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.
The Vapor Youth is new for 2023 and updating the 2021 Vapor Junior model. Bauer didn’t want to just carry over the same Vapor stick so they dramatically improved weight, performance and durability with graphics that will pop.
For the construction, Bauer includes UD Carbon Fiber in both the shaft and blade. This unidirectional carbon fiber offers a solid balance of durability and playability, giving players a good feel for the puck.
In the blade Bauer uses MaxBalance technology – a high end feature used in top Bauer sticks like the X4. MaxBalance strategically layers added carbon fiber in the blade for more strength without weighing down the stick, while also reinforcing the edges for increased durability. And true to its name, this technology creates a balanced blade for more consistency when shooting and passing.
Bauer’s Vapor Youth sticks are constructed specifically for young players based on flex and performance needs. The Youth 20-Flex model offers competitive skaters the right flex to help improve their shots because they will have the strength to flex the shaft for more power and accuracy.
