The Warrior Covert QR5 20 stick is new for 2022 and features many technologies new and upgraded, including a QREdge Taper, Minimus Carbon UD, RLC 155, and a FuelCore Pro blade. Warrior has been improving their popular low kick Covert line to enhance performance in speed and accuracy.
Stick Flex Profile
Covert is classified as a low to ultra-low kick point stick family. A low kick point is ideal for players who prefer to get closer to the play and maneuver in tighter corners and situations. Warrior brought back their QREdge Taper, which is an angular, hexagonal geometry that becomes more pronounced as you reach closer to the hosel. Its purpose is to enhance that transfer of energy through the shaft to the blade for a more powerful shot and even quicker release.
Shaft Construction & Stiffness
Warrior is well-known in the hockey and lacrosse worlds for constantly reworking their carbon construction and materials, and this stick’s shaft demonstrates their advancements in that area. The shaft uses Warrior’s own Minimus Carbon UD, also seen in the Alpha line, which is a very light and resistant unidirectional carbon. The shaft on the outside uses a tacky grip to help you keep the stick locked onto your hand.
As seen in the Alpha LX 20 stick, the Covert QR5 20 uses their premium-grade RLC 155, or Revolutionary Lightweight Construction 155, which is a better stick design for withstanding bend and impact force. It can take these forces through its use of a harder resin and elongation fibres.

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.
