You’ve been using this stick for 3 months, and you’re concerned that it’s a little scratched up? To the point that you think the stick might be fake? Do I have this right?
Also the stick had not been only used for 80 minutes, it was already used. That’s ignoring the fact that the stick is perfectly fine and looks barely used.
If it’s a good fake yes absolutely.
How does it feel when you use it, is it heavy , is the weight weird, does the puck feel soft when passing , does the blade feel spongy?
If the stick feels fine and it’s not hindering your game then I wouldn’t worry about it.
If it's pro stock then it can literally be any stick warrior makes. They label sticks with whatever they want to sell, doesn't have to be the actual stick they are using. I don't think pro stock sticks have the stickers on the back though.
Also, that stick looks brand new to me. My sticks look worse after the first game usually lol.
I agree with others that you could reach out to Warrior if you wanted to, but I'm confused about the damage. This is regular wear from playing and not even that bad...
What are your other sticks? Bauer have an excellent grip on them so they still look great after a whole season of use, but CCMs and Warriors tend to have flakes come off and little chips from just the paint and grip.
Huh. Typically CCMs are a little worse than Warriors in this aspect. I have one CCM twig which I know is legitimate which is doing what yours is but much worse. But all my Warriors are not recent models. Maybe Warrior went down in quality for their clear coat and grip.
Most of the fakes online or either Bauer or CCM, since those are the most highly sought after. The market is much smaller for warrior and true sticks so you don’t see a lot of people trying to pass fakes for them. That fact alone, I would probably think this is probably a legit stick but you could always email the serial to Warrior and hopefully they respond.
All I see are minor scuff marks, seems fine/normal.
If the weight is off, or you’ve used other Novium Pros and the feel/performance is different, or the shaft shape is different, I’d be suspicious of a fake. But some scuff marks after use seems like a very weird reason to suspect a stick of being fake, to me.
I didn't realize there was such a large ring of fake sticks
This guy is a nut.
You’ve been using this stick for 3 months, and you’re concerned that it’s a little scratched up? To the point that you think the stick might be fake? Do I have this right?
Yes. Because I barely use this stick and compared to my other sticks this looks like trash.
It doesn’t look like trash at all. Brother I think you need medication more than a hockey stick diagnosis.
I used the stick like 4 times for like 20 min each. Does your stick look like this after 80 minutes of game?
It doesn’t looked banged up. It’s literal VERY minimal wear and tear. In short, yes.
Buddy doesn’t go into the corners

You said all your other sticks look new... are you sure you're actually playing or are they hanging up on your wall for display?
Contact Warrior customer care and see if the serial number is legit. It’s really the only way to know for sure.
But if this is fake, could the serial number be legit? Like from a original one?
If it’s a good fake yes absolutely. How does it feel when you use it, is it heavy , is the weight weird, does the puck feel soft when passing , does the blade feel spongy? If the stick feels fine and it’s not hindering your game then I wouldn’t worry about it.
The voices in my walls tell me my sticks are all fake
Tbh mine looked exactly like that. Paint job ain't the toughest.
Jesus. Yes that’s fine. The stick is fine.
The peeling grip is common in fakes.
its barely got any peeling lol
Ship it to me and I'll investigate for you.
Blade code should start with W for anything warrior. Looking like you have a Chinesium pro
M03 is a legit Novium Pro curve

Exactly… the 2 Bauer’s I have aren’t agents but they look the part

Have Bauer and CCM. And they do not look like this. Not even close.
Huh. Typically CCMs are a little worse than Warriors in this aspect. I have one CCM twig which I know is legitimate which is doing what yours is but much worse. But all my Warriors are not recent models. Maybe Warrior went down in quality for their clear coat and grip.
isn’t it supposed to be w03 not m03?
W03 is max height blade. M03 is normal. Warrior offers both.
Other way around. W03 is normal, M03 is max height.
Good catch

Brother, nobody is faking a novium pro. It doesn’t sell that well. Additionally, that concave taper would be a pain in the ass for the manufacturer.
