticks: Turco- Mid curve. Lie unknown. Miller- … Continue reading Simmons Pro Series 6 Goalie Stick Review
