I had the same reaction as you. I got the LX pro coming from the Hyperlite. Very minimal effort to shoot 100% harder. This really is one of those sticks that I use and it just launches rockets. Then when I actually try to shoot hard, it just has a brutal release to it. Bar downs seem to just be violent when they come off the bar into the net. It really is one of the sleeper sticks of the year. I’ve never used better so far.
Totally right! Warrior is really on the outside in marketing and getting its stick into the hands of the right people and showing how good this stick is. I would love to see improvement in grip for the next gen of it but maintain the current specs and performance. If they did this I would have rated it a 20/20 but the grip was its weak spot. Fixable with wax or some tape but annoying a bit
@@goatsonapost I absolutely love it. Mines pro stock and dressed as a DX so its a bit customized (bought it off a pro-stock website). The shaft is thinner than a senior, and it came in at extended height. I cut it down and it is still incredible. Everything boomer said rings true, best stick of the year no question
@@benlestage1447 I got to test it out the other day at a PHL. It is really solid and I could game it (previously gamed the DX SL). For my style of shooting the AS4 pro won out but again, this is all subjective.
Just got back into hockey after 25 years off. Picked these up from clearance sales for $129. My first composite stick I've owned. We only used wood sticks where you had to use a blow torch to make a curve back when I was a kid..
Hey Mr Beer League Bum. I just purchased the LX Pro at Sportchek for 50% off. After watching all your videos and seeing this stick still at the top of your respect list. I had to get this OG stick before it sailed into the sunset of discontinued without trying it. I was wondering if you could give me a durability update. I don't usually have a problem with breaking sticks anyways. Keep up the great work 💪
Nice I also picked up one at 50% off Rock it all the time. I haven’t had any durability issues with mine that are out of the ordinary they seem to hold up Well.
Saw this stick at the shop for 200 a few months ago, they had so many, and I bought one. A few weeks later, they started selling them for 150, overall I think it's a great stick.
Good stuff! I’m not to familiar with prostock hope it is not a repaint. I’m always concerned with people using different sticks and buying them retail. I’m thiking of picking up a few Lxpros prostock as well but doing a bit of research to make sure those players actually use the build. Let me know how it is
I just bought a warrior alpha lx20, the step down stick from what you reviewed here, but so far it has been quite a let down. Doesn't shoot anywhere near as well as the ccm jetspeed ft3 pro I replaced. I was stunned when you voted this stick your best of the year. I would have spent the extra cash to buy the warrior alpha lx pro if I saw this video a few days ago. The weight was nearly the same for the lx20 version so I opted to save a few bucks. I think it would be great if you could review a few of the less expensive models of sticks (around $200 us) so we can know how they compare. Also, happy new year to you! Nice videos overall!
Thanks! Yes I will start doing lower price point sticks come 2022. This was more of my launch and had to start with top gear. The ft3 pro will be far better than a step down price point stick even the LX. Which is probably your issue. The ft3 pro was one of the best sticks ever ( minus durbality) I have a review on it from early days on my channel where I sing it’s praises. I appreciate the feedback and the ideas everyone is giving me
The alpha lx20 is really light weight and balanced. I weighed the 75 flex uncut 63" stick at 398 grams without the plastic plug. When I cut 4.5 inches off I had a 382 gram stick. Tapped stick is 406 grams. Very light for $199 usd. This stick feels very stiff for a 75 flex. I wonder if warrior measures the flex at 60 or 63 inches? Since I own it, I will give it more testing.
@@glenn2494 once you cut something very hard to determine how it should of flexed and felt for sure. I didn’t notice stiffness much as the lxpro loaded easier but we are talking about 2 different sticks slightly so hard to say completely. But that is impressive for that price point!
@@glenn2494 as BLB said, when you cut 4.5” off a stick it dramatically added stiffness profile to the stick. So, a 75 flex will play like an 85 flex if not a 95 flex.
I would say if you take a look at some NHL teams half of the guys on the team are using the LX Pro but in custom colors so there isn’t any neon yellow on it instead it’s more of a darker red and darker blue. That’s why I picked one up, definitely the best stick of the year.
I just ordered 2 of these that were made for Ryan O’Reilly in 110flex for around $225 total for a 2 pack. Really looking forward to testing them out in games after watching this video.
We seem to have very similar tastes in hockey sticks so for the first time I went out and bought this last night without testing it in the shooting gallery. It seemed like a very nice stick. I agree, it shoots very well. The only thing I don't like about it is there is something about how clunky it is. This is kind of hard for me to explain. I would say just hold the stick up waist high in front of you with one hand and let the blade drop to the ice. It's that feeling when it hits the ground. Almost feels like an old clunky wooden stick hitting the ice. Like I said, hard for me to explain but I just noticed it right away. Overall though very nice stick and I agree with you on all your points about the stick.
I know what you mean it’s very lively material feel. I think it’s the thin construction. But I know what you mean hard to explain. I played with it again yesterday and noticed it more. But man the shots are just unreal. With zero effort. Had a goal with a quick snap shot top corner and was still amazed but comes off so fast. The goal will be in my next vid on the rezztech review. Keep us posted on how the stick is for you
Great content! I rocked the Alpha DX which was Ok but, will give the LX a shot. Question- do you cut down your sticks or go with the standard length? Reason I ask is that I chop mine down an inch and go with a 75 flex, but it plays like an 85. Was just curious if you chop your twig and adjust the flex spec.
I use the sticks at Bauer’s stock length and the lx was stock length. I have to chop ccm down by 2 inches. So my Bauer’s are true to flex. Ccm is slightly stiffer. Appreciate the comment. Glad you enjoyed it
@@glenn2494 yeah I don’t like cutting for that reason. So always keep stock but the ccm is just to tall so have to cut slightly but I don’t go much on those. But I like that I can use Bauer and warrior as is
Have you used an Alpha DX? I have a QX (and Trigger 3D), and am wondering how much better the LX is over the DX, and how much better those are over the QX.
surpised but the durability on the lxpro is excellent. lasted through alot of beating. eventually broke but for me i usually kill sticks fast and this didnt die at all as expected
I use the Warrior ALPHA QX Grip Stick with a W88 blade pattern and I must say it is the best stick I have ever played with so far! Unfortunately the W88 pattern is hard to find over here.
Maybe 75 flex just loads up better for you than 85 and it contributes to a harder shot? Btw I still keep on rocking Bauer’s P14 curve, but finding pro stock with this curve is getting harder… What curve did you chose for the LX?
Usually in the past a 75 I over power on sticks and just have a weak shot. This was different for sure. P28 least I didn’t have to settle for an p88! Yeah that p14 man it’s so hard to find even with pros
What are your thoughts on the LX Pro vs the Sherwood Code TMP Pro? I found the LX Pro on sale for $179, the Code is a bit more, but a great stick. Thanks
Since u couldn’t find this stick in ur specs I would recommend looking on sideline swap because that’s where I got mine and my specs are 85 w28. Also would love to see u review some pro stock gloves
ThAnks yes a couple people mentioned side line so I’m going to check it out. Got a few things in works for some equipment and hopefully getting access to some stuff like prostock gloves. It’s a slow process to grow and do everything but I appreciate the feedback and ideas. Try and do as much as I can. :)
Max blades I have used once and didn’t like it. It’s such a minor change but feels like a paddle is hitting the puck and swing on your shot. I just don’t think that extra material is gonna do much if you don’t already have good hand eye and know where the puck is on your stick anyway and for the added odd feeling just prefer standard blades but of course that’s highly subjective
Tried almost every stick, the fly lite, trigger 6 pro, true catalyst PX, Géo, and had an ft4 pro, the lx pro by far beats them out, most powerful shot, most accurate out of all of them, just so good
Just ordered this stick to test it out. The only negatives I’ve heard from reviews on the stick is the durability but I only play once a week in men’s league so we’ll see how long it lasts.
I have been using it once a week in ice beer league and it’s held up. However I have another I use for roller hockey and the bottom of the blade is already starting to wear down. Could be the surface I play on. Shoots great and nice stick but no more durable than a $100 stick. Just lighter and more pop.
@@rashid1723 old warriors yes but I have had no issues with the Lxpro holding up and I destroy sticks. Especially in the 75 flex which I heavily bend. I’ve been impressed as back in the day warriors would last me a week
Love the content, thank you. Q for you. Want to pick up an LX as they are on sale. I want the w28 curve but they only have 75 flex, other option is W03 in 65 flex... thing is, I'm 5'5" and cut my sticks down, will the cut down LX in 75 flex be too hard to load in your opinion?
had to come back and comment! just picked up an alpha lx pro, pro stock. it has basketball textured grip and the actual tacky grip is so much better than the retail. interesting why the retail grip is so terrible.
Sex wax is the most tacky wax and works well. Never tried the Patrick cane idea, will when I get a second LX. I just added a bit to the shaft and seems to be perfect now after a few games.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews is it still one of your best shooting stick so far? I was going to buy all the ccm stick to see if we can see the difference in kickpoint but i bought the alpha lx pro instead of the ft4. Hope i like this stick since the hybrid seem to be my kickpoint
@@PrettyLolBoy007 I still think this produces the hardest of all shot types with the Ft4 pro a close second. The kick point feels great as a “mid low” best of both worlds
i actually have an DX pro stock that i really like but its too stiff. i bought it thinking it felt less stiff than it said (which is something i've noticed with other warrior sticks ive used). i just started using it again because the pop is so great on it. So far my favorite stick is the FT3. (i always buy 1 price point below top end). its lasted a long time and the weight distribution and balance is just perfect. i have other sticks that are same weight and even lighter, but don't actually feel it because they aren't as well balanced as the FT3 (most noticeable area is in the bottom taper/blade). i just bought the warrior LX30 because it was only $150 and it weighed in about 410 grams but since using it i feel like the blade opens up when im shooting and i cant get a accurate or hard shot off. great review though.
Thanks appreciate the support and comment the ft3 line was insane. The Ft3 pro just wasn’t durable enough. They fixed that with ft4 slightly but it’s still not as durable as some top end sticks. I have not yet used the lower tier price points on these lines but it’s in the plans for the future to compare them. The Lx line is a bit stiffer as I used a 75 flex and usually use 85 and it was solid. I’ll eventually pick up an 85 and update this review.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews i thought the flex rating was pretty accurate. i really like the feel and balance of the stick, its incredibly light. but you are 100% right about the grip- there is none! haha. i had to use the tape stick method and try and put some grip on it. such a bummer too because it would be perfect otherwise. i wonder if they sacrificed a good thick grip coating to save on weight?
@@shogekimura yah I thought so as well. Still have my 75 flex and would love to try an 85. The grip I know! Just aweful eh. Almost a perfect stick but nope lol.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I don’t love the mid kick by NN but I’m obsessed with the low kick release. Lightning fast. If you are a low kick guy get the same spec flex. If you are a mid kick guy, go up 5 flex and get a low kick (like an 82 instead of a 77). Most don’t know if you email the company you can get in between flexes (increment of 5). Place order, email customer service, say I want an 72 instead of 67, or 82 instead of 77, or whatever and they’ll do it. I’m obsessed. And I have all the $300 sticks from Bauer ccm warrior and NONAME is better, add the fact it’s 1/2 the cost, and it’s amazing
oh damn your from vancouver huh :| i go to the hockeyshop too :) i wish warrior improved the grip on their sticks ... ccm and bauer got this down pat - you said you put grip on it? how?
Nice local guy! Yep hockey shop is the only place to get gear around here for selection’ maybe pro hockey life but man that’s far drive. I use “sex wax” actually it’s probably the tackiest wax and helps a lot. However gets on your gloves so some may not like that.
I currently have: FT4 pro, Trigger 6 Pro, Alpha LX pro and the Nexus (debating the sling next). The Alpha LX pro is a great stick no doubt. I'm torn between the Trigger 6 and the Nexus however. Bauer sticks (I agree with what you said) are missing some pieces...the best thing about a Bauer stick is the feel of the blade with the puck and balance point. The CCM sticks have really stepped up their game...maybe I need to put my Alpha LX back into play! Good review.
Sounds like you also collect sticks lol. I was really not a fan of the sling. Some seem to like it but I felt it to be really over rated and the blade wierd and unable to do what intended on regular shots. The nexus geo was one of the first sticks I reviewed and was much better than a sling. I still am not a fan of the 5 sides though. Rotates in my hand for some reason. Good luck let me know what you start rocking!
i can confirm its a great overall stick, however i actually just recently picked up a ccm trigger 5 pro and like my shot was instantly something else. it literally blew my mind bc i thought i had the best stick lol i have no idea what it would be but maybe the 85 flex on the alpha lx pro is too much or the w03 curve isnt for me, but i suggest if you can to try a variety of these sticks out and switch up curve and flex. it definitely beats out the hyperlite and other sticks but that trigger is something else man
Trigger 6 pro is a recent stick I have tested, and it’s a great stick as well, but the new 6 is very stiff to load. For a low kick stick it requires great shooting technique. The 5 I used last year and broke the blade very quickly so I can’t remember how well of a stick it was. However I also had an ft3 at the time and that I found was a better stick than the 5. In the end it’s what fits your game and shooting style best. A lot of people will have differing opinions and if you found your stick that’s all that matters. For me, I test a lot of sticks. Back to back so have a really good comparison and see changes period by period and try and provide the best feed back. Thanks for the comment :)
@@NCY0131 for sure and that’s the way it’s gonna be for most. I just give my best opinions on performance the sticks provide not what’s best for your style etc.
So you said that your shots were super explosive which can be from the blade mostly I guess, but as the blade starts to degrade as the stick gets more use out of it, are the shots still this powerful, or is the explosiveness just with the brand new blade.
The lxpro will whip out faster than an Ft4. Watch my video on boomers stick tier list I touch on it a bit. As that was a long term follow up. But I would say the loss of pop was in the shaft not the blade. As quick snappers are still solid with a few month old lxpro. The lxpro is durable enough that it lasted long enough to whip out a bit where most sticks I use break before that point in full testing. So good and bad I guess
are you sure having a 75 flex wasn't at least a partial factor in how your shots were coming off? You sure that having an 85 flex would be even better? Have you tried 75 flex in say the FT5 or Trigger 7 etc?
This video is quite old. Many of my videos have 85 and 75 flex sticks. Depending on what I was feeling in Lxpro, ft4 etc. I’m currently in 75 due to wrist issues. But used to rock 85 in an Lxpro and I preferred the 75 way after this video. My fav flex now is 75. Easier load still good recal. If it was just a slapper comp I would go 85 but 75 is more versatile
Warrior has significant issues with its go-to-market. They use VARs (value added resellers) instead of going direct to stores. This means that they rely on the VAR for marketing and education of the product. This means you have to rely on the VAR for everything and you have no direct rep at Warrior if you have issues with a product, accounting, marketing, customer service, etc. While some VARs are good, there are many that are awful and do a terrible job of "selling" the product to stores. The other thing Warrior does that many stores dislike is they will sell direct to teams, for example, there are a few teams in ACHA D1 that use Warrior and they cut out the stores and sell direct. CCM and Bauer rely on the stores to handle team sales. This cuts into a stores profitability and relationship with team sales. We sell a ton of Warriors sticks. The Alpha LX Pro is the best stick they have made. I previously disliked all Warrior sticks released after the QR1, so it's been about 5-6 years since I thought they had a really good product. The LX Pro is really great except the durability could be better.
Exactly my thoughts and appreciate the marketing aspects makes total sense now. When I asked my hockey shop what he had on this stick they were like I dunno there is like 1-2 in the corner lol so clearly an issue
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews yeah, likely one difference is that I don't do a lot of slap shots in games. I bought a 3 pack of QRLs and I still have two of them. The one that did break, after several seasons/practices, started to crack/split right in the bottom middle of the blade. Funnily, I probably played my last season with it broken, but couldn't tell because that season, somehow, my tape job stayed pristine, so I never undid it until after the season.
@@mhicaoidh1 holy cow that’s insane! I taped my stick yesterday and got smashed up with a skate and was like man I just did this! Hate taping my stick lol. I’m actually gonna pick up a qr5 pro this weekend see how it is
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I know, right? Usually what happens to me ... tape up a stick, and someone steps on it the next game. I look forward to hearing what you think about the QR5.
Just recently got another and I’m just using sex wax brand. Stickiest. However it gets all over everything and it’s a pain. Guitar slinger hockey did a video on using baseball bat grip but I haven’t tried it but says works well
Okay dude, here goes! My AS4 Pro finally gave up on me but didn’t break. It became a floppy noodle, but had a great run. I’m heading in to get a new stick tomorrow 3/17. I was actually playing around with the idea of an FT4 pro or warrior LX pro. Do you still recommend the warrior lx pro over all else? If you think the FT4 pro is a better choice I’m gonna have to spend some time tracking one down, which I’d do, but the warrior is more accessible to me. Thoughts? Keep up the great work!
Hey man! Nice to hear from you. Ft4 pro I personally beleive is a better stick overall for power and consistency however I rated the lxpro higher because it was more durable and on a 350$ stick that does matter. The lx pro also has grip issues so you pick your pros and cons. Ft4 pro beat all round shooting stick, less durable. Lxpro great shooting stick more durable but grip is garbage.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews thanks for the insight. I was just told the FT4 is now out of production since the ft5 is on its way. Of course I can probably track an FT4 down, but I have $60 store credit at the place I want to go, but they have no inventory. My choices besides the lx is the catalyst PX or maybe I could order another AS4 pro. Our play style is different. I’m a passer and have a heavy wrist shot. Not much for snappers or clappers. I value puck control over most other things but not enough to use a Bauer stick. Lol. What would you do if you were me? The LX, PX or AS4 pro (not sure this is available anymore) to get my $60 credit or pay full price for an FT4 pro somewhere else?
@@mongillohockey I still go lxpro then if you can get it with the store credit. I still prefer it over the as4 despite that being a great stick but I think you will find it’s easier to load for more power and easier on the hands than the as4 corners. I would switch it up and see if you like it. Just grab some wax for grip unless you’re a no grip type of guy. Yeah no Ft4 pros anywhere until the 5 now I’m pretty sad and I have no Lxpros at my local shop either I’ll probably be rocking an as4 until the new releases when all these are done
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews Alright, I’m on my way to the shop to shoot the LX pro and some other offerings. I’m pretty confident that I’ll leave with the Warrior but I’ll let you know either way, since I’m skating tonight. On and on a side note. I saw you’re planning on reviewing a True AX9. I happen to have a ton of hours logged with that stick. I’ll be curious as to your thoughts on it. Here’s my thoughts. Picture a Bauer Nexus 2N Pro that shoots harder and is more accurate. Just my thoughts.
@@mongillohockey I actually sold it. Decent stick but felt wasn’t worth keeping with how many I have. Plus it’s old so a review wouldn’t be worth much. Since this channel is on pace with current releases now I’ll be mostly sticking to current gear as it comes. Keep me posted on the stick choice and how it turns out.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I've been watching a lot of videos on sticks and it seems to be a running theme that the expensive sticks break or the blade falls apart quickly. If you're paying 250+ for a stick you'd think it would last longer than a season, or from what i keep reading longer than a month. Why is this acceptable? Are the cheaper sticks more durable?
@@asdfkhieee high end 300 plus dollar sticks are built for performance. You can’t have shot power, release, weight and durability all high performance so something always gives. Yes mid tier or lower stick price points are more durable but they are heavier and lack the same shot power ease of release. Everytime you up one durability will fall. It’s best to decide on two things. Do you want performance but understand they are not durable and expensive? New top end stick. Do you want durability but understand it won’t have same “pop” and weight. Mid Tier stick. Or are you ok finding some nice deals on last year or two year old models so you get performance but the cost is substantially less.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I will take you at your word my man. You are a better player than me! I use a 55 flex because I like them whippy! Look forward to the warrior (you are right about one thing for sure, the big hockey shop in the UK doesn't even stock them! They order them in! So yeah, warrior need to sort their shit)
@@phillipthompson5027 yep dusty corner of the hockey shop in the shadows lol. So I went with 75 flex, and usually I use 85 and as soon as I drop to 70s my shot suffers as I over power the stick and it’s to much of a noddle. Shot was still insane with the less flex and that tells me a lot about the stick in general. Made for shooting. Good luck let me know how it is for you
Hockey influencers looking at the warrior alpha lx pro:pathetic Hockey influencers looking at the Bauer nexus adv sling:yeah best sticks ever the hole is so cool the color of the silver and black and green you should buy this
That doesn’t mean they’re marketing their sticks Bauer is especially good at this every person influencer on the planet has one of their sticks and they talk about it all the time where you should really take a page of that book get it out there to the general public and more will be talked about the stickes amazing
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I wasn't referring to their marketing. I was responding to you saying that you couldn't even think of one pro who uses the alpha.

@@brendansmith2997 it’s really bad. One of Bauer’s worst releases. They are discontinuing it because the supreme line has been on the downward trend for awhile now. If you want a mid kick for power go as4 not ultrasonic
@@brendansmith2997 no prob. Remember just my opinions :) I never did an ultrasonic video as I used it when it came out and sold it after 2 days I was like this is a no lol then started my channel and was like I should do stick reviews 😎
The trigger 6 pro recoils very well, however it’s hard to load, stiff and the taper makes it not great for all types of shots. The Lxpro is better in all those regards. Of course sticks always subjective but I base it on shot power, release, feel/ weight and durability to rank all sticks. Reason is I used all of them all the time unlike most.

Yeah! Glad you like it!
The blade on this stick feels so awesome
It does come off so crazy hard and stiff. Was not expecting it
Happy I watched this and went with the LX Pro. Great review of an awesome stick
Appreciate that. You think warrior would give me commission after how amazing of a review I gave lol ;)
I just bought a game used pavelski lx pro! Even more excited after watching this vid
Good stuff! I’m not to familiar with prostock hope it is not a repaint. I’m always concerned with people using different sticks and buying them retail. I’m thiking of picking up a few Lxpros prostock as well but doing a bit of research to make sure those players actually use the build. Let me know how it is
I just bought a warrior alpha lx20, the step down stick from what you reviewed here, but so far it has been quite a let down. Doesn't shoot anywhere near as well as the ccm jetspeed ft3 pro I replaced. I was stunned when you voted this stick your best of the year. I would have spent the extra cash to buy the warrior alpha lx pro if I saw this video a few days ago. The weight was nearly the same for the lx20 version so I opted to save a few bucks. I think it would be great if you could review a few of the less expensive models of sticks (around $200 us) so we can know how they compare. Also, happy new year to you! Nice videos overall!
Thanks! Yes I will start doing lower price point sticks come 2022. This was more of my launch and had to start with top gear. The ft3 pro will be far better than a step down price point stick even the LX. Which is probably your issue. The ft3 pro was one of the best sticks ever ( minus durbality) I have a review on it from early days on my channel where I sing it’s praises. I appreciate the feedback and the ideas everyone is giving me
Also happy new year!
The alpha lx20 is really light weight and balanced. I weighed the 75 flex uncut 63" stick at 398 grams without the plastic plug. When I cut 4.5 inches off I had a 382 gram stick. Tapped stick is 406 grams. Very light for $199 usd. This stick feels very stiff for a 75 flex. I wonder if warrior measures the flex at 60 or 63 inches? Since I own it, I will give it more testing.
@@glenn2494 once you cut something very hard to determine how it should of flexed and felt for sure. I didn’t notice stiffness much as the lxpro loaded easier but we are talking about 2 different sticks slightly so hard to say completely. But that is impressive for that price point!
@@glenn2494 as BLB said, when you cut 4.5” off a stick it dramatically added stiffness profile to the stick. So, a 75 flex will play like an 85 flex if not a 95 flex.
I would say if you take a look at some NHL teams half of the guys on the team are using the LX Pro but in custom colors so there isn’t any neon yellow on it instead it’s more of a darker red and darker blue. That’s why I picked one up, definitely the best stick of the year.
Totally agree! Needs more love
And some pretty good players, at that. Guentzel and Draisaitl, for example.
@@andrewconley2119 they know what’s up !
Pumped i finally found one of these in my curve Have not got it yet cant wait
Hopefully hit a sweet deal as it’s on clearence everywhere
Yes it was available but w88's were sold out most places. Lucky i found one and then none left
@@jaipaulsethi6880 nice, you will enjoy it especially for the price
I just ordered 2 of these that were made for Ryan O’Reilly in 110flex for around $225 total for a 2 pack. Really looking forward to testing them out in games after watching this video.
If they are actually Lxpro builds you will like them but pros sticks always concern me they are retail build sticks
We seem to have very similar tastes in hockey sticks so for the first time I went out and bought this last night without testing it in the shooting gallery. It seemed like a very nice stick. I agree, it shoots very well. The only thing I don't like about it is there is something about how clunky it is. This is kind of hard for me to explain. I would say just hold the stick up waist high in front of you with one hand and let the blade drop to the ice. It's that feeling when it hits the ground. Almost feels like an old clunky wooden stick hitting the ice. Like I said, hard for me to explain but I just noticed it right away. Overall though very nice stick and I agree with you on all your points about the stick.
I know what you mean it’s very lively material feel. I think it’s the thin construction. But I know what you mean hard to explain. I played with it again yesterday and noticed it more. But man the shots are just unreal. With zero effort. Had a goal with a quick snap shot top corner and was still amazed but comes off so fast. The goal will be in my next vid on the rezztech review. Keep us posted on how the stick is for you
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews yeah my first shot, a wrister, and it ripped. Keep up the great reviews and happy new year!
@@ARyanCoke happy new year!
Great content! I rocked the Alpha DX which was Ok but, will give the LX a shot.
Question- do you cut down your sticks or go with the standard length? Reason I ask is that I chop mine down an inch and go with a 75 flex, but it plays like an 85. Was just curious if you chop your twig and adjust the flex spec.
I use the sticks at Bauer’s stock length and the lx was stock length. I have to chop ccm down by 2 inches. So my Bauer’s are true to flex. Ccm is slightly stiffer. Appreciate the comment. Glad you enjoyed it
Your stock length is 60 inches? I was thinking about same thing while watching your videos. Cutting the stick affects the kick point.
@@glenn2494 yeah I don’t like cutting for that reason. So always keep stock but the ccm is just to tall so have to cut slightly but I don’t go much on those. But I like that I can use Bauer and warrior as is
Have you used an Alpha DX? I have a QX (and Trigger 3D), and am wondering how much better the LX is over the DX, and how much better those are over the QX.
I hadn’t no but I heard the original alphas were not great. The Lxpro is one of the best sticks I’ve personally used.
I might get this if I like it when I'm going to try it in the shop and it's available in 65 flex sr which I really like.
It’s unreal totally unexpected
Review on the Qre10?
ill add, interesting enough my hockey shop i go to had a row of those more than the LX pro
awesome as always. 2 questions. 1. two months later how is the durability? 2. how does the 75 flex compare to other 75 flex sticks?
surpised but the durability on the lxpro is excellent. lasted through alot of beating. eventually broke but for me i usually kill sticks fast and this didnt die at all as expected
also for the 75 is stiffer than others for sure.
I use the Warrior ALPHA QX Grip Stick with a W88 blade pattern and I must say it is the best stick I have ever played with so far! Unfortunately the W88 pattern is hard to find over here.
That’s dope! Really? Usually those are everywhere for most companies that’s tough
Maybe 75 flex just loads up better for you than 85 and it contributes to a harder shot?
Btw I still keep on rocking Bauer’s P14 curve, but finding pro stock with this curve is getting harder…
What curve did you chose for the LX?
Usually in the past a 75 I over power on sticks and just have a weak shot. This was different for sure. P28 least I didn’t have to settle for an p88! Yeah that p14 man it’s so hard to find even with pros
What are your thoughts on the LX Pro vs the Sherwood Code TMP Pro? I found the LX Pro on sale for $179, the Code is a bit more, but a great stick. Thanks
Both are great sticks but the Lxpro still tops it
Ok, thanks
Since u couldn’t find this stick in ur specs I would recommend looking on sideline swap because that’s where I got mine and my specs are 85 w28. Also would love to see u review some pro stock gloves
ThAnks yes a couple people mentioned side line so I’m going to check it out. Got a few things in works for some equipment and hopefully getting access to some stuff like prostock gloves. It’s a slow process to grow and do everything but I appreciate the feedback and ideas. Try and do as much as I can. :)
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews appreciate the response. U definitely deserve more subs as ur content is as real as it gets. Keep it up
@@swedishgoaliephenom2252 thanks so much. It takes time to build in patient :) I’ll make sure I keep up the good content!
I bought this stick in 85 with a W28. Can not wait to test…and i think about the W03Max - what your opinion to the W03MAX?
Max blades I have used once and didn’t like it. It’s such a minor change but feels like a paddle is hitting the puck and swing on your shot. I just don’t think that extra material is gonna do much if you don’t already have good hand eye and know where the puck is on your stick anyway and for the added odd feeling just prefer standard blades but of course that’s highly subjective
Tried almost every stick, the fly lite, trigger 6 pro, true catalyst PX, Géo, and had an ft4 pro, the lx pro by far beats them out, most powerful shot, most accurate out of all of them, just so good
Glad you like it it’s pretty boss. Broke mine last night :( lasted forever
Just ordered this stick to test it out. The only negatives I’ve heard from reviews on the stick is the durability but I only play once a week in men’s league so we’ll see how long it lasts.
That’s surprising I have yet to brake mine and I am really hard on sticks. Keep me posted
I’ve heard a ton of complaints about the durability too? How has the stick been holding up since getting it?
I have been using it once a week in ice beer league and it’s held up. However I have another I use for roller hockey and the bottom of the blade is already starting to wear down. Could be the surface I play on. Shoots great and nice stick but no more durable than a $100 stick. Just lighter and more pop.
Appreciate it! I’ll probably pick one up soon!
@@rashid1723 old warriors yes but I have had no issues with the Lxpro holding up and I destroy sticks. Especially in the 75 flex which I heavily bend. I’ve been impressed as back in the day warriors would last me a week
Love the content, thank you. Q for you. Want to pick up an LX as they are on sale. I want the w28 curve but they only have 75 flex, other option is W03 in 65 flex... thing is, I'm 5'5" and cut my sticks down, will the cut down LX in 75 flex be too hard to load in your opinion?
The 75 will probably be to stiff yes
Oh nooo, I thought I was done buying sticks then I watch this review 😂
lol yahim always "done" buying sticks too and thats how they get you with the next one haha
had to come back and comment! just picked up an alpha lx pro, pro stock. it has basketball textured grip and the actual tacky grip is so much better than the retail. interesting why the retail grip is so terrible.
If they don’t fix this on lx2 it’s a huge fail
What did you use to add your grip? Reversed hockey tape like patrick kane does?
Sex wax is the most tacky wax and works well. Never tried the Patrick cane idea, will when I get a second LX. I just added a bit to the shaft and seems to be perfect now after a few games.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews is it still one of your best shooting stick so far? I was going to buy all the ccm stick to see if we can see the difference in kickpoint but i bought the alpha lx pro instead of the ft4. Hope i like this stick since the hybrid seem to be my kickpoint
@@PrettyLolBoy007 I still think this produces the hardest of all shot types with the Ft4 pro a close second. The kick point feels great as a “mid low” best of both worlds
i actually have an DX pro stock that i really like but its too stiff. i bought it thinking it felt less stiff than it said (which is something i've noticed with other warrior sticks ive used). i just started using it again because the pop is so great on it. So far my favorite stick is the FT3. (i always buy 1 price point below top end). its lasted a long time and the weight distribution and balance is just perfect. i have other sticks that are same weight and even lighter, but don't actually feel it because they aren't as well balanced as the FT3 (most noticeable area is in the bottom taper/blade). i just bought the warrior LX30 because it was only $150 and it weighed in about 410 grams but since using it i feel like the blade opens up when im shooting and i cant get a accurate or hard shot off. great review though.
Thanks appreciate the support and comment the ft3 line was insane. The Ft3 pro just wasn’t durable enough. They fixed that with ft4 slightly but it’s still not as durable as some top end sticks. I have not yet used the lower tier price points on these lines but it’s in the plans for the future to compare them. The Lx line is a bit stiffer as I used a 75 flex and usually use 85 and it was solid. I’ll eventually pick up an 85 and update this review.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews i thought the flex rating was pretty accurate. i really like the feel and balance of the stick, its incredibly light. but you are 100% right about the grip- there is none! haha. i had to use the tape stick method and try and put some grip on it. such a bummer too because it would be perfect otherwise. i wonder if they sacrificed a good thick grip coating to save on weight?
@@shogekimura yah I thought so as well. Still have my 75 flex and would love to try an 85. The grip I know! Just aweful eh. Almost a perfect stick but nope lol.
I love the stick line but still cant find anything to beat my low kick NONAME sticks- and im normally a variable to mid player.
Never used one of those will have to try!
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I don’t love the mid kick by NN but I’m obsessed with the low kick release. Lightning fast. If you are a low kick guy get the same spec flex. If you are a mid kick guy, go up 5 flex and get a low kick (like an 82 instead of a 77). Most don’t know if you email the company you can get in between flexes (increment of 5). Place order, email customer service, say I want an 72 instead of 67, or 82 instead of 77, or whatever and they’ll do it. I’m obsessed. And I have all the $300 sticks from Bauer ccm warrior and NONAME is better, add the fact it’s 1/2 the cost, and it’s amazing
@@byronbrown5838 interesting I’ll add to the list to try appreciate that
oh damn your from vancouver huh :| i go to the hockeyshop too :) i wish warrior improved the grip on their sticks ... ccm and bauer got this down pat - you said you put grip on it? how?
Nice local guy! Yep hockey shop is the only place to get gear around here for selection’ maybe pro hockey life but man that’s far drive. I use “sex wax” actually it’s probably the tackiest wax and helps a lot. However gets on your gloves so some may not like that.
I currently have: FT4 pro, Trigger 6 Pro, Alpha LX pro and the Nexus (debating the sling next). The Alpha LX pro is a great stick no doubt. I'm torn between the Trigger 6 and the Nexus however. Bauer sticks (I agree with what you said) are missing some pieces...the best thing about a Bauer stick is the feel of the blade with the puck and balance point. The CCM sticks have really stepped up their game...maybe I need to put my Alpha LX back into play! Good review.
Sounds like you also collect sticks lol. I was really not a fan of the sling. Some seem to like it but I felt it to be really over rated and the blade wierd and unable to do what intended on regular shots. The nexus geo was one of the first sticks I reviewed and was much better than a sling. I still am not a fan of the 5 sides though. Rotates in my hand for some reason. Good luck let me know what you start rocking!
i can confirm its a great overall stick, however i actually just recently picked up a ccm trigger 5 pro and like my shot was instantly something else. it literally blew my mind bc i thought i had the best stick lol i have no idea what it would be but maybe the 85 flex on the alpha lx pro is too much or the w03 curve isnt for me, but i suggest if you can to try a variety of these sticks out and switch up curve and flex. it definitely beats out the hyperlite and other sticks but that trigger is something else man
Trigger 6 pro is a recent stick I have tested, and it’s a great stick as well, but the new 6 is very stiff to load. For a low kick stick it requires great shooting technique. The 5 I used last year and broke the blade very quickly so I can’t remember how well of a stick it was. However I also had an ft3 at the time and that I found was a better stick than the 5. In the end it’s what fits your game and shooting style best. A lot of people will have differing opinions and if you found your stick that’s all that matters. For me, I test a lot of sticks. Back to back so have a really good comparison and see changes period by period and try and provide the best feed back. Thanks for the comment :)
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews yeah we also have different taste, i definitely like no grip best.. hate the maple syrup they put on sticks nowadays
@@NCY0131 for sure and that’s the way it’s gonna be for most. I just give my best opinions on performance the sticks provide not what’s best for your style etc.
So you said that your shots were super explosive which can be from the blade mostly I guess, but as the blade starts to degrade as the stick gets more use out of it, are the shots still this powerful, or is the explosiveness just with the brand new blade.
The lxpro will whip out faster than an Ft4. Watch my video on boomers stick tier list I touch on it a bit. As that was a long term follow up. But I would say the loss of pop was in the shaft not the blade. As quick snappers are still solid with a few month old lxpro. The lxpro is durable enough that it lasted long enough to whip out a bit where most sticks I use break before that point in full testing. So good and bad I guess
are you sure having a 75 flex wasn't at least a partial factor in how your shots were coming off? You sure that having an 85 flex would be even better? Have you tried 75 flex in say the FT5 or Trigger 7 etc?
This video is quite old. Many of my videos have 85 and 75 flex sticks. Depending on what I was feeling in Lxpro, ft4 etc. I’m currently in 75 due to wrist issues. But used to rock 85 in an Lxpro and I preferred the 75 way after this video. My fav flex now is 75. Easier load still good recal.
If it was just a slapper comp I would go 85 but 75 is more versatile
Good to know. Those flex calculators I feel are way off. Most ppl would probably benefit going down 10 flex or so. @@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews
@@longdog33 yes usually this is the case especially for rec hockey players. Way to many people rocking 85-100 that cannot flex their sticks.
are these stick a little stiffer then a standard? i normally like a 70 flex but i was thinking about going with a 65 flex in this ?
If you can stay senior that’s fine but if you have to go intermediate I wouldn’t changes a lot about how the stick performs.
what do you like better, this, or the rekker element one?
Check my tier lists that’s how I rank sticks this is the top
Warrior has significant issues with its go-to-market. They use VARs (value added resellers) instead of going direct to stores. This means that they rely on the VAR for marketing and education of the product. This means you have to rely on the VAR for everything and you have no direct rep at Warrior if you have issues with a product, accounting, marketing, customer service, etc. While some VARs are good, there are many that are awful and do a terrible job of "selling" the product to stores. The other thing Warrior does that many stores dislike is they will sell direct to teams, for example, there are a few teams in ACHA D1 that use Warrior and they cut out the stores and sell direct. CCM and Bauer rely on the stores to handle team sales. This cuts into a stores profitability and relationship with team sales. We sell a ton of Warriors sticks. The Alpha LX Pro is the best stick they have made. I previously disliked all Warrior sticks released after the QR1, so it's been about 5-6 years since I thought they had a really good product. The LX Pro is really great except the durability could be better.
Exactly my thoughts and appreciate the marketing aspects makes total sense now. When I asked my hockey shop what he had on this stick they were like
I dunno there is like 1-2 in the corner lol so clearly an issue
Good video👍
Thank you appreciate that
I've had good luck with Warrior sticks in the past in terms of durability (QRLs and DXs). How did this one end up with the durability?
It was decent for a warrior but I did start blowing them up sooner than most. I’m actually gonna try and find one asap for summer playoffs
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews yeah, likely one difference is that I don't do a lot of slap shots in games. I bought a 3 pack of QRLs and I still have two of them. The one that did break, after several seasons/practices, started to crack/split right in the bottom middle of the blade.
Funnily, I probably played my last season with it broken, but couldn't tell because that season, somehow, my tape job stayed pristine, so I never undid it until after the season.
@@mhicaoidh1 holy cow that’s insane! I taped my stick yesterday and got smashed up with a skate and was like man I just did this! Hate taping my stick lol. I’m actually gonna pick up a qr5 pro this weekend see how it is
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I know, right? Usually what happens to me ... tape up a stick, and someone steps on it the next game.
I look forward to hearing what you think about the QR5.
@@mhicaoidh1 I went to grab one but no specs of mine Ended up with a trigger seven Pro though
Do you find wax is the best way to improve grip? Or is there a better method?
Just recently got another and I’m just using sex wax brand. Stickiest. However it gets all over everything and it’s a pain. Guitar slinger hockey did a video on using baseball bat grip but I haven’t tried it but says works well
Try a tape beater. That’s what I use and it’s a good fix. The sprays have to also be re applied with frequency and are a hassle.
Okay dude, here goes! My AS4 Pro finally gave up on me but didn’t break. It became a floppy noodle, but had a great run. I’m heading in to get a new stick tomorrow 3/17. I was actually playing around with the idea of an FT4 pro or warrior LX pro. Do you still recommend the warrior lx pro over all else? If you think the FT4 pro is a better choice I’m gonna have to spend some time tracking one down, which I’d do, but the warrior is more accessible to me. Thoughts? Keep up the great work!
Hey man! Nice to hear from you. Ft4 pro I personally beleive is a better stick overall for power and consistency however I rated the lxpro higher because it was more durable and on a 350$ stick that does matter. The lx pro also has grip issues so you pick your pros and cons. Ft4 pro beat all round shooting stick, less durable. Lxpro great shooting stick more durable but grip is garbage.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews thanks for the insight. I was just told the FT4 is now out of production since the ft5 is on its way. Of course I can probably track an FT4 down, but I have $60 store credit at the place I want to go, but they have no inventory. My choices besides the lx is the catalyst PX or maybe I could order another AS4 pro. Our play style is different. I’m a passer and have a heavy wrist shot. Not much for snappers or clappers. I value puck control over most other things but not enough to use a Bauer stick. Lol. What would you do if you were me? The LX, PX or AS4 pro (not sure this is available anymore) to get my $60 credit or pay full price for an FT4 pro somewhere else?
@@mongillohockey I still go lxpro then if you can get it with the store credit. I still prefer it over the as4 despite that being a great stick but I think you will find it’s easier to load for more power and easier on the hands than the as4 corners. I would switch it up and see if you like it. Just grab some wax for grip unless you’re a no grip type of guy. Yeah no Ft4 pros anywhere until the 5 now I’m pretty sad and I have no Lxpros at my local shop either I’ll probably be rocking an as4 until the new releases when all these are done
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews Alright, I’m on my way to the shop to shoot the LX pro and some other offerings. I’m pretty confident that I’ll leave with the Warrior but I’ll let you know either way, since I’m skating tonight. On and on a side note. I saw you’re planning on reviewing a True AX9. I happen to have a ton of hours logged with that stick. I’ll be curious as to your thoughts on it. Here’s my thoughts. Picture a Bauer Nexus 2N Pro that shoots harder and is more accurate. Just my thoughts.
@@mongillohockey I actually sold it. Decent stick but felt wasn’t worth keeping with how many I have. Plus it’s old so a review wouldn’t be worth much.

Whats the update on the duribility?
It was decent for a top tiered stick. Better than recent ft3
and ft4 and previous warriors
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I've been watching a lot of videos on sticks and it seems to be a running theme that the expensive sticks break or the blade falls apart quickly. If you're paying 250+ for a stick you'd think it would last longer than a season, or from what i keep reading longer than a month. Why is this acceptable? Are the cheaper sticks more durable?
@@asdfkhieee high end 300 plus dollar sticks are built for performance. You can’t have shot power, release, weight and durability all high performance so something always gives. Yes mid tier or lower stick price points are more durable but they are heavier and lack the same shot power ease of release. Everytime you up one durability will fall. It’s best to decide on two things. Do you want performance but understand they are not durable and expensive? New top end stick. Do you want durability but understand it won’t have same “pop” and weight. Mid Tier stick. Or are you ok finding some nice deals on last year or two year old models so you get performance but the cost is substantially less.
Yeah I use a warrior covert are 10 and it’s the best stick I’ve used yet

Prob this weekend but the advice is get the lx on sale
Is this stick seriously legit? I'm using a trigger 5 just now, if the warrior is worth the change I'm willing to go for it.
Just my opinion of course but I test a lot of sticks. I can’t put it down. Trigger 5 was ok, this loads way easier
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews I will take you at your word my man. You are a better player than me! I use a 55 flex because I like them whippy!

@@phillipthompson5027 yep dusty corner of the hockey shop in the shadows lol. So I went with 75 flex, and usually I use 85 and as soon as I drop to 70s my shot suffers as I over power the stick and it’s to much of a noddle.

Yeah no it’s the ccm ribcor trigger 6 pro 😎
Just picked up another trigger 6 as well, like to rotate it in once and awhile the ccms are quite good.
Yeah no it’s the ccm ribcor trigger 6 pro 😡
The trigger 6 pro recoils very well, however it’s hard to load, stiff and the taper makes it not great for all types of shots. The Lxpro is better in all those regards. Of course sticks always subjective but I base it on shot power, release, feel/ weight and durability to rank all sticks. Reason is I used all of them all the time unlike most.
Hey how has the stick held up a year later?
They aren’t greatly durable usually last me 45 days or so. Check out my durability video I touch on the Lxpro
