Pick the Bauer Proto2

  • You want to choose your flex (65 to 87) and curve instead of being locked into one setup
  • You prefer mid-kick feel for shooting from anywhere on the ice
  • You value a noticeably lighter stick that reduces arm fatigue over a full game
  • You shoot a mix of snap and wrist shots and need one stick to handle everything

Pick the CCM Trigger 7 Pro Stock Taylor Makar

  • You're a stronger player who shoots NHL-spec stiffness and know 95 flex is your number
  • You want a genuine low-kick pro pattern at a budget-friendly price point
  • You only shoot one way and don't need multiple curve or flex options
  • You want the exact build an NHL player uses without paying full pro stock markup
