Pick the Bauer Pulse

  • You want to dial in your exact flex (65-87 range) and blade curve instead of being locked to one option
  • You shoot from different spots and want a hybrid kick that handles both quick releases and loaded slappers
  • The 345g weight matters for your speed and stick handling
  • You have the budget and want a manufacturer warranty backing your stick

  • You already know you love a pure low kick and shoot fast
  • You're on a tight budget and don't mind the fixed 95 flex
  • You trust pro stock builds because they're what NHLers actually use
  • You're a stronger player who can handle stiffer sticks without issues
