[...] Finally, we get to some Warrior RPMs! These gloves were great, but you could definitely wear through them with a season of good wear. To see a pair still out on the field is always cool, and it proves Chris Massey isn’t the only old guy out there still rocking the OG Warrior mittens. [...]

Absolutely old school, they were designed to be like titanium shafts from the 90′s.

I just saw a picture recently of of pole using a MX back in the day, I think from Hobart.
It’s funny because the MX was made to be an offensive/attack stick, then the M1 for middies and the MD for defense, but I guess a lot of poles used the MX.
Nice job Joseph, you do nice work.

Thank you! So glad I know the name of it now and I can believe you can just buy them. I think its funny you can buy them and finding an OG Blade is like winning the lottery.

I also have some more videos of sticks I strung recently on my youtube channel, click link above to check them out.

Now that’s some beautiful work… Love seeing that custom stringing isn’t dead. That’s a Brine MX from the early 90s… Want one new while they last?

Sweet traditional, did he string that himself?

What happen to his L-35′s from Princeton? He’s a sell out.

Seriously, he must have gotten tons of gear from his pro playing days, it’s pretty cool that choses to use the old stuff. Did he cut the palms out?
A arbitrary cut off doesn’t work for me, there has to be some sort of sliding scale.
Does the fact that Massey has personally been using these gloves for 10 years make them old school, whereas if I picked up a pair on eBay they wouldn’t be? Does the traditional pocket make the razor more old school then it would with a mesh pocket?
Does the popularity of the gear when it was new factor in? Or that it was the original of new versions?

Maybe we should treat this like cars; antique, classic, vintage. A Sam is more old school than an edge, but that doesn’t mean the Edge isn’t old school.
