Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 Hockey Sticks
The Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 hockey stick enhances the legacy of the Vapor line, focusing on speed and agility. It is the lightest and most durable version yet, incorporating ACL 2.0 technology for optimized carbon layering, which reduces weight by 25 grams compared to the previous model. This lighter design improves stick handling, shot speed, and maneuverability on the ice.
Key features include:
| Low Kick Point | Creates a hyper-responsive stick ideal for powerful, quick, and effortless releases. |
| Lightweight Construction with ACL 2.0 Technology | Advanced carbon layering through the shaft and blade to make the stick incredibly lightweight and balanced. |
| XE Taper | Uses elliptical geometry with a thinner construction and more rounded edges, making shot releases 10% faster than previous models. |
| HyperCore 2 Blade | Rearranges thicker carbon bridges from previous models to create more balance, stability, and pop in each shot. |
| Asymmetrical TeXtreme Shaft Technology | Creates a balanced feel and supports a fluid energy transfer throughout the stick. |
| Monocomp Technology | A one-piece construction which ensures a consistent composition throughout the stick. |

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The Hyperlite 2 slaps. This is the most durable Bauer stick I have ever used. |
| Very light and great durability. My first one lasted a few seasons and I expect this one to as well. |
| Great stick, very good feel for the puck. Shooting feels crisp. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Took one slap shot and the blade broke clean off where it meets the shaft! |
| Not a fan of the super low kick point. |
| As a beginner I find this stick hard to handle. |
The Hyperlite 2 provides a superior feel for the puck. Even if the player uses it for the first time, they may become accustomed to handling the puck in a shorter period of time. Thus, nurturing and getting used to various moves. The stick definitely provides a wicked quick release with precision.
