When purchasing a new hockey stick, there are many factors to consider to ensure you get the best model for your level and style of play. To start, it is important to focus on kick-point. This will help take your shot, and overall on-ice performance, to the next level. If you’re unsure which kick-point suits you best, or you’re looking for an accurate assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey.
Like the rest of the 2023 Vapor line, the X3 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.
Passed down from the top-end Hyperlite 2 stick is the XE Taper technology. This taper has an elliptical geometry which provides more strength in the blade and reduces weight by limiting the amount of carbon fiber layers needed in this area. The result is a taper that amplifies the low-kick point construction, giving you the stability, responsiveness and quick release you’re looking for.
Bauer uses their High-Performance Mold which provides a balanced energy transfer through the entire stick, from shaft to blade. This gives you a true one-piece feel enhancing the overall performance of the stick to improve your shooting, passing, and stick handling.
In the blade, Bauer introduces the EnergyCore 1 blade; a Dual Fiberglass Bridge system. Adding the bridges with carbon fiber gives your stick more pop and will help players take their game to the next level.
The Bauer Vapor X3 stick is designed for players that are newer to hockey but are starting to play at a higher level, and are looking for a reliable stick that has a great feel at a much lower price. For more information on the entire stick line, check out our 2023 Bauer Vapor Stick blog.
