Warrior Widow 2011 Hockey Stick Review

Warrior Widow 2011 Review

The Warrior Widow Hockey Sticks are the top of the line sticks from Warrior offering the very best materials and features from Warrior. The Warrior Widow stick is the only stick in the Warrior line that features a True 1 piece stick construction for better control, balance, and feel.

Warrior has given the Widow stick the D-Lite blade core which is the evolution of the Double D blade core. Using a double density internal polymer core, D-lite technology allows for a very stable heel and base area which transitions to a very light and springy mid-toe area. The center of gravity of the blade is also moved closer to the heel area, which makes the blade feel lighter but does not affect stability at impact. Taper hosel area is hollow, allowing for more weight savings. Additional aramid internal blade cap helps impact durability and prolongs blade life. 

Warrior has also introduced the Dagger Taper Technology to the Widow hockey stick to offer a lower flex point than ever before with even more pop. The Dagger Taper keeps the hand area stiffer and allows the stick to flex lower in the shaft and blade area as well as in the upper handle. This loads and releases the shaft and blade together for more flex and better pop on slap shots, snap shots and wrist shots.

  5. Great stick, but the blades are weak. I've broken two in the same place on both and work at a retail store that sells them and have seen many come in on warranty with the same issue.
