Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 Hockey Sticks
The Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 hockey stick builds on the legacy of the Vapor line, known for its focus on speed and agility. This iteration aims to be the lightest and most durable Vapor stick yet. It features Bauer's ACL 2.0 technology for optimized carbon layering, shedding 25 grams from the previous Hyperlite model. This reduction in weight translates to quicker stick handling, faster shots, and enhanced 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. |

Its pop zone adds power to your shots, but it might not be the lightest option. The Catalyst 9X has a low-kick flex optimized for exceptional puck feel and controlled releases.
