AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is cheaper and gives you more flex choices (30-50 range) with a mid kick that's easier to load, while the JetSpeed FT8 Pro is noticeably lighter at 209g and copies the exact tech from CCM's senior pro stick, but only comes in two softer flexes and costs more for a youth model.

Pick the Bauer Proto2 Junior

  • You want the most affordable elite junior stick and value shot control over weight savings

Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8 Pro Youth

  • You want the lightest possible stick for a young player who can handle premium pricing
  • Your kid shoots with P28 or P29 curves and doesn't need flex 40 or 50
  • You want the exact same construction and tech as CCM's pro-level FT8 Pro, just downsized
