Whether you’re an elite player or new-to-hockey skater, there are many factors to consider when purchasing a new hockey stick. We at Pure Hockey recommend placing a focus on kick point. Finding the right kick point for your style of play will help take your shot to the next level and improve your overall game.  If you’re unsure which kick point is best for you, or you’re looking for an accurate assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey store. 

Like the rest of the 2019 Vapor line, the X2.7 stick features a low-kick point built for quickness. if you’re the type of player who often takes quick-motion shots, shoots close to the net, and prefers release speed over power, the Vapor line proves to be an excellent choice to help enhance your game. The X2.7 does not include Bauer’s new XE Taper design like the rest of the line, but still features some quality technologies to help improve the performance benefits of this low-kick model.

The Vapor X2.7 includes Bauer’s trusted QRT technology. Carried over from the previous generation’s higher-end models like the X900 stick, this taper design improves recoil speed by keeping energy in the lower part of the shaft, helping to get the puck off the blade as fast as possible. While Bauer has redesigned their taper construction for the top-end Vapor models this year, QRT still proves to be a dynamic technology that will help players get their shots off quick.

For the construction of the Vapor X2.7, Bauer uses UD carbon fiber in the shaft and blade. The unidirectional material offers a good balance of durability and performance, keeping the stick strong without adding too much weight to the structure. The Vapor X2.7 is a fused two-piece construction, but thanks to the technologies included in the design, this stick still provides solid balance and a good overall feel. 

The blade construction includes MaxBalance technology, also featured in the Vapor 2X Pro stick. MaxBalance strategically layers added carbon fiber in the blade for more strength and balance without weighing down the stick, while also reinforcing the edges for increased durability. 

Any skater, regardless of level or frequency of play, is encouraged to upgrade to one of the top-end Vapor sticks if he or she wants to experience ultimate performance and the best technologies Bauer has to offer. But if you’re a player who skates a couple times per week and is looking for a quality stick at a great value, the Vapor X2.7 proves to be a great choice.
