The all-new Bauer Vapor HyperLite 2 stick line is designed to give players the quickest release possible. This line is comprised of low-kick point sticks, built for players who take quick-motion shots, mostly shoot close to the net, and prefer release speed over power. New Upgrades: ACL 2.0 Technology, HyperCore 2 Kick Point: Low Taper Technology: XE Taper Shaft Construction: Monocomp, ACL 2.0 Blade Construction: HyperCore 2, ACL 2.0 Shaft Shape: Round When purchasing a new hockey stick, there are many factors to consider to ensure you get the best model for your level and style of play. To start, it is important to focus on kick-point. This will help take your shot, and overall on-ice performance, to the next level. If youre unsure which kick-point suits you best, or youre looking for an accurate assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey. One of the new features you will notice when picking up this stick is the reduced weight. The HyperLite 2 comes in at 360g, which is 25g lighter than the HyperLite. Bauer was able to decrease weight, while still maintaining durability. The XE taper, which is passed down from the HyperLite, is a taper design that uses a unique elliptical geometry with a thinner construction and more rounded edges. These features help the taper to thrive and improve the rocket release by 10%. That means youre getting pucks to the top corner 10% faster than the HyperLite. Moving up the stick, Bauer includes their Asymmetrical TeXtreme shaft technology. This trusted material is lightweight and responsive with a more rectangular shape allowing energy to move fluidly down the stick when shooting. This technology also offers you a balanced feel for high performance. To assist with balance and pop in the stick, the blade has been improved with HyperCore 2. This technology has thicker carbon bridges in a new orientation to create more snap and stability with every shot. The Vapor HyperLite 2 features Advanced Carbon Layering, or ACL technology, in both the shaft and blade. By using this high-end material throughout the stick, Bauer ensures the blade and shaft construction are both built to provide a lightweight and balanced feel. ACL works by using stronger, thinner internal carbon fiber layers, increasing the strength of the stick without adding unwanted weight. Bauer combines some of their most trusted features with new, high-end technologies to offer an elite-level stick built for the pros. The Bauer Vapor HyperLite 2 is a great option for any player who loved the HyperLite but is looking for something lighter, quicker, stronger and with better feel.
