AI Breakdown

At a glance

Nexus Sync is 20g heavier but gives you way more flex options and blade patterns, plus that hybrid kick point if you want something between mid and low. Proto2 is noticeably lighter and cheaper, but locks you into mid kick only and strips down your flex/curve choices to basically what a sniper won't want anyway.

Pick the Bauer Nexus Sync

  • You shoot from everywhere and want flexibility in how the stick responds to different release points
  • You need a low flex option (30 flex exists here, doesn't on Proto2)
  • You want that hybrid kick as a real alternative to pure mid kick
  • You prefer maximum blade feedback through ConnectTech technology

Pick the Bauer Proto2

  • You want the absolute lightest mid-kick stick and don't care about low kick options
  • You're budget-conscious and $50 USD cheaper matters to your decision
  • You exclusively use mid-kick and one of those four blade patterns fits your game
  • You want boron reinforcement for durability over puck feel features
