Pick the Bauer Proto2

  • You shoot from everywhere and need a stick that loads well on slap shots, snapshots, and wrist shots
  • You want the lightest possible stick and the weight difference matters to you
  • You prefer a square shaft feel in your hands

Pick the Bauer Vapor FlyLite

  • You are a forward who lives off wrist shots and quick releases in tight spaces
  • You want a low kick that loads fast and snaps back quickly on every release
  • Saving CA$20 matters and you do not need the versatility of a mid kick
