Bauer Nexus 2N Pro Griptac Intermediate Hockey Stick
The Bauer Nexus 2N Pro Stickis not only the lightest and longest-lasting Nexus stick to-date, Bauer improved its slap shot release by 15% and its wrist/snap shot release by 12% too. This was possible with exciting new technologies that include the R-LITE Blade Core, ACL Technology and a new Duraflex Resin system.
The blade boasts the biggest upgrades over the previous 1N. The 2N Pro debuts a new R-LITE Blade Core that is by far the most popular construction in the NHL today. Based off of the 1X LITE, the R-LITE option is significantly lighter and stiffer than before but the 2N Pro features a fiber reinforced dampening layer for ultimate puck control. Bauer also used ACL Technology (Advanced Carbon Layering) that reduces weight without sacrificing durability by using thinner, more strategically placed carbon layers.

Construction:
- Lightweight TeXtreme® Carbon Fiber
- TeXtreme® is 20% lighter and manages impact stresses 20% better than traditional carbon fiber
- Monocomp Technology
- True one-piece compression molding process, eliminates "fusion" or connection point between shaft and blade
- Gives players an unreal responsive and consistent feel from top to bottom
- Best process available for a lightweight and balanced hockey stick
- Duraflex Resin
- Next-generation shaft resin that focuses on handling stresses from impacts and flex
- Provides better durability causing by continually bowing out the stick as players trend down in flex rating
-
Geometry:
- Traditional - Rounded Corners and Slightly Concave Sidewalls
-
Flex Profile:
- Nexus Mid-Kick Point with Sweet Spot Technology
- Ideal for players looking for a powerful, effortless release
- Strategically re-engineered carbon fiber allows for easier loading and smoother energy transfer
- Easy to Load Taper
- A secondary taper is engineered along the top & bottom of the shaft
- Increases puck control and shot accuracy due to improved strength and torsional resistance
-
Grip:
- Griptac (grip) stick coating
-
Blade:
- ACL (Advanced Carbon Layering) Technology
- 13% thinner internal carbon layers with more fiber angles reduced weight by 7 grams (7%) which resulted in an 15% faster slap shot release and a 12% faster wrist shot release
- Advanced design technique with an optimized fiber placement increases durability and strength-to-weight ratios
- eLASTech Technology
- Proprietary resin with carbon nanotubes reinforcements and tougheners that provide a 56% increase in strength compared to standard resin
- Extends the life of the stick by helping to keep micro-fractures from growing and spreading
- R-LITE Blade Core with TeXtreme Carbon Fiber
- Based off the 1X LITE, the R-LITE core utilizes featherlight foam that reduces weight without sacrificing strength and durability
- Fiber-reinforced rubberized dampening layer provides enhanced puck feel and control
-
Flex: 55 & 65
