Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2: Read the Review!

Be quick like never before with the reimagined HyperLite 2 Stick. Featuring ACL 2.0 technology for optimal carbon layering and weighing 25 grams lighter than the previous HyperLite Stick, the HyperLite 2 Stick is the lightest, most responsive Vapor stick in the game. That means quicker plays, faster shots, and more goals coming off your blade.

Stick Profile

The Vapor series is Bauers low-kick stick family, meaning this stick is optimized for quick and explosive shots. The low-kick point is positioned near the bottom of the shaft, allowing players to generate maximum energy transfer from the blade to the puck during snap shots and wrist shots. This design works well for players who prioritize speed in their shooting technique. The lightning-fast release makes the stick ideal for fast-paced gameplay and situations where a quick shot is crucial. The rapid energy transfer allows players to release the puck with minimal windup, catching goaltenders off guard and increasing the chances of scoring goals.

Shaft Construction

The stick weighs an impressive 25g less than its predecessor, tipping the scales at a mere 360g for the Senior version. This cutting-edge technology utilizes even less material while maintaining its durability, ensuring players experience a lightweight, responsive feel with exceptional strength. It also features a monocomp construction, utilizing a single molding process that eliminates unnecessary fusion points, providing a consistent and seamless energy transfer throughout the shaft. The result is a stick that boasts remarkable balance, responsiveness, and power.

Blade Construction

The blade construction of the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 hockey stick features the innovative Hypercore 2 bladecore, which is a revolutionary design to enhance shooting capabilities in nearly all aspects. With a 10% increase in recoil, Hypercore 2 helps players release the puck quickly and with added power, making it ideal for quick-release shots and accurate passes. The blade is also reinforced with Textreme material, which further improves responsiveness and puck feel, enabling players to maintain better control and accuracy during gameplay.

Graphics

The Vapor series is going back to its roots with the new Hyperlite 2 series designs. The Hyperlite 2 is silver near the top, blending into black speed lines and green accents. The Vapor logo is black with a red outline, completing the iconic white, red, and green colour scheme of the classic Vapor design.

Grip

The stick uses a glossy grip to enhance your hold on the stick and puckhandling.

Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length

The Vapor Hyperlite 2 Junior stick comes in the following blade patterns: P88, P92, P28, and P90TM.

P88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.

P92 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. This curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.

P28 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.

P90T is a hybrid of P92 and P28, it has the lie of the P92 and the toe of the P28. Additionally, the curve is a bit taller for more control and power on faceoffs and board battles.
