Pick the Bauer Pulse

  • You're a senior player who shoots from different distances and wants both mid-kick control and low-kick snap in one stick
  • You want one of the lightest Bauer options available at 345g for faster hand speed
  • You need wider flex options (65-87) and more blade curve choices for your exact preference

Pick the Bauer Vapor HyperLite 2 Junior

  • You're a junior player or still developing your shot mechanics and don't need premium materials
  • You prioritize quick-release shots and want the fastest response without breaking the bank
  • You're growing or might outgrow the stick soon, so spending half the price makes sense
