The Bauer Proto2 2025 is built for players wanting maximum performance in a featherweight mid-kick package, while the Warrior Novium 2 Pro 2024 targets versatile players seeking reliable mid-kick performance at a lower price point.
Verdict: Pick the Proto2 if you're a performance-focused player who wants the lightest possible mid-kick stick and needs specific flex options like 65 or 77. The boron fiber construction delivers superior feel despite the higher cost. Pick the Novium 2 Pro if you want solid mid-kick performance without paying premium prices and can work with 75 or 85 flex. The $60 savings gets you 95% of the performance.
