| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The Hyperlite lives up to it's name. It is in fact super light! Love it. Feels great and has pop. |
| My hands feel better just picking this thing up. Used it for a few months now and it's held up great. |
| The feel of the puck is phenomenal with this blade. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a light stick. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Within a few weeks of purchasing, the stick developed a crack. Not unusable but for the price, I expected better. |
| It snapped low on the shaft after one month of use. |
| Not durable at all, my first Hyperlite broke on the heel, second one did the same thing. |
The Hyperlite has a lighting release. It's amazing for the players who need their shots off as fast as possible. The feel for the puck is perfect. Bauer chose a median weight for the Hyperlite. It's not too heavy and perfectly light.
