Pick the Bauer Vapor FlyLite

  • You're a forward who lives on wrist shots and snap shots and wants the fastest possible release
  • You need flexibility in flex options and blade curves to dial in your exact preference
  • Weight matters to you and you can afford the premium for a 360g stick

Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock G. Brisebois

  • You want genuine pro-spec equipment at a third of the price
  • You're a stronger player who can handle a stiff 100-flex and prefers a mid-kick for one-timers
  • You shoot a variety of shot types and don't need a specialized low-kick design
