Overview
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.

Comments: I just got this stick and I love it! Huge fan of the soft touch matte finish makes moving your bottom hand around while stickhandling smooth and frictionlesss. Very light stick - feels like you are holding a handful of nothing! Excellent balance, shoots very accurately, dagger tapper flex is the truth! Love that warrior offers different curves than everyone elses that just matches and immatates each other. Got the zetterberg curve which is kind of like a P88 Lindros curve but with a lower lie, and flat bottom. Huge fan of this curve thinking of buying another to use for roller hockey. Gionta is an awesome curve too. I have that in a Dolomite and you would be surprised how well it plays at everything. I have a friend that plays D and has 3 gionta curve sticks, he loves it!

Comments: The best stick I've ever played with. The true one piece design gives you a superior feel for the puck on your blade. I've purchased warrior sticks for years and this has had the best durability by far, taking a beating and still maintaining optimal performance. A great stick for any player to give you a softer set of hands.

Comments: Very good stick, has a nice pop to it and you can really feel the puck on the blade. Very well balanced not too blade heavy like some sticks. Would recommend it to anyone
From: Josh
Comments: Very comfortable stick, well balanced. The dagger taper seemed to help me get my snap shots off quicker, and my slap shot seemed to have something extra on it. Puck handling was very comfortable. The only problem is that the blade broke at the heel right around the 30 day mark, which seems to happen with warrior sticks. If you play more than once a week this is a great stick to have.

Comments:Very light and well balanced. The 12" taper truly gives the stick an amazing feel while shooting. Wrist and snapshots really come off the stick with authority. Slapshots suffer just a little bit but I dont think that's the idea with this stick. Blade seems durable and stiff almost pingy at times. Looks wise the stick in my opinion is the nicest on the market. Well made , great looks , and performance to match
