Pick the Bauer Proto2 Junior

•You want a stick engineered specifically for quick-release shots over pure power
•You value having three flex options across your team or multiple sticks

•You want to save $30 and get an elite-level stick anyway
•Your player is a pure power shooter who doesn't need lightning-quick release
•You like the limited white colorway and prefer CCM's blade technology
•You only need flex 30 and one of those two curves anyway
