Warrior G7 Review

[@gdijkema]

It feels like every time Trav gets new pads he adds a half-inch or an inch. In a couple seasons those pads are gonna be up to his nipples. 😂

[@place_desjardins]

He actually went to shorter pads before his hip surgery. It was odd considering his height, but I think his hip impingement was not working with taller pads.

[@trav4oilers]

I chopped off 1-1.5 last time haha

[@ryana3679]

Your pads don’t suit your style of play and your butterfly. I know you like the flat look but it doesn’t fit in your game.

[@jasonhill6074]

I had the same comment typed in, throw a set of v10 on him and he'd be a completely different goalie.

[@ryana3679]

@@jasonhill6074if he had a wide butterfly the flat pads would make sense. Right now there is such a gap between the pads in his butterfly that’s exactly where I would keep shooting if I was a player.

[@place_desjardins]

@@ryana3679 His pads are fine, it's his form. His butterfly save is so narrow, he needs to work on getting it wider. He could be in Vaughn, Bauer, True,, CCM, or Brian's pads; it wouldn't make a difference.

[@ryana3679]

@@place_desjardins I’m not saying the pads are the problem. I’m saying with his style and flexibility in his butterfly going with straight pads leaves him more exposed than with a knee break. With his hips he’ll never spread his butterfly enough to get the advantage of his flat pads. It also looks weird to me personally. He’s not Antti Niemi or anyone like that.

[@trav4oilers]

Dude I love them so much I think it works for me. doesn't matter how it looks but appreciate you always watching!

[@BeerLeagueGoalie81]

Hey Trav how about doing a video on how you make the videos. Cameras mics which editing program like a step by step of how you do them. Im curious just idea lol ik its alot of hard work keep it up

[@trav4oilers]

I think I gotta get that in the next vlog. Thanks brother :)

[@LethalVenom02]

Hey Trav! Would you ever go back to vaughn?

[@trav4oilers]

if they wanted to give me some demos to try sure but I wouldnt buy them

[@BB12659]

I'm a Bauer guy, always have been. Thanks for the update on the Warriors, they're sweet! I'm a Bauer ghost, as said, I'll wear them until my skates fall off.

[@trav4oilers]

Thanks for watching!

[@Taylod1]

I moved from my Bauer to Warrior as I couldn't get a good feel in the leg channel. The G6 glove and blocker are excellent, the pads have been a different story the inner raised pads take some getting used by this I mean when I stand up the pads are pushing against my leg, I've had to relearn the standing sensation. The slide plates are still a working in progress. To put this into context I've used them for 16 games. Overall I'm happy with Warrior I may change to the G7 pads as I did like the calf pillow in the Bauer.

[@Matfast32]

Sweet looking gear, let us know how you like the Warrior stick over time. The all white looks pretty clean. Is the boot softer on the G7s compared to the G6s ?

[@trav4oilers]

same stiffness!

[@killernuke1156]

How do you feel about mainly black gear, I love my pads, blocker and catcher black, but like you said I cannot play with a darker colour stick.

[@trav4oilers]

I hate black gear lol

[@sacredtoad2117]

Hey my one bud plays goalie and hes 6ft 6 hes struggling to find gear tbat fits him, since youre a taller guy where could i find some taller gear for him

[@jakecichon713]

Nice pads, but really don’t suit your gameplay style at all man!! Not trying to be rude but nothing is sealed up while In your butterfly..

[@trav4oilers]

Doesn't really matter how they look. I feel good in them so that's what matters

[@eduardopepez]

Did he have issues with warrior customer service in the past? Thought he even cancelled an order

[@trav4oilers]

That was true. Warrior has always been 100 with me

[@damienherrmann1516]

I am currently playing with Warrior GT2 38+1. I would like to take G7rtl, can I go with the same size or are they bigger? Thx you for the answer

[@trav4oilers]

If you like your size rn I'd stay the same?

[@christrzepinska2425]

Hey Trav, I’m having trouble with my butterfly pushes. I can push with my left leg toward my right no problem, but when I try to go with my right left to my left side I get almost zero push and my skate won’t even stick in the ice? Any suggestions on how to fix that? Thank you!

[@liamolsen4178]

check ur blades to see if there could be any damage on them. if you don’t see anything take them to where you get your skates sharpened and they’ll be able to tell a lot more by looking at them. hope this helps!

[@christrzepinska2425]

@@liamolsen4178 I actually just got a sharpening and it still doesn’t really work

[@trav4oilers]

Practice makes perfect man. Could have something on the inside of your skate catching with the pad and causing you to slip out?

[@exploited8779]

You need Vaughn pads, stop using crap that doesn’t work for you, or with you, your 5 hole is enormous with those things. Grab some vaughns like one of your old coaches said and everyone else.

[@place_desjardins]

Manufacturer or model wouldn't matter. He needs to work on his flexibility, get his butterfly wider, close up the five hole. It was always getting worse and narrower with his hip impingement. Now, it's like muscle memory for him to go to a narrow butterfly.

[@mihaU1]

@@place_desjardins at his age he won't make it wider. There are some genetic limitations that should be taken into account. And he already had the hip surgery. I'm working on my flexbility for over 2 years and progress is close to nil. Some people are just not meant to have a wider butterfly. EOT.

[@trav4oilers]

i actually didnt mind the vaughn stuff. warrior has always taken care of me

[@njuman4307]

i know white pads are good cause it matches every team but i feel like u could go retro with a full brown set, it matches most teams and i think thats better lookin then white gear :D

[@trav4oilers]

maybe retro one day

[@pavelvoracek2721]

How does the velcro strapping work compared to the g6’s?

[@trav4oilers]

Way better, more traditional compared to the rest of the competition. I love it

[@dylannewman1389]

Does warrior make a 580 style of glove?

[@gv1.167]

the G7.1 is a 580-ish glove. They dont say its a 580 but it really feels like it especially with the 90 degree palm

[@tommywd40]

Do they play more like a hybrid or strictly butterfly?

[@MrDcooper47]

No such thing has hybrid pads anymore.

[@ilyazhitomirskiy9218]

​@@MrDcooper47 I think he means are the pads flexible with softer rebounds, or stiffer with hard rebounds? Bauer Vapour pads are more flexible, but have hard rebounds. Vaughn SLR are stiffer pads, or at least they are marketed that way, but they have soft rebounds.

[@MrDcooper47]

@@ilyazhitomirskiy9218 Oh I know, I'm just hoping we leave that old style of describing pads in the dust. It's been a looooong while since we've had a true hybrid pad

[@ilyazhitomirskiy9218]

EFlex may not be a true hybrid pad, but out of the modern pads, they and the Vaughn Velocity lines are the most similar in play style to hybrid pads. A better question is do Warrior pads play more like Bauer pads (stiff with hard rebounds), EFlex (flexible pads with soft rebounds), or in between?

[@trav4oilers]

No more hyrbid anymore

I was in a store and tried on a Brian's with practice palm. It was heavier in weight and much harder to close than any other trapper I've picked up. it seemed to be beefed up for AHL/NHL level slap shots.

[@afireinside33110]

After watching you for a few years now. I honestly think you need vaughn pads, bauer glove and maybe the new warrior blocker. Just my opinion on what i see in the video. As always I love the content and don't let the trolls get you down. Your still doing way better than a majority of the people out there.

Warrior is the best, about 4 years ago I needed new boots straps for my G3’s. When I couldn’t find any I emailed warrior to ask for recommendations for where or who to buy them from. They responded by sending 2 packs of the complete g3 straps for free. I wasn’t asking for that, but they delivered. I will be a warrior customer for life because of it, and am proud to say I placed my first custom pad order for the G7 series . 🎉
