At a glance
The Sherwood Code is a locked-in pro stock stick that gives you exactly what an NHL player uses, while the Warrior Alpha LX3 2025 is way more flexible with six different flex options and four blade curves to dial in your preference. The Warrior is also noticeably lighter at 399g and costs about ten bucks less, making it the better all-around choice for most players unless you specifically want the authenticity of Nylander's exact setup.
