The Warrior QRL is the next installment of the Covert series, boasting entirely new materials, layup design, and an upgraded taper to give you a lightning quick release. This stick was designed to provide an enhanced shooting performance with a super low-kick quick release, lighter overall weight, and a balanced feel to maximize velocity and improve accuracy. Getting into the construction of the QRL, Warrior used its well-known True 1 construction which makes the QRL a seamless one-piece hockey stick from top to bottom. But it is what they made it out of that is perhaps the biggest change to this Covert line. The QRL introduces Minimus 1000 carbon fiber; a high strength and lightweight aerospace grade carbon fiber complete with a new flat-tow 2-D weave design. This high modulus carbon is woven into a visible 12K weave throughout the entire stick and is not only extremely lightweight, but helps enhance the QRL???s other construction technologies by maximizing the True 1???s balance and feel and helping to make the Dagger Taper III more responsive. Even more impressive is the 40% increase in strength to limit slash damage in high traffic areas as compared to its predecessor the QR1. Warrior???s tests also show that it is 20% stiffer for more positive feel and a quicker response as well as 10% lighter for that much better balance. The QRL will feature Dagger Taper III, the next generation of Dagger Taper technology. Warrior made the top side of the taper thinner to promote more flex, while making the bottom portion a little wider to prevent any torque of the blade, this new taper makes the QRL have a super low kick point with easy to load lightning quick release shots. For handling, the Covert line uses a traditional shaft geometry with rounded corners and straight sidewalls. This senior model features Warrior???s Pro CorTex grip, a nice textured tacky soft grip that locks your hands in place for optimum hand control while stick handling and shooting, if you don???t li MS1375379 MS1375379 26585614647
