New for 2023, Bauer is revolutionizing their most popular stick line with the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 Hockey Stick. Engineered with cutting-edge technology and premium materials, this stick is designed to elevate your performance to new heights. Whether you're a competitive player or a seasoned pro, the Hyperlite 2 will be your ultimate companion on the ice. The Vapor Hyperlite 2 is crafted with high-quality materials, making it one of the lightest sticks on the market, weighing in at 360 grams (SR). The reduced weight translates into quicker puck handling and improved maneuverability, giving you the edge in fast-paced situations. Utilizing ACL 2.0, it is also a very durable stick. This technology, inspired by the ADV stick, is a design in which carbon fibers are strategically layered within the shaft, giving the Hyperlite 2 increased durability and overall feel. It uses less material without sacrificing durability. Furthering this is the Hyperlite 2 MonoComp Construction. This is a molding process that eliminates the fusion point between the shaft and blade, making the Vapor Hyperlite 2 a true one-piece stick. This provides players with an unmatched and consistent feel during stickhandling, passing, and shooting. The Vapor Hyperlite 2 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 2 Hockey Stick utilizes Bauer’s HYPERCORE2 Blade Core. This revolutionized carbon bridge construction increases recoil 10% to release the puck even more like a rocket. 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 2 is very stiff, allowing the puck to fly off your blade on your shots! Engineered to elevate your skills and redefine your playmaking abilities, this stick sets the gold standard for on-ice performance. Whether you're a seasoned pro or an aspiring young talent, the Hyperlite 2 will elevate your game in all aspects.
