- Is the Alpha LX3 Comp worth it over the entry Alpha LX3?
- Yes, if you want a lighter, stiffer stick with a livelier blade. The Comp uses Minimus Carbon 6 and FuelCore Ultra, while the base LX3 uses heavier, less responsive materials. Casual players may not notice the difference.
- How does it compare with the Alpha LX Pro?
- The LX Pro uses higher-grade carbon and a more damped blade, so it feels softer on passes and holds up longer under hard use. The LX3 Comp is lighter on the wallet but gives up some durability and puck feel.
- Is the low kick point right for me?
- It suits quick wrist and snap shots from in close, which is most forwards' game. If you take a lot of slap shots from the point, a mid or high kick stick like Warrior's Covert line will give you more power.
- What flex and curve options does it come in?
- Warrior sells it in senior and intermediate flexes with several curve patterns. Check the flex rating against your weight and strength; most adult players fit in the 70 to 85 range.
- Does it come with a warranty?
- Warrior covers composite sticks against manufacturing defects for a limited period, typically 30 days. It does not cover breakage from play, so keep the receipt.
- How much does it weigh?
- About 399g in a senior flex, which is light for a mid-range composite and close to some pro-tier sticks.
