06:45 G7 review conclusion and negatives - Sport
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. 😂
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.
I chopped off 1-1.5 last time haha
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..
Doesn't really matter how they look. I feel good in them so that's what matters
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.
I had the same comment typed in, throw a set of v10 on him and he'd be a completely different goalie.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
Dude I love them so much I think it works for me. doesn't matter how it looks but appreciate you always watching!
This guy just wears whatever company doesnt hate him 🤣
Since he burned his bridge with Bauer and True
Everybody makes great gear. I could wear anything, I prefer the g7 pads and blocker. Its why i use a bauer glove
Bauer is better
Just love the puck!
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.
I hate black gear lol
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
I think I gotta get that in the next vlog. Thanks brother :)
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 ?
same stiffness!
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.
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.
Thanks for watching!
Great looking gear!!! I want it in black and red!!!!!!
would look sharp!
@@trav4oilers any contacts for a good deal!😂
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!
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!
@@liamolsen4178 I actually just got a sharpening and it still doesn’t really work
Practice makes perfect man. Could have something on the inside of your skate catching with the pad and causing you to slip out?
Love your videos keep going ❤
love you too man
How does the velcro strapping work compared to the g6’s?
Way better, more traditional compared to the rest of the competition. I love it
Love to see the pads trav and can’t wait to see more use out of them
Vids have been great as of late
Keep grinding brotha
What videos 😂
Break on the videos haha thanks for watching Tyson :)
You broke the gear in at Glenwood?
yes sir!
Does warrior make a 580 style of glove?
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
@@gv1.167 palm doesn't change the break angle. Wish this stuff would go away.
They do but it's not a true 580
Do they play more like a hybrid or strictly butterfly?
No such thing has hybrid pads anymore.
@@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.
@@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
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?
No more hyrbid anymore
How do G7 rebounds compare to Bauer?
I put that in the video ;) very comparible
Good stuff
Plus Brian’s make the best gloves
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.
Finally, some good fucking content 😩
Glad you liked it :)
Did he have issues with warrior customer service in the past? Thought he even cancelled an order
That was true. Warrior has always been 100 with me
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.
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.
@@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.
i actually didnt mind the vaughn stuff. warrior has always taken care of me
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
maybe retro one day
You should review the Brian’s eclipse line
Not this summer. Long wait times
why cant you use a dark colored stick?
i just don't like them
It’s there take on the 580
“The cat won’t fit in the toaster.”
I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure Warrior equipment is made in China. I refuse to buy hockey equipment made in China.
i just my set of g/6s and they’re made in vietnam my guy
@@liamolsen4178 Sorry like I said I wasn't sure but at the end of the day I would still prefer buying my goal equipment Made in Canada.
vietnam!
@@trav4oilers Thanks for basically saying the same thing. The other guy already said and yeah, it's garbage equipment. If I'm spending my money, I'm buying Canadian made Goalie equipment.
Are you playing at the Freddy in may?
no :(
I guess the channel is winding down. Only posting sporadically now.
Quietest time of year my friend. Working on stalking up on some really good videos for you towards end of summer
You ever make whoopie whilst wearing just your goalie gear?
?
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.
@@sherlockholmes60 it's a shame, they worked for him
i tried vaughn, I liked them but i like g7 better
@@trav4oilers I've used the g4s and liked them but always end up back in the Vaughn's it's too bad the catch gloves are shit. Lol great protection but don't hold a puck
Just go out there and play good
Tbh you need different pads, they are too flat for you butterfly. Your five hole is massive try a Brian’s pad, they feel stiff, but have a nice curve.
That's my preference bro!
Well, as far as equipment review videos goes, you didn't show much in the way of the bottom of the boot channel of the pads.
In the future videos!
i feel your review are bias to warrior
Well I like the gear. I don't like the glove which is why I dont use it?
Back to rating gear 🤦🏼♂️
ive always done it
Wassup trav
hwyyyyyy
those are way too stiff my guy
For you or for me?
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 . 🎉
Nah Warrior is 🗑️ there is good reason no pro goalies use them
@@ODSTGodzilla cuz they don’t pay the nhl licensing fee🤷🏻♂️
They're dope. Thanks forwatching
Bro
Im a professional goalie and i hate these pads
Not since 2017
@@MrDcooper47 oh I actually work construction but I also pretend to be a professional goalie as well.
@@wyattfraser4504 Hey, I pretend too. Guess that's why we follow the leader pretender.
What do you use instead
