The 2017 Nexus lineup from Bauer is all about allowing you to hit what you’re aiming for every time. As Bauer’s TRU mid-kick flex profile this Nexus construction has become one of the most sought after sticks amongst NHL players. This year the revamped N7000 features Bauer’s Sweet Spot Technology, an enlarged mid kick zone that Bauer has re-engineered to allow for more efficient loading and energy transfer in your shot. The Nexus N7000 is a proven traditional fused two-piece stick composed primarily with a visible composite (carbon fiber/fiberglass) construction throughout the shaft. Probably the biggest change to this stick is going to be with the introduction of Bauer’s Control Shaft geometry. In order to improve grip and contact with the stick, the N7000 comes tooled with shaft corners that have been made 14% rounder than the previous Nexus geometry. To finish off this new rounded feel the N7000 will only be available in a nice Griptac finish. Moving further down the stick, you will find the Power Profile Dual Taper. This is a moderate taper that provides a little more thickness in the hosel of the tapered area to boost torsional stiffness and durability in order to allow you to more easily load up for powerful shots. Bauer's expanded throat of the Pure Shot Blade Profile also means less torquing and twisting, thus improving accuracy and blade control. Moving down to the blade; the internals are composed of a dual density foam core blade which still has a softer feel to help compliment the Sweet Spot Mid Kick point. This is all wrapped up in a BimaX 3K composite weave; a carbon weave material known for its high tensile strength which is going to add performance and durability at this price point.

The Bauer Supreme 180 stick was designed and developed for the player seeking visible technologies, pro level feel and playability at a performance level price. The Supreme line features a mid-kick flex profile, which means that it is easier to load through the middle due to its softer properties in that zone. It also features the Supreme power dual taper for a stiffer bottom portion of the shaft which in conjunction with the Pure Shot Blade profile, an expanded throat design as you transition from shaft to blade, provides torsional stiffness in such a way that reduces the likelihood of twisting and torquing of the blade. The 180 was engineered to boost energy output and provide a healthy combination of strength, power, precision and control. Just like the higher end Supreme 190 stick, the Supreme 180 uses a premium lightweight 12k woven carbon fiber in the shaft. 12k carbon is even better at managing stress than 3k woven carbon fiber, which has been used in high end composite sticks for years. The Supreme line of sticks have a square shaft shape with double-concave walls which is preferred among pros. Enhancing the nice secure grip provided from this shape is the MX3 Tac-Spiral ridges on the underside of the shaft. For the core of the Supreme 180 blade, Bauer uses a lightweight AERO FOAM 1, which provides great feel for the puck. The Blade is wrapped in Premium lightweight 3k Carbon Fiber, which adds stiffness to the blade, and features a matte finish. The Bauer Supreme 180 is a well-balanced stick with visible technologies that support a powerful and controlled shot all at a performance level price. This value proposition should get your consideration.

The Bauer Supreme S TE Senior Hockey Stick (S17) is aimed at the pro team looking for a blend of performance and value. Who isn't? It has many features that makes the stick comparible with high-end stick to an affordable price.

New for 2022 CCM has revamped their popular Ribcor Trigger stick line with the CCM Ribcor Trigger 7 Senior Hockey Stick. The Trigger 7 has been built with a better balance point and weighs less than its predecessor, giving an enhanced feel and an ultra-quick release. Starting with the shaft makeup, The Ribcor Trigger 7 is continuing to use high performing Advanced Carbon Matrix technology combined with sigmatex spread tow. Specifically designed with players sticks in mind, Sigmatex’s new carbon weave improves on the previous generation’s durability and strength, all while allowing for a lighter and more balanced stick. For the design of the Ribcor Trigger 7 shaft, CCM is keeping their popular E-Geometry shaft. This advanced ergonomic construction was designed by the CCM Performance Lab in collaboration with some of the best hockey players in the world. It is designed to offer a seamless energy transfer to maximize the speed of release. Starting at the top of the shaft, you will find a rounded concave design that allows for advanced comfort and control. As you move down to the mid-shaft, you find a rounded convex back side combined with a square-cornered concave front, which maximizes dexterity and control. Working in tandem with the E-Geometry shaft, the Trigger 7 will also use Skeleton+ shaft taper. This redesigned taper is a new manufacturing technology which will provide better reliability and durability in this crucial area of the stick. This will allow for better consistency and quicker shot release in those key moments of the game. To achieve an ultra-quick release for the Ribcor Trigger 7, CCM is using an optimized low kick featuring a soft taper area and optimal vertical flex. Along with their exclusive skeleton+ taper design, this kick point maximizes loading while driving that ultra-quick release. Moving down to the blade of the Ribcor Trigger 7, CCM is going with an agility blade with peel-ply technology. This improved agility blade takes stick handling and feel to the next level without any compromise on shot release speed. Improving on their Ribcor stick line with better durability and reduced weight, the Ribcor Trigger 7 Senior Hockey Stick, will be a great option for a high-level player looking to improve every aspect of their game on the ice.

Keeping with the ever-evolving game, CCM has given their Tacks stick line a modern redesign with the CCM Tacks AS-V Pro Senior Hockey Stick. With a completely new shaft geometry, the combination of their Sigmatex ST carbon weave, and improved balance, The CCM Tacks AS-V Pro Hockey Stick is modern power for today’s game. The Tacks AS-V Pro will feature a modern mid kickpoint over their traditional mid kick. Still using a softer mid-section to ensure maximum energy storage when loading the stick, the new modern mid kick has now been optimized to work better with wrist shots. This will help aggressive shooters have more puck speed and consistency with their stick handling and shots. Keeping with their Skeleton+ shaft for the stick taper, which is a better manufacturing technology, will provide better reliability and durability in this crucial area of the stick. This will allow for better consistency and quicker shots, no matter where you are on the ice. For the shaft of the CCM Tacks AS-V Pro, CCM is using their high performing Nanolite Carbon Layering technology combined with sigmatex spread tow. This innovative layering of the fibers helps create a stick that is both incredibly light and incredibly strong. New for the Tacks AS-V Pro is the Variable “V” shaft geometry. This new shaft geometry allows for an easier and consistent loading of the stick to help increase wrist shot power. It’s shape transition along the shaft ensures maximum comfort and grip. Complementing the saft geometry is the superfast microfeel grip. This graphic integrated raised grip on the md-section of the shaft will ensure the perfect feel and stick control. For the blade of the CCM Tacks AS-V Pro, CCM has a new Acufeel 2 blade which is a 2nd generation Acufeel blade now including sigmatex spread tow to further improve the blade durability. The blade will still be softer to maximize shot speed and puck feel. If you are an elite level player, looking for a stick that has been modernized for today’s game, delivering power and feel, look no further than the CCM Tacks AS-V Pro Senior Hockey Stick.
