The Warrior Dynasty HD1 Hockey Stick is the top of the line model in the new Dynasty stick family. The HD1 stick utilizes all of Warrior's premium technology and materials; including the new 100% carbon thermoset & HyperDrive Engineered kick point. Deriving from research that went into Warrior's successful Covert QR1 stick, the HD1 utilizes strategic fiber orientation through a 14" zone in the middle of the shaft. When a player's lower hand is placed within this marked zone, shots are backed with blazing shot velocity and power.
The Warrior HD1's shaft features a true one-piece construction with a 100% carbon thermoset. These two combine to give players an exceptionally balanced and lightweight feel from top to bottom. To assist with accuracy, Warrior used their Strong-Arm Taper to ensure the blade face stays square to the target during the shooting process. Strong-Arm works by reinforcing the lower portion of the shaft in a way that increases stiffness in the area by 20%.
The blade is constructed of three key technologies; Hardcore X Foam Core, Twin-Spar Carbon Fiber Support and Aramid Sole reinforcement. The Twin-Spar Carbon bridges run heel to toe, providing support and stiffness for accuracy but it also also increases endurance and bend strength by 40%. The Hardcore X Foam is Warrior's lightest foam package available but more importantly it has 60% higher compression resistance 40% great tensile strength. Lastly is the Aramid Sole that reinforces the bottom edge of the blade for 4 times better impact resistance.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I've tried a lot of top end sticks over the past couple of years and this Warrior HD1 is definitely the best of all. The only other stick I feel comes close, is the CCM Superfast. The puck feel with this Warrior stick is great, the weight and feel of it are great, and my shots are flying off the blade right to where I want them to go when I take slappers and snapshots. I would recommend getting the grip version because I think it helps to get a firm shot off. The shaft dimensions don't give you that box like feeling and is perfect for me. If you're looking for a stick that feels and looks great, and gives you a solid accurate shot, I would definitely give this one a try.

Comments: Awesome stick!!! I won this stick in a raffle and it is performing great. Grip and texture are great for the shooter type. The HD kickpoint is in a more natural hand position. Perfect combination of power, quick release and kick point position. This stick added a lot to my shot. Now you can get power without sacrificing quick release. Very durable stick; took slashes, blocked slappers on the stick, heavy board battle and TONS of shots. This stick is so light I forgot I was carrying it to the rink with my CCM. Great feel for the puck. Best out of the 11+ sticks I own. DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY! It's the best in every area and is still balanced. Go buy one and find out for yourself!
