For those that have tried both the Alpha and Covert lines, which have you noticed to be more forgiving and helpful with shots?

 

To preference that a little more, I'm a newer player, that takes mostly wrist or snap shots, and I know I don't have the greatest form.  Experience wise, I've used both the Vapor and Nexus lines, and I know that the Alpha would be somewhat of a mix between those two.

 

I'm looking for a stick to upgrade to that will do well to aid my lack of skill (for now) in shots, and also help me to get more power and control as I get better with shooting skills.  I've seen mixed things as far as the blade pop for passing and such, which I can't say I've really had too many issues with as far as passing or receiving passes.  My main goal is looking for one that will give me a little more help with my shots as my form and technique continues to improve.

 

So between the two lines, should I pick up a Covert QRE variant, or wait a little longer and an Alpha DX variant?  Thanks.

It’s the Indian not the arrow. If you lack skill/technique put the money towards lessons instead of pricey lumber.

Experiance is always the best teacher...or grab lesson....Whether it is a $250 stick or $100 stick....Until feel and technique are in place a high end stick will be of little value....
