BAUER Vapor X900 Lite S18 Intermediate Composite Hockey Stick
Regular Price: £133.99
Special Price £109.99
The new Bauer Vapor X900 Lite GripTac ice hockey stick is jam-packed with upgrades and elite-level features, yet somehow manages to weigh in and cost less than last year’s X900. What? For those performance-level skaters on a budget who are accustomed to high-performance gear, the X900 is the stick for you. Micro Feel II shaft for contoured comfort QRT technology for aggressively thin taper and low kick-point Pure Shot blade profile for stability and accuracy Max Balance Technology for lightweight durability BimaX 3K carbon fiber for a strong, lively response Aero Foam I blade core for elite puck feel and durability The X900 features the Vapor line’s Micro Feel II shaft dimensions, with rounded corners and double concave sidewalls for a comfortable, contoured feel in the hands. The stick construction is a fused, two-piece design, upgraded in both the carbon and resin system. Bauer uses a 3K carbon fiber weave in this stick—a weave still used in today’s NHL—that’s 10 percent lighter than a traditional basket weave carbon fiber. Bauer’s R3 resin system boosts the stick’s durability while adding a significant degree of responsiveness. The X900 has an ultra-low kick-point powered by Bauer’s QRT technology, an extremely aggressive taper into the blade that keeps the kick-point low. The stick is very efficient at loading and unloading energy. When you need that quick shot, the X900 will respond immediately—ideal for players looking to shoot as quickly as possible and who generate shot power primarily with their wrists. The Pure Shot blade profile adds significant stability to the blade. The Pure Shot profile includes extra material between the shaft and blade, helping the stick not to open up and twist on big shots. The blade features Bauer’s Max Balance Technology, a strategic fiber orientation that gives the player more durability around the edges but also reduces the blade weight by five grams. The balance point is now a little higher, so the stick feels even lighter in the hands. With the Aero Foam I blade core, skaters will appreciate the great puck feel and superior durability of the X900 Lite. The BimaX 3K carbon fiber in the X900 is more of a twill than a traditional fiber, making the stick stronger and a little livelier. The senior stick weighs 435 grams, which is five grams lighter than last year’s X900. The great thing, though, is the stick actually costs less than last year’s model, pushing the X900 easily to the front of the performance-level options, thanks to the enormous value in this stick for players—the 435-gram weight is even lighter than some of the competitors’ top-line offerings that cost twice as much. Well done, Bauer. -

Building on 20 years of research and know-how, the LX stick line will feature Dynamic Strike technology.

This creates an overall nice subtle look, while still having some visual pop to it. Upgraded for the Alpha LX 30 Hockey Stick is Warrior’s exclusive Sabre Taper II Technology. This exclusive taper design combines a specialized geometry shape with a low kick flex that is torsionally stable and provides players with a more powerful and accurate release.

Regular Price: £189.99
Special Price £149.99
Introducing the TRUE AX9 hockey stick, new for 2020. TRUE has made the AX9 into an extremely high performing stick, improving in key areas to reduce weight, improve durability and provide an overall better product. FiberShield for durability BRT+ Blade Tech for increased heel strength SmartPly for impact strength and balance Axenic Tech for a true one-piece build When purchasing a new hockey stick, there are many factors to consider ensuring you get the best model for your level and style of play. To start, it is important to focus on kick point. Finding the right kick point for your game will help take your shot, and your overall on-ice performance, to the next level. If you’re unsure which kick point suits you best, or you’re looking for an accurate assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey. The TRUE AX9 features a low kick point, a flex point that will be found throughout the A-Series line of sticks. This low-kick build is designed to give you a lightning-quick release and unmatched speed because the stick is easier to load. Having the flex point near the hosel in the bottom third of the shaft allows for effortless energy transfer. The shaft itself is constructed with SmartPly technology. This build angels the carbon fibers in a unique way so that there are 25 layers of unidirectional carbon fiber in a single shaft. SmartPly is the perfect marriage of lightweight, balance and impact strength. Helping the AX9 in the durability category is TRUE’s FiberShield advanced resin system. This technology allows for low-density nanoparticles throughout the shaft and blade. The formula is designed to equally distribute particles throughout the stick, making the AX9 balanced in both stiffness and weight. Because of FiberShield, the AX9 is 39% stronger and 5% lighter than its predecessor. The senior-level stick weighs in at 393 grams. TRUE has made the most notable improvements in the blade construction. New to the 2020 AX9 is BRT+ technology, engineered to create a stronger, lighter blade with increased durability in the heel. This model will outperform the prevues generation in both strength and consistency. Topping off the AX9 is Axenic Technology that combines a compression-molded shaft into a true one-piece stick. This seamless build puts the player's hands in direct contact with the puck for unmatched control and feel. The AX9 is a true high performance, pro-level stick designed with the most advanced technologies TRUE has ever put into their sticks.

BAUER Supreme 2S Pro Intermediate Composite Hockey Stick
Regular Price: £174.99
Special Price £160.99
The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro hockey stick is built for efficiency and power, with the innovation and professional features that elite-level players are looking for in a high kick point model. DuraFlex resin system for increased shaft strength Advanced Carbon Layering for reduced weight without sacrificing durability Renewcore technology for a longer lasting blade Monocomp one-piece construction for enhanced shaft consistency Maximum Power Kick for increased energy transfer New to Bauer’s top-end Supreme hockey stick this year is the Duraflex resin system. While Bauer continues to use its TeXtreme carbon fiber construction in the 2S Pro, the new Duraflex resin increases the entire shaft’s durability and flexural strength. The stick also utilizes the popular Monocomp technology, a carry-over from the Supreme 1S, which provides a true one-piece stick design, producing excellent consistency throughout the shaft. These elite technologies allow you to lean heavier into shots for maximum power. The 2S Pro blade features a key upgrade, Advanced Carbon Layering, which improves the durability-to-weight ratio. The ACL technology produces more carbon fiber layered in a compressed area, increasing the strength of the blade while reducing the stick’s weight. Bauer combines blade innovation with trusted features from the previous model, bringing back their Renewcore technology, which takes a pressurized gel and fills internal blade cracks to create a longer lasting structure. These key features produce a reactive blade for higher shot velocity, without sacrificing strength and durability. The Maximum Power Kick is another carry-over from last year’s 1S model. This technology maximizes the transfer of energy on every shot, with a taper geometry that thickens the hosel area to create a higher kick point, allowing you to generate power from handle to blade. The MPK technology is complemented by the extended transfer zone, allowing you to load your snap shots based on hand positioning for added versatility. Whether you’re firing off a quick snap shot or loading up for a slap shot, the fast recoil and increased energy transfer will provide you with excellent power. The Senior model of the 2S Pro weighs 415 grams, a 5-gram reduction from last year’s 1S model, and features the new P92M blade profile, Bauer’s maximum blade height. With NHL players requesting a taller blade, Bauer delivered, providing the same curve and lie as the standard P92, with the addition of the increased height. This feature helps you in all areas of the game, whether you’re winning a face-off, tipping shots in front of the net, deflecting passes from the opposing team, or collecting bouncing pucks in the corners. Bauer has created its most efficient hockey stick to date in the Supreme 2S Pro, using a winning technological formula to produce a stick made to give you a powerful release. If you’re an elite player looking to take your shot to the next level, the 2S Pro has the features you want.
