Warrior Super Novium wants your hardest shot
Warrior's new flagship pairs its lightest, strongest build to date with a stiffer Bevel Taper aimed at pure shot velocity.
The Warrior Super Novium sits at the top of Warrior's stick line, and it is built around one idea: get lighter and stronger without losing the snap that puts pucks on net. If you are a shooter who loads the stick hard and wants energy back fast, this is the model Warrior is pointing at you.
The headline is the construction. Warrior wraps the stick in what it calls Minimus Carbon 25, a flat, spread tow weave that reduces fiber crimp so the layup is thinner and lighter while resisting deformation. Under that sits RL199, a lightweight design that adds higher grade fibers Warrior says are 40 percent higher in modulus and tensile strength. Together they make what the brand calls its lightest and strongest construction to date. The blade uses a FuelCore T polymer core wrapped in high grade carbon and a Minimus Carbon 25 weave, built for pop and durability.
What actually shapes your shot is the taper. The Super Novium uses a Bevel Taper that is stiffer through the taper section, which Warrior links to increased control and improved shot velocity. Paired with a mid kick profile, the intent is clear: a stick for players who take a beat to load up and want a hard, repeatable release rather than a quick flick.
Who is it for? Skaters who live off wristers and one timers and are willing to pay flagship money for the lightest option Warrior makes. Touch passers and cycle players will find plenty here too, but the design leans toward the shooter.
On the details: senior flex options are 65, 75, and 85. Warrior lists a suggested price of 359.99 USD, though several retailers have carried it on sale well below that, and stock moves in and out, so check current listings before you commit. Retailers list the weight around 331 grams in an 85 flex, and Warrior markets it as its lightest build ever.
