New Warrior Super Novium Senior Right Handed Hockey Stick 85 Flex W88

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 Warrior Super Novium hockey stick continues Warrior's innovative legacy with its lightweight design and powerful shots. It is the lightest stick Warrior has made, featuring Minimus Carbon 25 material and RL 199 construction in the shaft. The Bevel Taper design enhances control and shot velocity, while the FuelCore T blade improves puck feel with its lightweight core and textured finish.

The Super Novium has a mid-kick point and balances quick release and power generation, making it great for snapshots and slap shots. Thanks to its high-grade carbon fiber construction, the Novium has an excellent puck feel during stickhandling and passing. The Minimus Carbon 1000 technology seems to have improved the stick's durability compared to some earlier Warrior models. However, as with all high-performance sticks, longevity can vary based on usage intensity and player style.
