New Bauer Vapor X800 (2016) RH 77 Flex P88 Stick

The 2016 Bauer X800 is a stick in the next generation of Bauer’s Vapor line made ideal for crafty players. Continuing the focus on puck handling and quick release shots, the X800 is revamped with improved QRT technology which features an aggressive taper that gives this stick a low kick profile and has also been completely optimized with a new layup design. The result ends with an X800 hockey stick that has been made lighter, faster, and stronger than its predecessor Bauer’s research showed that reorienting the layers of carbon fiber would pay huge dividends in the progression of not only QRT tech but also the entire Vapor line as a whole. By doing this, the stick was made lighter by trimming off a little bit of weight, made faster by giving the shooter the ability to achieve maximum levels of deformation or easier stick loading, and made 30% more durable in the taper area. With all these improvements working together this X800 provides a quicker overall release! To make up the shaft construction, a combination of visible premium lightweight 3k woven carbon fiber as well as fiberglass in the shaft of the Vapor X800, making the stick feel comparable to offerings twice its price. The X800 also uses a traditional, proven, fused construction. The Micro Feel II shaft profile has rounded corners and double-concave walls which allow the shaft to fit comfortably into your hands, resulting in easier puck handling and superior control The blade of the X800 features Bauer’s AERO FOAM 3, a lightweight dual density foam that helps to dampen vibration and improve the durability of the blade. This is wrapped in a special BiMax 3K weave which has a higher tensile strength than a conventional 3K weave. Additionally, this entire Vapor line includes Bauer's Pure Shot Blade Profile which is that visible expanded throat design that reduces the amount of blade deflection or the twisting / opening of the blade while shooting. The outcome of all this is a blade that is balanced and durable yet offers excellent feel and playability Fused 2 piece construction IMPROVED QRT Taper technology Monocomp technology Pure Shot blade profile Premium lightweight 3k carbon composite shaft construction BiMax 3k blade construction AEROFOAM III blade core Micro Feel II shaft dimension Double concave walls
