Why can't sexual jokes be funny? What's wrong with them? People are way too politically correct these days it is saddening. Maybe it's not the people at warrior who need to grow up, but instead the people who think "the ads have gone too far." Ready heres a really interesting and cool thing anyone can do if they wish to not support warrior, and or see the ads, don't get lacrosse magazines, and don't buy or use warrior gear! It's that simple folks, and here we had plenty of people getting bent out of shape over something that had such a simple solution. You're welcome in advance.

Maybe its because of a incident that happened in North Carolina at a school called Duke, that sexual innuendo and references don't belong in lacrosse's mainstream advertising and gear.

Is Warrior going to come out with a shaft called the Rapier? Its a real word. It just looks like something else doesn't it? Maybe they'll have a Duke edition as well. :concerned :concerned :concerned :concerned :concerned

How far does Warrior have to go before they push the limits too much and people say, "No, we won't stand for your immaturity giving lacrosse players a bad rap?" In my opinion, not too much further. Especially with what ESPN saying that their new gloves are called the "Shocker". Totally sexually connotation, because of Warrior's long standing and long running track record of having such items in their equipment repertoire.

Think about this. How many of you buy a new head every year, or even a couple of months? How much do you think you're spending already on heads?

If I were a serious defenseman, I would invest 120$ in a head if it doesn't warp.

Oh deffinatly, as long as it's not too pinched (which it looks like it isn't) I'll probably be getting one, as long as the Ti doesn't bend/break, it looks to me like a good investment.

yes warrior came to my camp and showed us this head. I do believe its a gimmick i mean the titanium is just extra dough off your hands. You had to have been there to have herd the way the warrior people were idolizing this head it was ridiculous. The guuy was like "prefect for all positions" face off" you name its great at it.

No way I would use one for faceoffs. Besides shouldn't they idolize the F-off for faceoffs?

Why wouldn't you use one for faceoffs? Pretty good pinch, and won't warp? You are too caught up in type of head used broha. I would not be mad if I used a stiffi at the X. I'd slightly tweak my game and do more a push it forward rather than the plunger, which gets the same desired affect. And the stiffi would be the Blade of Pushing it foward.

True for the push but if you tried any plungers or anything that bends the head. GAME OVER. You just permanently warped a $130 head! Congrats! Because of the titanium it would not be able to bend back.

The point of the titanium is to make it bounce back into place.

So the Ti not only makes it stiffer, but it keeps it from staying warped to one-side. Thats the largest selling point of the Stiffi--that it isn't suppouse to warp, by the fact that it "doesn't" warp, it means that if it is bent from one side to another, say on a faceoff, goundball, or defensive check, the Ti is to bounce it back into place.
So actually, "GAME ON"

Any other comments?

It's not heavy, i've seen one.
THe advantages are that the titanium prevents the sidewalls from flexing, this makes the shot more accurate because the ball will not move around due to head flex. This makes passing, shooting, and picking pockets easier.

thank you. People already give lacrosse players a bad rap and now if they ever pick up an IL magazine in a bookstore and see this "shocker" or "stiffi" and then combine that with warriors extremely sexual and immature advertising what are they going to think. I personally wont buy from warrior and because of theyre advertising, im not trying to keep a company alive that does what they do. The stiffi ads alone are pushing it far enough. Whats the shocker ad going to say "two in the pink and one in the topright corner"?. I really wish that they would realize that young kids are playing lacrosse and dont need see some of that stuff. I also noticed that in the lastest IL issue an adverisement for the VIKING Helmet has a picture of a man with an erection, really mature.

i won the one for the millon camp i went to. i did not have to sign a wavier as everyone thought. they said that so no one would ask me to sell it i think. i wouldnt anyway. i just have to review it for warrior and send in the form by the end of the summer. after i went up to claim my prize, me: "thanks alot what do i have to sign?"
george? i think from millon or one of the guys doing the raffle "nothign were just messing with you, play with it as much as possible this summer, fill out the review and send it to warrior, and dont sell it."

and warrior makes another blatent attempt to sound pimp. Look at the ads they put out.

the stiffi is gunna be huge? G-Zone penetration? The stiffi lets me play all night long? all natural male lacrosse enhancement? with the titanium vain you wont go limp in the summertime?

gimmie a frickin break. warrior is rediculous and needs to drop those bullcrap names right away. grow up you losers over at warriordude you need to learn to accept it its an ad and a good one at that just because you see it as inappropriate doesnt mean its not gonna be a great product so just wait until you use it then critique

blackjacklax

07-04-2007, 01:09 AM

well i used my moms old mech cooking scale so idk how off it is but i think its a tad heavier than the razer 2.0 because i got one for free at the camp too for registering or w.e. so right around 5.0 ounces i have it on a platinum alloy from a while ago and dont think its too bad of a set up wieght wise. but in a few words, its not heavey at all (especially factorign in the Ti reinforcement) oh and im glad it doesnt have the stupid looking warrior tribal/flames crap. instead it just says "titanium reinforced" and "stiffi" where the flames or w.e. would be with stiffi in the middle of the throat part were that other piece of Ti is.

EDIT: i just read this on the other page

if your still wondering lacrosse4life 31 was lieing. it was not hard to string at all the only i noticed is that the last sidewall hole is a little further away from the ballstop side like the other heads but not even by much. and i like it and am happy with it (mainly because i never win squat and won this and its supposed to be a lot when it releases)

07-04-2007, 11:15 PM

i just got back from a lax camp, and one of the coaches works for warrior and he got the new stiffi. he let me try it out for a coupld practices, ehhh well for one thing its not really thaqt stiff...the point was to be that if it bended it would bend back. and the titanium doesnt actually go through the whole stick, but actually only through about half of the sidewalls. Really crappy scoop.... really hard to pick up groundballs... i have some pics ill load up later, but their kinda crappy and taken with a phone...
oh and it should cost around 120 to 140$$

blackjacklax

07-04-2007, 11:39 PM

i found gb's to be easy to pick up with/and without proper form. its easier without proper form ( not bending knees or lowering bottom hand) because of its offset-ness and it was still pretty easy with good form of ( athletic stance, lowered bottomw hand; putting it closer to the ground, and just running through or stand still scooping. I found it also pretty easy to rake with and found it pretty easy over all, with any method, to pick up gb's. i think most people knew that titanuim only rain through the main portion of the sidewall and by the throat. the idea is to have a minimum head wieght, and still have the durability and bending resistance/ or resistance to perminately bending which so far in my evaluation its doing an excellent job

Ha the advertisement is hilarious... I dont know hwy everyone has to be such a prude all the time.

For the head itself, I recently went to a store where the owner showed me a stiffy that he had. It has the titanium running through the sidewalls and cutouts where you can see the metal itself. The head will not bend at all. It is the same outer plastic as the new Evo pro with the ridges on it. The head will be great for defenders. The owner of the store told me they will sell for about $130-$140 when the come out in october. Rigth now they are going for $170 on eBay.

I think it would be kind of stupid to buy, only because it doesnt look like it will be legal for 09 and it probably wouldnt be worth it to me to pay 130 bucks for a head that I can only use one year. This was probably already stated but I saw one on ebay, the bid was like 150 with like 5 days left, but this was a couple of weeks ago.

Why must Warrior advertise like this.

The T looks like a dildo, the name stiffi (speaks for itself)

All natural male lacrosse enhancement. WTF?

All of that makes me hate the head, the only way I will buy it is if it doesn't cost over $100.

good call man but i doubt it will cost less than $100 it has frikken titanium in it

I wonder if its possible for warrior to make something that doesnt have to be "pimped out." They have "the stiffi", "the penatraitor", "the mac daddy." Whats names are going to be next, "the hooker", "the threesom" and so on...

Im mean this head is a good idea, but these names are just riducles.

sorry but, you mean lack-of-an-inccident in North Carolina.

And, I disagree with the "rapier" statement, you are bashing a fine school taht is a lacrosse powerhouse.....I really think you are making a big deal out of nothing, the ads (although immature) are still quite funny and are all in good fun, there are so much "male enhancement" ads on tv now adays, that it was pretty funny they parody'd them. It doesn't change how good the product is, and all the ad did was generate buzz about it. But I digress, I can't wait for it to come out so I can try one out my self, and if it is nice I will look into buying one.

i think this head will be great. I think why everyone doesn`t like warrior is because there advertising is ok but what is advertising but to get you to think that theres is the best and to get the products name in your head.When you go to the store you will be thinking and the sTIffi will be in your head because of that ad.
Just my idea though

snafoo

07-31-2007, 12:37 PM

its a good head but nothing amazing. I've had mine for about a month now and used it in about 6 games. I don't think it will be great for d-men as the titanium in the sidewall does bend after big checks. I play attack and had to bend it back during a game once or twice after riding. That would make me believe it wont be a great head for FO middies either. It might be 09 legal but i doubt Warrior thought about that at all when making it since they're the main push behind stopping that rule.
