👍 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.

“

For its time, the Hyperlite was the lightest weight quick-release stick designed by Bauer. Now it's the Hyperlite 2. It's going to be best for the quick-release player. Anybody who likes to shoot...forwards love it. But defensemen use Vapors as well. It's all based on feel. The Hyperlite is a shooter's stick all the way. It's for someone who loves to collect goals.
