The Warrior Alpha DX hockey stick is built for high-performance, with many technologies and features the elite-level player is looking for from a top-of-the-line model. Mid-kick point design for a quick release Sabre Taper for enhanced accuracy True 1 Phantom for a lightweight feel Minimus Carbon 1400 for increased durability Fuelcore technology for added pop Ergo shaft shape for enhanced control Apex Grip Texture for a locked-in feel When purchasing a new hockey stick, it is important to place a focus on kick point. Finding the right kick point - where the stick flexes most when shooting - will help take your shot to the next level. If you’re unsure which kick point is best for your game, visit your local Pure Hockey for an accurate assessment. The Warrior Alpha line offers a mid kick point for a quick release, enhanced by some of Warrior’s top technologies. One of these features is the Sabre Taper. As Warrior’s exclusive taper design, this technology combines the response of a mid-kick construction with increased stability, providing players with a stick that is easy to load, accurate, and produces shots that are both fast and powerful. Because this is a true mid-kick stick, this feature is ideal for quick snapshots, but with the Sabre Taper design, you can get off great shots from anywhere in the offensive zone. For the construction, the Alpha DX includes True 1 Phantom Feel. Warrior’s lightest and strongest one-piece design to date, this construction creates a balanced, lightweight stick which enhances puck control and response while stickhandling, passing, and shooting. Also included in this stick construction is Warrior’s Minimus Carbon 1400 material. This high-strength, lightweight flat weave carbon design produces a light and durable shaft. This material is dynamic and elastic, providing an excellent overall feel. In the blade, Warrior includes their Fuelcore technology. This lightweight polymer blade includes composite layering around the core for better responsiveness, puck feel, and to help give you more pop with every shot. This innovation also reduces the breakdown of materials within the blade to help increase durability. The Alpha DX stick also includes an Ergo shaft shape for a contoured design that fits comfortably and securely in your hands, and Warrior’s Apex Grip Texture which provides a tacky soft grip finish that locks easily into your hands for maximum control. The Alpha DX is built for the elite players who skate 4-5+ times per week and need a high-performing stick to give them the edge their looking for. But this hockey stick is a great option for all players, regardless of level, if they want a stick with top features and a mid-kick design.
