Good to hear. I bought aWarrior Abyss over summer and its amazing. Unlike you thought, i got the kiprusoff curve, which is the biggest they come in. So nice to consistently be able to toss sauce.

Warrior Swagger goalie stick
well I went to get my skates sharpened yesterday before my game at a local pro shop and had to wait for about 15 minutes for them so I decided to check out some gear, which is always a bad thing to do, same addage as dont go food shopping when your hungry. I have been planning on buying a new stick and was thinking about getting the new Simmons Pro lite stick which is comprable to theWarrior Swagger stick but for almost the price of one swagger you can get 2 simmons. I really liked the weight and feel of the swagger and I already have a 9950 that I like and I really dont need 2 more sticks and have a total of 3 sticks so I bought the Swagger which was on sale for $129.00 + taxes. I went home, taped it up and was going to just use it in the warmup and then use my 9950 for the game but I liked the feel, the control, the weight of the swagger and decided to use it for the whole game. I got a 26" with a heel curve so not a very aggresive curve, which I like, and handling the puck felt good. I took a few hard slap shots to the paddle and one to the shaft and I felt very little vibration, if at all in my hand.
Overall first impressions are excellent but we shall see how it preforms and lasts compared to my new great backup 9950 stick.

I used to have aWarrior Fortress and I loved it until some dick from the AHL took a slapshot that snapped the handle in half. Of course it wasn't the first shot I'd taken off the shaft so it wasn't a durability fault and the stick was already 3 months old at that point.

Would you prefer if I worded it so that I was in utter awe of the semi pro who had to take a slapshot from 10 feet in front of my crease on a beer league goalie who's never played above high school?
Ahhh come on Arth...you don't like those shots? Those are my favorites...just blast out in their "backswing" and they just bury it into your belly.
sadistic as it sounds I like those shots.
If I had better equipment I might enjoy them. Typically though it results in a welt of some sorts that lasts 2-3 weeks. So no, I don't like them. Yet another reason I dislike Reebok.
6k chesty?
"Soccer players pretend they're hurt, Hockey players pretend they're not."
I have the RBK Pro Spec chesty, and I agree with arth, anyone with a decent shot usually results in some sort of feeling somewhere, but lucky for me I am not that good, so I usually do not end up in front of the puck! hahaha
On the Stick topic though, I was about to buy the Swagger but opted for the 9950 Extra Thin as I was given a better deal on it.... So far I like the stick but do you really likeWarrior sticks.
