I wish these were longer

[@paulrabil]

Vibes

[@dylanchek3085]

Paul Rabil so does his mean your using the warp now or sticking with mesh? Just wondering.

[@aidantodd2321]

Paul Rabil hey! How are you doing?

[@pat_modoono]

Paul Rabil I'm just saying I wish you could be a little nicer to fans it has personally affected me I was outside Harvard stadium at a cannons game one season when you were injured a group of boys came up to you and asked for an autograph they were all between about 7-12 and your assistant or girlfriend or some woman that you were with said no Paul can't and then you didn't even make eye contact and walked towards the locker room

[@aidantodd2321]

WH1T3B0YH4ZSW4G, Paul is a great guy! I've met him a few times and each time he has been kind and an awesome guy to be around. I understand how that would be disappointing but he had just broken his foot and he said in "The Move" that he wasn't sure if he would be able to play again which is hard enough without having to sign autographs to kids.

[@jamessomero6866]

yeah totally I saw u at the all Star game Paul while u were leaving and u didn't acknowledge me or my friends existence walked on by didn't make eye contact ... And it's easy to see ur a great guy but if u want to grow the game you gotta acknowledge the fans. and the all Stars of tomorrow

[@Pureoneoutdoors]

Got here a little late but my 5 year old is using the junior evo and he is loving it. As a college football player I didn't get a chance to play lacrosse but I am learning as my son goes through it. He loves the game and we have become big Paul fans. Keep doing big things Paul and we hope to see you in Richmond VA for the PLL league!

[@JFMURPHY77]

It's great to see the behind the scenes aspect of the company that you are involved with and how your input affects future product development. I can't wait to see the next installment

[@zachcrouse5450]

Amazing, great to hear about the Warp, history of Warrior, and Lacrosse products

[@paulrabil]

Thank you!

[@yeti9331]

Now that Paul Rabil says he likes the warp everyone is going to say it's the best head ever.

[@paulrabil]

Eric Hammond, hey man. I'm just trying to play the best I can 👊🏼

[@andrewbrown7976]

I believe you just got shut down.

[@MaconCoolShit]

NoHope7 He's helping develop it, not advertising it. He might use it once they've developed one to his liking. Think.

[@MaconCoolShit]

Where besides these videos has he been pushing the warp so hard? Plenty of Warrior athletes have been using them in the MLL and NLL, so they do get used in games. It's not Paul's creation, it's Warrior's he's helping with the development, they want his input because he's one of the best in the game. Input and changing to that are two different things.

[@heathholland9071]

Paul Rabil I don’t want to sound desperate but your my favorite player and I just wanted to say hey

[@trentsumers8936]

Was hesitant about the warp at first but now it is looking really good. Great work Paul!

[@paulrabil]

Thanks, Trent!

[@jh4rryy]

Awesome video. One of my favorites you guys have made.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

All that I can say is WOW!

[@timothymathioudakis7321]

I wish these were like 10 mins+ and I want him to make a lot more of these

[@paulrabil]

Thanks -- we'll pass this along to Warrior :)

[@SLVTitle]

Glad to see they're putting a lot more thought into the warp design

[@paulrabil]

NE Auto, thanks brother.

[@christophercranston162]

I'm starting to respect the warp a bit more. It's come a long ways.

[@paulrabil]

Christopher Cranston, me too. Honestly.

[@notyetperfect6769]

how does the hold compare to a traditional pocket?

[@peterhuntington4029]

Christopher Cranston yep, the warp everyone hates was the early model I think(not sure) I got to use my coache's warp it's good but I'll stick to mesh

[@nplax4539]

The complete sticks head is a little wide in my opinion

[@heathholland9071]

I hate it it has no whip

[@ethanmate1508]

Paul will u possibly come to jenison and play some lax when the Thompson brothers come around for camp this summer

[@alexk8488]

this is cool good job

[@oldchannel1052]

Man guess what tommorow I'm buying my first lacrosse stick you've inspired me and I started playing today using my friends stick

[@lukedemarco3420]

What's the song at the very end of the video, I need some good music for my videos

[@ezekiellomax9664]

What's the song used at the end?

[@extremmania101]

Damn the quality of this vid is amazing.. #respect

[@paulrabil]

Thank you!

[@tonibardong8150]

Paul I really hope u see this ur videos are awesome and really help me also I have that original warrior shaft that u showed

[@aidandavis2726]

I love you Paul you got me into lax Your a big inspiration

[@declanboyle2122]

How bout a warp like defense head

[@5arrows860]

Shout out to the Allegany Arrows

[@ryandavis1480]

I literally was 10 minutes away from the facility I wish I could have met you guys

[@nplax4539]

Would it be possible to get the head and mesh on the warp dyed to bring some costomization back where most people believe the warp is taking it away?

[@JuliusKskater]

Great Work !!

[@ElvatedScott]

Good work boys!

[@jacobsiekmann426]

What song is playing during the shooting session?

[@ajayvarma2762]

That warp on a d-pole at 4:52

[@MrNel-qw7ns]

is there going to be a froward 3?

[@shattovlogs9983]

When will the part 2 gonna come out????

[@skyboundlacrosse3960]

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the warp practically ECD's vortex mesh except permanently sewed to the stick?

[@CodyStranger]

Alright Paul, make the Warp and Evo Pro's affordable now! (In CDN $) #MakeLacrosseGreatAgain

[@paulrabil]

RiderNation2k15, adding this to my ticket.

[@JackHawkin5]

If the warps price point became low enough, it would become THE perfect beginner stick. So many new players in teams where equipment isn't a luxury have to struggle with old sticks and heads that are poor quality, often strung badly or worn out.

[@swaggercomander10gamer90]

wat song was used

[@wyattchristensen4990]

I think they should make warps in different heads

[@robbywitwer1628]

🌴🌴my kind of paradise

[@MattGustafson]

You should tell Dave to send me a Noz 2

[@footballtime5474]

Wow. Couple things. Never knew that's how metal shafts were invented. And I wish these were longer. Also, i wish Paul didn't use the warp and just sticks with his mesh. And, what's gonna happen to the Rabil head?

[@paulrabil]

All great comments. Let's wait and see :)

[@owenkissinger9969]

Awesome!

[@Ahop-nb1mk]

What warp was he shooting with

[@paulrabil]

Hopkinslax00, super secret.

[@thenukeman3657]

Does the mll require gloves while playing or nah?

[@evanfielding5951]

When is forward part 3

[@chasekennedy4470]

I love you guys

[@jacklaxin674]

Will there be a rabil 3

[@paulrabil]

Jack Baylin, stay tuned.

[@shieldslacrosse7384]

Paul didnt u and ken clausen have beef back in The Move series?

[@paulrabil]

Yes. Part of the game. Like any relationship, going through the lows can often build something strong.

[@lukehackett7296]

I'm gonna get the warp

[@gianniarnone2467]

Song please

[@elvirakemp2224]

Warrior Warp goalie stick? Would it work?

[@ginaotis3820]

How did you come up with the name forward

[@cross9932]

I go to his school, the brand name comes from the name of our school the brother rice warriors, we’ve won the Michigan state championship 15 times in a row and ranked 30 in the nation

[@jaythewolfman1366]

When does all that gear drop?

[@charliehurst8275]

i love UVA

[@JackOlsonLacrosse]

Rabil 2 head warp mesh stuff

[@haydenhundley9193]

bring the idea of making a warp for defense

[@paulrabil]

Love that. Kyle Hartzell already uses one -- and scores a lot with it.

[@user-nw2xq6bg5r]

What kind of player is the current warp recommended for?

[@paulrabil]

All shapes and sizes.

[@bizzy853]

haha hey Paul, Dave Morrows son is on my lax team

[@Skreeze_Nuts]

Brody Fisher then what's his name and then Paul will ask ask dave

[@henrydetolla7592]

my dad has one of those shafts!

[@andrewbrown7976]

Why don't they make pure titanium handles anymore. The ones I have from literally 20 years ago are thinner walled and haven't broken. The new ones seem .....different.

[@paulrabil]

Hmm...good question. I think pure titanium is heavier and players like lighter handles. The current handle is probably a blend, maybe less strong (as you mentioned), but overall a better product.

[@andrewbrown7976]

Paul Rabil if you have the time...can you run that by the originator of titanium handles, Mr Morrow.

[@taggm4476]

Can you use warps in games

[@detox402]

Do you feel if this warp becomes mainstream and accepted, that traditional mesh will become obsolete?

[@paulrabil]

No. There will always be a place for trad and mesh. Always.

[@Skreeze_Nuts]

Can I have the pattern for your mesh stick?

[@itsriceking]

"the warp just adds to this variety." please show me how a fully manufactured head and stick adds variety to the game. color?

[@paulrabil]

Warp is a new sku, thus adding to the variety of offerings on shelf.

[@itsriceking]

I can see that, but do you think the market is in danger of being overrun by manufactured heads and stringing set ups? I hope not - I really enjoy the aspect where everybody's stick throws differently - it adds a unique element to the sport in my opinion.

[@ftemp3705]

they should make a warp goalie stick, because my goalie stick isn't doing it for me

[@paulrabil]

Scott Rodgers should help with this.

[@dyllanholt9796]

do a video on how to break ankels

[@jschmittgen]

so these titanium sticks are basically like the Gatorade of lacrosse

[@borat3856]

David is my friends uncle

[@thedukefan97]

Personally, I agree that it deviates from tradition. I find that customizing your own stick is part of the game, or at least at some point in the line having a pair of hands make your string your stick for you. But, I can see where Warrior is coming from, as at least it's still being designed by players. However, I just don't like the mainstream aspect. To each their own though, not gonna hate something I haven't used as extensively as mesh and trad. I will say, Warrior shoots themselves in the foot with that price point. Ouch.

[@paulrabil]

Pricing is important -- you're absolutely right. Re: the stick customization, Warrior looked at hockey as an example of everyone molding their blades before the manufacturers began doing it (at a premium level) and offering it at retail. Makes sense, no? All that said, I think there will ALWAYS be a place for stringing in our sport.

[@thedukefan97]

Paul Rabil I do see that being a benefit, and it would lend to growth as well for the sport. New players would not have to worry about learning what a pocket is and where to get a good one, and instead focus on learning the game. Nothing wrong with mass production, I just hope to see the creativity continue. Thanks for the reply as well, love seeing lacrosse as a community work.

[@michaelforte1474]

Did anyone notice that the net said brine on the top bar

[@aidantodd2321]

PLEASE TELL ME THAT THEIR WILL BE A PT. 3!!!!

[@paulrabil]

(me too)

[@aidantodd2321]

Hi Mr. Rabil! I can't wait to receive my Rabil Card!

[@1BIGGALAN]

Dave Morrow scored Two Goals against Defending NCAA Champion North Carolina Tar Heels in the Semifinals

[@jacobsiekmann426]

Warps need to be more affordable and more people need to be able to get their hands on them. People will never understand it if they cannot experience it.

[@paulrabil]

You're absolutely right, Jacob! We need more sticks in hands.

[@jacobsiekmann426]

Paul Rabil I can help with that if you want. Never owned a Warp only shot with the first version though.

[@bigredtv7986]

Dope video

[@haydenclay5872]

Holy shit ur in Michigan come to Detroit and do a meet up

[@shieldslacrosse7384]

The Doggo yes yes please

[@anandavirmed578]

The Doggo fuck Detroit

[@JackOlsonLacrosse]

Make a Rabil warp

[@kyledanehy3796]

They should try to make a warp for faceoff players because in case if warps will be the only sticks to use in a game there might be no faceoffs.

[@brucepowell5249]

#AskPaul what is your favorite video game

[@nickmoscone523]

Owennnnnnn

[@MC-fo7hz]

Warps would be good beginner sticks they're just too expensive for a kid to ask his parents to buy him

[@emetcollins8530]

He probably just said he likes the warp for lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$

[@paulrabil]

Did you see the target practice?

[@all-aroundboss3298]

#askpaul can you ask warrior if I can have a helmet, shoulder pads, possibly rib pads, elbow pads, gloves and a warp

[@braydensmith8700]

#askpaul if you could marry any celebrity who would it be

[@ethanusmaximus5186]

Just send me a qrl hockey stick and I can be happy.

[@choochpuckface3940]

Can I have the new mesh

[@zswizzy]

#wassup

[@chasecellucci8680]

Syracuse is winning it all

[@prescottherbert9248]

strongly dislike the warp, i feel that it takes away from variety by trying to mainstream everyone's stick

[@paulrabil]

Prescott, ah. I get where you're coming from. I've got more to show you.

[@prescottherbert9248]

can't wait
