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 Novium line offers a mid-kick point for versatility on shots, enhanced by some of Warrior’s top technologies.
Passed down from the 2022 Novium stick line is the Bevel Taper. This taper has V-shaped side walls to reduce weight and make it easier to load. This design creates more stiffness and torsional strength in the taper allowing for increased control and improved shot velocity.
In the shaft of the stick Warrior uses Minimus Carbon 25. This carbon weave is a flat, spread-tow material that optimizes strength by reducing fiber crimp and deformation in the composite layering. Although this carbon weave is thin and lightweight, it is extremely strong.
Brand new to the Super Novium stick is the RL 199 construction. This lightweight design surpasses Warrior’s lightest and strongest stick construction to date. They took their highest grade construction and added higher strength fibers which are an incredible 40% higher in modulus and tensile to achieve the 330g weight and unmatched response.
In the blade, Warrior uses their all new FuelCore T construction. The polymer blade core is tough and durable, wrapped with high-grade carbon fiber. The lightweight polymer blade optimizes puck feel and provides pop for shooting. Warrior also included Minimus Carbon 25 weave around the core, making the blade more responsive.
The Super Novium continues the evolution of the top-of-the-line Warrior mid-kick stick. The Super Novium is the lightest stick on the market at 330g, while still maintaining strength, giving players unmatched load, release and response.
