New Features
The Warrior Alpha DX Hockey Stick is a stick with very durable carbon properties. This stick is a low kick-point Sabre taper, with FuelCore blade construction, True 1 Phantom design and an Ergonomic contoured shaft. It’s finished with a low key black and grey highlight colorway.
Stick Flex Profile
The DX Stick features Sabre Taper Technology, which in short is a Low Kick-Point stick. The technology combines low kick responsiveness with a powerful release. This gives the player easier shaft loading and a quick release for more accurate shots.
Shaft Construction
The Alpha DX Stick has an ergonomic contoured shaft shape which is designed to fit comfortably and securely in your hands. This will provide you more control when puck handling and shooting.
Blade Construction
The Warrior DX stick uses FuelCore Blade Core and True 1 Phantom Feel technology.
FuelCore is a lightweight polymer blade core that enhances puck control and makes your shot pop off your stick. FuelCore is made with composite layering around the core of the blade making it stronger. The layering also prevents the breakdown of materials which adds to the durability of the stick.
True 1 Phantom Feel is 1-piece shaft/blade construction that creates lightweight blade balance and smooth, strong flex arcs. The true 1-piece construction also provides you with enhanced responsiveness when snapping the puck around.
Grip
The DX SL stick has Apex Grip texture which is a soft tacky feel that locks your hands into place when controlling your stick.

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.
