Pick the Bauer Pulse

  • You want the lightest possible stick for a quicker release feel
  • You like the idea of a hybrid kick point that blends mid and low kick behavior
  • You shoot primarily with P28, P88, P90TM, or P92 and do not need more options

Pick the TaggsHockey Classic

  • You want strong carbon construction at a fraction of the price
  • You need a specific flex that Bauer does not offer, like 95, 100, or 110
  • You want more curve options, including Lidstrom or Modano patterns that Bauer does not carry
