The Bauer Vapor 2X Grip Hockey Stick is a high-performance limited edition stick built for performance players looking to up their game with a stick that won’t break the bank. Low-kick point for the ultimate quick release XE Taper technology for enhanced performance Upgraded 12K MaxBalance blade for better balance and durability High Performance Mold for a true one-piece feel When choosing a new hockey stick for your upcoming season, it is important to focus on kick point. Finding the right kick point for you will help take your on-ice performance to the next level. If you’re unsure which kick point suits your game best, or you’re looking for an accurate assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey. Similar to the rest of the 2019 Vapor stick family the new Vapor 2X features a low-kick point, providing players with an advantage in release speed. This low kick design is ideal for players who more often take quick motion shots, such as in close to the net, and rely on speed over power. Some of the carry over technologies from the top of the line Flylite stick are found on the Vapor 2X to enhance the quick release Vapor has become known for. One of the new technologies on the Vapor 2X stick is the XE taper. With a unique elliptical geometry, this updated taper design provides more stability in the blade, a softer area in the hosel, and a reduced overall weight by limiting the amount of carbon fiber layers needed in this area. This new design combines to enhance the low kick point construction and give players more stability and responsiveness without sacrificing the quick release they need. The Vapor 2X construction features a unique blend of high end composites using Bauer’s high performance mold technology. The HP Mold provides a balanced energy transfer through the entire stick, from shaft to blade, to give you a true one-piece feel, enhancing the overall performance of the stick to improve your shooting, passing, and stick handling. In the Vapor 2X stick you will find 3K composite construction on the shaft, with 12K composite construction on the MaxBalance blade. One of the high-performance features of the unique Bauer Vapor 2X Stick is the upgrade to a 12K MaxBalance blade to provide reduced weight and an even more balanced feel. The high end blade strategically layers added carbon fiber for more strength without weighing down the stick, while also reinforcing the edges for increased durability. With the Vapor 2X hockey stick, Bauer enhances the low kick point options for performance players looking to enhance their game without upgrading all the way to a top of the line stick, and for elite players looking for high-performing options at a price that allows for a multi-stick purchase.
