Warrior Hero

[laxattack662]

Have any of you played with the warrior hero yet, i passed around with the prototype(conor gill let me use it for a litte bit) an i thought it seemed pretty sweet, its kinda got the feel of a harrow...what r your oppinions if you have used one

[freestylewalkin]

from what ive seen its way overpriced

[laxattack8888]

Nevermind since the true pricing has come out recently :nut:

[laxjunkie412]

They're really ugly too...

[Lax101]

Yeah, It's trying to intimate a Harrow, I would just stay away from it since it's so overpriced and get a Howitzer for less; I mean that's the reality of just how much they want for one.
Yeah, because you know how much the hero is going to cost, right?

And who says that everyone likes the howitzer's diameter/grip?

I think its safe to say you got served.

[Fatboy]

If it's anywhere near as bad as I thought the splitshaft was, I would stay away. The myth is that harrows break easy, well I'd have to say that's false (save for the I-beam). If anything warrior shafts break easier. I recall snapping a brand new splitshaft in half with one check of my harrow pole......all I got was a little paint chip. But again all preference, and experience. Some of you guys might love splits, and will prob. love the CG hero. You can expect a reasonably high price for the shaft. Considering the split was like what? 130? 150? And since this is "CG sig." shaft I would expect it to eb in the same range. And anytime your considering a shaft that expensive (and don't have a lot of cash to blow) wait until it's game tested by people enough so someone can give you an honest review on it.

A local retailer told it will sell for around 85.

[lax4life6]

wait is this a carbon shaft? and how can you tell? i thought it was like a krypto with a grippy finish teh whole way up.

[Fatboy]

A local retailer told it will sell for around 85.

There is no way the Conor Gill Hero will sell for $85. That's impossible. If the Kpro is selling for like $80 at most places. There is no way warriors "premier" shaft for 06' will cost that low. Look for it to be around $130-150

i thought their premier shaft for '06 was going to be the crisscross kpro ? woops my bad

[laxattack8888]

Yeah Lax 101, I heard the Conor Gill Hero will be $150. Howitzers are $135, and if you don't like that, get a Field Attack for $90 or a Box for $95. All those are $15-60 less than the Hero. And let's all face it, the orange, purple, and red Heros look really ugly and fruity.

[Fatboy]

I doubt the kpro criss-cross isn't going to be their "premier" shaft....it's like last year when the swizzle was Brine's "premier" shaft.....Anything with one of their sponsored players name on it simply has to be their "#1" shaft.....I mean comon theyre not gonna make a special shaft for one of their players, and not make it their top one.

[huff]

The CG hero will retail for around $90-95, the regualr hero will be around $80-85. These aren't Warriors 'premier' shafts, they are just new. Fatboy, sorry you are wrong.

[Fatboy]

Wait huff, offtopic but are u in HS? Im over at east.....

Well okay maybe im wrong. But why would the splitshaft be $130, and the CG hero only be $100it just seems "off" for warrior to make a shaft that cheap, I mean klytes are like 70 retail. I just don't see how it's gonna be $20 more for a "signature shaft".

As far as premier shaft, I was referring to premier in their 06' line. because I'm pretty sure it will be their most marketed shaft this upcoming year.

[huff]

sorry not in HS.

Split shaft is that much because it's 2 different things, composite and a k-pro alloy. I'd assume this makes it harder to produce than a normal shaft. You've got to realize all this 'signature' stuff is a load of crap for the most part. I think its just custom colors for the hero, which is good since all the other colors suck. This probably won't be the most marketed shaft for them, they will still stick to the full titanium line ads and push the pro series (heads) ads.

[D Bay]

I played with the hero a bit. It had a Gait chaos on it at the time. I liked the hero, nice feel. i thought it had more of that powdery python grip then the harrow grip, but it's all pretty close. I liked the chaos a lot, too.

[LaxLover546]

you are all stupid, it is not overpriced, it is 80 dollars which is not more expensive then a harrow. As for imitation, if there was no imatation, we would not have the equipment we have today.

Excuse me, I'm stupid? Sorry, but i think not. I also made no claims of the hero being an imitation, but expect it to be more expensive than $80. Plain hero will cost in the ballpark of $85, CG signature more xpensive, and supposedly criss cross, more expensive still. Also, if you must knock others on the forums, don't accuse everyone in the thread. If you have something to say about people's posts, PM them. Most of the posters in this thread did not call it an "imitation". As for the ones who did, don't post waste our time and bandwidth, PM them about it.

I am more than happy with Harrow's sticks for my composites. I, for one, do not feel like ever playing with a shaft that looks like it came out of a box of crayons. As for the Connor Gill "signature" Hero, who cares? I don't buy Mikey Powell's line and I'm definitely NOT going to buy anything that bears Gills name on it. Let Warrior compete with Harrow in this market all they want, it is called free enterprise and will only serve to improve the quality of other companies and eventually the competition will help decrease the price of some of these sticks so that we, the consumers, can get the best deals. I hate the Hero, I call it a Zero, but it is important to have such competition and essential to the further development of the sport. Those of you who like Harrow and will swear by their products will most likely be pleased with any further advancements that Harrow develops in order to compete with the Hero line.

the hero isn't a composite shaft... or at least not yet, it isn't. Just a shaft similar to the krypto pro but with ruberry coating for grip. It really isn't designed to take harrow out of the business. One is composite, one isn't. Let the hero have a chance to prove itself before you say you HATE it. Also, a better mentality when buying a product is to get what you like best and what works, and who knows, that could mean the swerve and swizzle for you. Considering you ruled them out before giving them a try, you wouldn't know. Have you even used a hero shaft yet anyway?

No. I actually am going to be prejudiced here and not care to give it a chance. I did, however, get a "taste" of the MP line (swizzle and swerve), but did not care for them. Listen, arguing with people on the Forum is ridiculous. Like supporting any sports team, there will always be people whose "loyalty" causes them to say and act rashly without any thought or consideration as to other's sensibiities or reactions. All the lacrosse players alive today probably like one thing better than another and because of numerous and/or repetitive postive/negative experiences with said company's product will remain either a part of a loyal fan base, casual buyer, or dedicated despiser. Thanks for your thoughts though.

[craig21]

lax unlimited has the hero composite for $75 on the website

[rooftop13]

YEP.

The Conor Gill Hero runs for about $95 at lacrose.com....which isn't exactly a bargain bin. If you look around, you should be able to find one from $80. I personally really like this shaft.

Amen.

[ColtsLax]

LD has it for 85, 5 less than the field attack

[UnstHopable]

no,they have the signatuer for 71

[ColtsLax]

looks like 85 to me

[LaxLlama8]

At GA, the conor gill one is 93 bucks

[laxattack8888]

^ Haha, yeah now I learn of the true pricing... People said it would be 50% more than that at first.

[jnico129]

i herd it was light and duranle but really overpriced for a composite

[njlaxpunk10]

Guys, arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics.

Even if you win, you're still retarded.

[crazydrew86]

a kid on my team has it. i dont know much about the shaft but the one my friend has is black and white(in split shaft style, the top is black and the bottom is white, or vice-versa). the grip is ok nothing special it feels a little heavy. it doesnt dent very easily but whatever its made of seems to be chipping. IMO it is not worth 80$.

[WHEELAX2]

I wrote a review on this sucker..

[BTlaxripper]

EDIT- Ignore this

[orangeman17]

just go with a harrow, they are more proven

[lax4life6]

its fairly nice. it does chip pretty easily but that doesnt do structural dmage.

[D Bay]

Wow, I was being an a-hole when I posted earlier. Sorry about that formerlaxdemon if you read this, don't know what my problem was that day. I looked at this thread and was like...jeez, what's my deal?
