Warrior has officially launched the Fantom QRE to the masses on May 24, 2019. The stick was seen in action in the NHL during the 2019 Stadium Series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. Brian Dumoulin was the first player spotted using the stick, and you can find photos of him using it throughout the game.
Bauer released their Vapor ADV stick a few years back, and that stick came in at a feather light 355 grams. Warrior has clearly taken aim at the Vapor lineup, matching its QRE low kick series with an extremely innovative lightweight design.
Time will have to tell for now if the Fantom QRE has the durability of some of the heavier QRE models, or if it is akin to the legendary Vapor XX Lite, which had performance and light weight, but couldn’t back it up with durability at the time due to technological constraints.
Read on below for all the details on the stick interpreted directly from your Warrior and its retailers!
