Pick the Bauer Pulse

  • You want the lightest stick possible and 54g matters to your game
  • You like Bauer blade patterns and the Pulse Blade Core feel
  • You shoot a lot and want the hybrid kick to work across both quick and loaded shots

Pick the Warrior Alpha LX3

  • You want elite-level performance without paying elite-level prices
  • Your flex falls outside 65, 70, 77, or 87 since the LX3 covers a much wider range
  • You prefer a round shaft over oval and like the textured FuelCore Pro blade face
