AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and has a much wider curve selection, but you'll pay more than double the price of the FlyPro. The biggest on-ice difference is kick point: the Proto2 loads from the middle for a harder shot, while the FlyPro fires from low for a quicker release.

Pick the Bauer Proto2

  • You want the lightest possible mid-kick stick at the elite level
  • You need more curve options, especially P88 or P90TM
  • You're a defenseman or two-way forward who values shot power over release speed

Pick the Bauer Vapor FlyPro

  • You want a way more affordable stick that still performs well
  • You're a forward who shoots in stride and needs a fast release
  • You prefer a round shaft and aren't chasing the absolute lightest option
