BAUER Vapor Hyperlite Blue Intermediate Composite Hockey Stick
£244.99Brand new for the 2021 season is Bauer’s latest addition to their Vapor stick line, the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite Hockey Stick. The Vapor line has been designed around giving players the quickest release possible on their shots, and the Hyperlite is no different. It features key upgrades, making this Bauer’s quickest and lightest stick to date! Not only is the Vapor Hyperlite Hockey Stick incredibly lightweight, weighing in at 385 grams(SR), it is also very durable, largely thanks to the Asymmetrical TeXtreme carbon fiber construction. This TeXtreme material is lighter and more durable than standard carbon fiber. The shaft of the Vapor Hyperlite stick also utilizes Bauer’s ACL Technology. This technology, inspired by the ADV stick, is a design in which carbon fibers are strategically layered within the shaft, giving the Hyperlite increased durability and overall feel. Furthering this is the DuraFlex Resin System on the interior of the stick that further increases durability against impacts and flexing of the stick. This will help maintain that feel of a brand-new stick. Topping everything off, is the Hyperlite’s MonoComp Construction. This is a molding process that eliminates the fusion point between the shaft and blade, making the Vapor Hyperlite a true one-piece stick. This provides players with an unmatched and consistent feel during stickhandling, passing, and shooting. The Vapor Hyperlite Hockey Stick features an ultra-low kick point thanks to the addition of the XE Taper technology. This taper is narrower and oval shaped. This design helps stabilize the lower portion of the shaft, as well as the blade, during hard wrist shots, helping improve accuracy and control during shooting. This design also reduces the overall weight of the stick. Moving down to the blade, the Vapor Hyperlite Hockey Stick utilizes Bauer’s HYPERCORE Blade Core. This reconstructed blade features high-end materials, focused on the high wear areas of the blade like the heel, to increase durability and puck feel. This core will also help to maintain that “Pop” feel in the blade longer. This is done without sacrificing the lightweight feel or performance. Like previous iterations, the blade on the Hyperlite is very stiff, allowing the puck to fly off your blade on your shots! The ACL Technology is also found in the makeup of the blade, further enhancing the lightweight feel along with the durability. Constructed with an all-new stylish vapor design, along with new key features, the Vapor Hyperlite Stick is one of the most elite sticks on the market. If you are a player looking for a low-kick stick that helps you get your shots off the blade as quickly as possible, look no further than the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite Ice Hockey Stick! -

CCM Ribcor Trigger 8 Pro Chrome Intermediate Composite Hockey Stick
£254.99Intro & New Features The new Ribcor Trigger family unites lightning-quick release with remarkable feel in CCM’s greatest low kick stick iteration yet. The Trigger 8 Pro showcases both new and returning tech at the highest price point, including Skeleton+ technology, a new Agility 3 blade with new Dual-Feel technology, and Nanolite Shield Carbon Layering tech. Stick Profile Crafted to elevate your performance, the stick boasts CCM’s optimized low kick point. This means the stick flexes lower, closer to the blade. This design enhances the stick's ability to store and release energy quickly during a shot. When a player loads the stick by flexing it, the energy stored in the lower shaft is rapidly released at the low kick point upon shooting. This results in a swift and explosive shot release, ideal for close-range shots, quick snapshots, and fast-paced gameplay. Shaft Construction The ergonomic “E” geometry in the shaft shape is designed to offer a flawless energy transfer, optimizing the speed of release for your shots. Reinforced by the Sigma STP carbon weave, exclusively tailored for player sticks, this construction not only enhances durability but also makes the stick lighter and more balanced. A standout advancement lies in the Nanolite Shield carbon layering technology, reshaping the shaft design by incorporating thicker carbon fibre layers to shield an ultralight core. This synthesis results in a shaft that's both robust and exceptionally lightweight. Blade Construction CCM debuts the new Agility 3 blade with Dual-Feel technology in the Trigger 8 Pro stick at the highest price point. This technology not only maintains the Ribcor stick's iconic quick and precise shooting capabilities but also leverages a groundbreaking dampening foam insert in the heel of the blade to minimize vibrations while stickhandling and passing, revolutionizing the way you interact with the puck. The stick additionally continues to use Skeleton+ taper technology, which fortifies the reliability of the taper area through a lighter, more consistent build while utilizing premium materials and minimizing unnecessary elements. Graphics The Trigger 8 series solidifies the move from the old green/black to a new black/grey/purple design, coupled with the new, modernized graphics that the Ribcor series adopted last season. The Trigger 8 Pro has more purple colouration at the highest price point. Grip The Trigger Microfeel grip is characterized by its curved and raised texture, offering an enhanced stick feel within your hands for greater control and sensitivity to each movement while stickhandling. -
CCM Jetspeed FT7 Pro Intermediate Composite Hockey Stick
£279.99Intro & New Features The CCM Jetspeed FT7 Pro hockey stick is the latest innovation from one of the leading names in hockey equipment. Designed with elite players in mind, this stick combines cutting-edge technology, top-of-the-line materials, and expert craftsmanship to deliver amazing performance on the ice. The FT7 Pro features a hybrid kick point, “R” geometry along the shaft, a Sigma STP spread tow weave, and an RR-110 X-Soft Helicoid blade. Stick Profile The Jetspeed line uses a hybrid kick point, which combines the benefits of both a low and high kick point. It is designed to provide a quick release for wrist and snap shots, while also delivering more power for slap shots. The hybrid kick point is achieved by using a combination of carbon fibres with different flex properties in the lower and upper parts of the shaft. The lower part of the shaft uses stiffer carbon fibres, creating a low kick point for quick releases. The upper part of the shaft uses more flexible carbon fibres, creating a higher kick point for increased power and accuracy on slap shots. Shaft Construction The shaft of the FT7 Pro uses a rounded “R” geometry, which is intended to provide a more comfortable and natural grip and a better feel for the player compared to traditional “T” geometry. This shape is also designed to reduce air resistance when in use, increasing shot speed and accuracy. The carbon fibres are weaved together with a Sigma STP spread tow carbon weave, built specifically for players to enhance their game and enhance stick strength, durability, and performance. The Sigma STP spread tow carbon weave provides a high level of consistency in the material. The tight weave and uniform fibre distribution create a predictable and consistent response in the stick, making it easier for players to control the puck and make accurate shots. This is ideal for the Jetspeed line, which is meant to adjust to all situations. Blade Construction The RR-110 X-Soft Helicoid blade utilizes smaller increments of carbon layer stacking to increase blade durability while significantly improving stick feel when passing and stickhandling. The helicoid technology excels in achieveing a perfect balance of blade durability and responsiveness. By optimizing the angles of the carbon layers in finer gradations than ever before, the blade effectively dissipates energy from in-game impacts, ensuring it maintains its integrity over an extended period. Graphics The graphics keep to the modern Jetspeed text look. The Jetspeed logo is red, in addition to some accents, and the carbon weave is visible from the blade up to the top of the stick, with a uniform dark shade showcasing the construction of the FT7 Pro. Grip The grip on the FT7 Pro is a raised FT Microfeel grip located in the mid section of the shaft to ensure perfect control when playing.
