Commentary: the M1 series marks a big update to Warrior’s goalie stick portfolio, offering an incredibly light stick with a low kick point.  The back of the paddle features a unique geometric design, helping to reduce the overall weight and lower the kickpoint.  We found we were able to get more snap on both our passes and shots.  The stick is well-balanced and, despite its stiffness above the kickpoint, does not have significant vibration. Though extremely lightweight, the stick does NOT feel fragile.  The shaft (the main place for goalie stick breakage) is very durable and held up against many hard shots during testing thanks to the usage of Minimus Carbon G1200 & the Impact Fiber Layer construction which is an additional layer of carbon fiber on the top, bottom and front face of the shaft. Stock colors are either a silver or white logos with a matte finish, giving the stick a striking but clean appearance.

GGN Rating: 4.7

• The Great: Extremely light weight, great finish and very durable.

• The Good: Easy to lift the puck, great shooting
