Warrior Covert QR Goal Stick Review — Everything Goalies Need To Know

Like, normally, I have to hold sticks up. I feel like almost like maybe this is just because I watched Project Hail Mary last night, but, like, like, gravity. This thing's so light that I'm actually having to hold it down counter. And it's pretty. And it performs. And it's covert. We had a name change.

The rest I'm gonna leave to you. This this

is a Oh, wow. Thanks.

Little holograms. Like, look. I don't know if the camera is capturing that, but, like, this thing is this thing is gorgeous. It's light. It's okay. Okay. I already said that. Yeah.

Yeah. Welcome back to the Hockey Shop Source for Sports. I'm Kevin. He's Cam. We've got the new Warrior Covert stick line. Three different models, probably shifting materials and weights.

Three different weights. I've got

the top end one. Oh, mid kick. Like, walk me through. Walk me through. I'm gonna let Cam I'm gonna let him talk now, folks.

You hold those. I will hold these. That's actually not really nice too for mid price. Settle down. K. Starting off with the Covert, the high end stick in particular, we now see that beautiful chrome styled graphic. Really, really like the finishing on this stick.

It is beautiful. Really, really, really pops. Again, weight was something that Kevin already pointed out three times. It's super light. So for a fourth time, now we will talk about the weight of the stick, which is super light.

And guess what? We're not gonna tell you the grams this time because we're gonna let you guys guess below, but it's definitely under six. Is it under five seventy? Is it five sixty? Is it five fifty?

Comment below. That's it. That's his that's his way of saying he hasn't weighed it. That's fine. Twist curve.

K. P 31. Standard curve. We've seen this across pretty much all brands. Flex stick.

So let's talk about the mid kick profile of this guy. So they still have that same cutout they kinda introduced with the M Series. Right. This is kind of a a build off that M Series. Correct. So we're still getting that more of that flex and pop to the stick as opposed more flexible Yes. Through kinda in here. Yes.

In the in middle of the actual Yeah. Panel of the the kick. It's a it's a mid flex, but it's kinda got a low kick. Yes. Mid flex, low kick.

That's my experience. We have one at home. We've been playing with it. I can't handle the puck for crap, but I still notice the flex.

So mid kick? Mid flex, low kick.

Mid flex, low kick. Flex is your kicks on the bottom. I'm gonna kick you. ASG Shaft, they introduced this a little while ago on their I series specifically. And, man, is it ever it's a game changer from breakage standpoint.

Like, no we've had no breakage in the models we tested last year. A lot of reps, a lot of through all the different price points, and it's like, there's just no corners to hit up top there. So pucks that get over top of your blocker, there's no corners to sort of get chipped and cracked and break. I like it as a playability standpoint. Just being able to slot that glove in exactly where that cutout is kind of designed so you can get that more torque behind your shot.

It's fantastic. Just feels good holding it in that glove. It's like you don't have this chunky, you know, shaft in the way. Next. Price points.

These are the these are the cheaper ones. QR 50, QR 10. So QR 50. The top one's just called the QR, folks.

QR 50, still customizable too as well. But We didn't get to the customization stuff. Yes. You can customize this as well. Mostly just colors or can we do things with You get more of a round shape. You get a couple options for curves if I believe off the top of my head and colors. Okay. And once again, this is customizable too. Exactly.

This is the price point that I've currently been using, to be honest. I really like the feel of this. This has been perfect for, you know, my beer league and everything like that. Not noticing a major difference between this and say, like an RTL in terms of overall performance and playability wise. I'm using, for example, this price point.

Still has the the different the cutout on the back.

Yeah. So you notice that flex.

And you still get the ASG shaft and everything like that. So you're still getting a lot of those same pro features. It is slightly heavier. Noticeable. Yep. Because they're using different materials. That's how you save money on the lower price point stick because they've used different materials. I we find in a lot of brands, they're even more durable at that range. The lower you can be. Depends. Okay. Hesitation from Cameron. No. Not necessarily on, like it's just all brands. All brands. QR 10? K. Same kind of thing. Just drop a price point.

Get a

Don't have that exposed carbon that you can see. So they're minimus carbon that they're using all the way throughout their price points. So you can see the different weaves until we get to the QR 10. But this is less than half the price Correct. Of the QR. So you're really getting into significant reduction in price and you still get The ASG shaft? The ASG shaft, which Cameron loves.

Yes. And I quite like. It's taken me a little while. It it it's a different feel.

Yes. Takes a little while to get used to it. Some people might wonder why we haven't seen pro adoption. That's because of the pro sticks that like, because of all the custom options on the pro sticks, they don't have it set up in the factory to make it with the ASG yet. But I'm willing to bet as soon as NHL guys start trying this, you're gonna see a lot more of it. Although they don't really have to worry about durability like we do. There you go.

Cover. Not just for players anymore. And if they got questions about customizing and ordering, where can they get you? (604) 589-8299 or 1805677790. Nice.

Or at the hockeyshop.com. Nice. So nice that I didn't even high stick them in this one. That doesn't happen in a stick episode. Time to covertly exit.
