Pick the Bauer Proto2

  • You shoot from everywhere on the ice and want one stick that handles wristers, snapshots, and one-timers equally well
  • You want more flex options to dial in your exact preference across five different weights
  • You prefer a square shaft that feels more responsive in your hands

Pick the CCM Ribcor Trigger 9 Pro

  • You're a forward who lives in tight spaces and needs the fastest release possible off your blade
  • You take most shots from close range where a low kick point loads faster
  • You want slightly better blade durability and easier puck loading in the hosel
