The Bauer Nexus E3 ice hockey stick is designed for the performance-level playmakers, with some high-level features at a great value. ER Spine is designed to make shooting effortless. UD Carbon in the shaft and blade to help reduce the weight to 450g. Cell Core blade technology. Mid Kick Flex profile There are a variety of factors to consider when purchasing a new stick. When thinking about your on-ice performance, it is important to place a focus on kick point. Finding the right kick point will help take your shot to the next level and have a positive impact on your game. Bauer’s Nexus sticks are known for their mid-kick point, offering players an extended pop-life and quick release. Bauer enhances the mid-kick point of the E3 with some top-end technologies. One of the exciting features is the weight of the stick. The E3 comes in at 450g, which is 15g lighter than the previous model, the Nexus N37. Bauer was able to accomplish the reduced weight by using 60% more carbon fiber in the blade and UD Carbon Fiber throughout the shaft. UD Carbon Fiber is a weave that will give the stick more strength and a better balance point. Passed down from the top-of-the-line Sync stick is the ER Spine technology. This is a revolutionary 5-sided shape that creates a spine along the back of the shaft to remove excess carbon fiber layers in the key loading zone. This makes it easier to load energy into the stick creating a faster, more controlled release in all situations. Any skater, regardless of level or frequency of play, is encouraged to upgrade to one of the top-end Nexus sticks if he or she wants to experience ultimate performance and the best technologies Bauer has to offer. But if you’re a player who skates a couple times per week and is looking for a quality stick at a great value, the Nexus E3 proves to be a great choice.
