Stick Flex Profile
The Alpha DX Hockey Stick features Sabre Taper technology that combines a low kick-point with a stable powerful release. This makes the DX Stick explosive whether you are looking to snap a shot off quick, or load up a heavy shot from the perimeter.
Shaft Construction
Warrior has combined both True 1 Phantom Feel and Minimus Carbon 1400 in the shaft of the Warrior DX Stick. True 1 Phantom Feel offers players a true one-piece balanced construction that is the lightest and strongest Warrior has made. True 1 Phantom Feel gives you better feel and control when the puck is on your stick.
The shaft materials are constructed with Minimus Carbon 1400. This provides the consumer a high strength, lightweight flat weave carbon that is very dynamic and elastic when pressure is applied.
Warrior utilizes an Ergo Shaft Shape in the DX Stick. Featuring an ergonomic contour allowing that shaft to fit comfortably and securely in your hands, for better feel when you’re controlling the puck, or ready to snap one on net.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
The Alpha DX Stick Blade is made with FuelCore Blade Technology. FuelCore delivers a polymer blade core with composite layering exterior redesigned to be stronger and tougher. The end result gives you more puck feel and blade pop when releasing the puck. FuelCore’s design also reduces breakdown of material which gives you longer life in your stick.
Graphics
The Graphics of the Warrior DX Grip Hockey Stick are very modern. Featuring a blacked out shaft and blade, with bright yellow and blue accents to give the stick some character and pop. This stick will be sure to stand out on the ice.
Grip
The DX Grip Sticks are coated with Apex Grip Texturing. Apex Grip is applied in textured zones with a tacky soft grip finish, locking easily in your hands for enhanced stick control.

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
Selecting the right stick for you.
When it comes to sizing a Hockey Stick, the length tends to be a preference. Sticks come in Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth lengths with corresponding flex options. You will need to consider your weight and height or the person you are buying for in order to choose the correct size. Intermediate, Junior, and Youth hockey sticks will have smaller shaft dimensions, making them easier for young players to hold and control.
A stick can always be cut down in length, and will usually be cut down for kids. However, selecting a hockey stock too long in length or the wrong flex can hinder performance. For kids, junior, intermediate and senior all come in roughly standards length. In some cases, each Junior flex will be a different length of stick. Look at each and compare the height of the player you are buying for.
Flex can be tricky to pick as every hockey player is different and has their own preference. You can think of flex numbers as pounds of force. Having too stiff or too whippy a stick can hinder performance in their own ways.
Personalizing your stick length.
As mentioned before, length is very much personal preference. To determine a benchmark height, stand with your shoes off and the stick against your body with the toe on the ground. As a general rule of thumb we recommend sticks to come up to between your mouth and nose. For kids, or players who are still growing, the maximum height we recommend is eye level.
Mark the shaft of the stick where the height is desired and cut it down to length. Make sure to re-insert the plug from the top to prevent an open composite end at the top of your stick.
When cutting a stick down, keep in mind that the shorter you cut a stick, the stiffer it becomes. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off. If you are unsure how much you want to cut off, take the least amount first so that you can always cut more if necessary. Cutting the stick multiple times will not affect the sticks construction.
Information to Consider
Flex Options
Players want to be able to fully flex the stick. If a stick is too soft, the resulting shot will be inaccurate and weak. If a stick is too stiff, there will be no power behind the shot. Think of the flex number as pounds of force. This is the number of pounds that need to be put into the stick to fully flex it.
Curve Options
In most cases, sticks are offered in multiple blade curve pattern options. Please refer to our blade pattern charts for more information regarding the patterns available.
Kick Point Options
A Mid-kick stick will have a stiffer taper so that it flexes more in the middle of the shaft. These sticks have a longer loading time but offer a more powerful shot, perfect for players taking a lot of slap shots.
A Low-kick stick will have a stiffer middle of the shaft and softer taper so that it flexes at the bottom of the shaft closer to the blade. These sticks will have a much quicker release perfect for quick snap shots and writs shots.
