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.

I currently use the CCM insoles, and like them. I liked having the adjustable arch. I was using the Superfeet for a while, but couldn't quite get use to the arch support.

Helmet: Bauer Re-Akt 100 with Re-Akt cage
Elbows: Bauer Supreme 1S
Shoulders: Bauer Vapor X900
Shins: Bauer Vapor 1X Lite (Went from Bauer S190's, to Vapor 1X, to Vapor 1X Lite which feels like nothing is there, just molded to my leg)
Gloves: Bauer Supreme S170, I have a brand new pair of Bauer 1X Pro's, just rocking the Supremes still
Skates: Bauer Supreme S180 with CCM adjustable inserts
Pants: Bauer Vapor 1X
Sticks: Bauer Vapor X900 105 flex with P88 and 87 flex with P88 flex, and a Bauer 1S 105 flex with P88
Considering my skill level, and amount of time I have to play, some of my kit is way above my level. Something I enjoy and didn't mind spending some money on though.

Thanks for the input so far.
I can’t remember where I found it, but I believe the Warrior lies are 5, and the Bauer are 6. The lie hasn’t been too much of an issue, I didn’t have a problem using a True stick with a lie of 5 for a while.
As for flex, I currently use an 85/87. I’m 5’10 and hover around 225. While I don’t lean into shots too much, for lack of technique, I’m a little leery going down to the 70 range.
