The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and offers a much wider curve selection, while the LX3 Pro is way more affordable and gives you a faster low-kick release if you live off wrist shots and snap shots. The kick point difference is the real decision here.

Pick the Bauer Proto2

  • You want a mid-kick stick that works for slap shots, wristers, and one-timers equally
  • Shaving grams matters to you and you want one of the lightest mid-kicks available
  • You need P28, P88, P90TM, or P92 blade options

Pick the Warrior Alpha LX3 Pro

  • You rely heavily on quick-release wrist shots and snap shots from the perimeter
  • You want to save $40 CAD and get a more durable blade that holds up longer
  • A round shaft feels better in your hands than a square one
