Best Price Promise
The Bauer Supreme 2S Senior goal stick brings many pro features and a pro look down to a mid-range price point. Through the use of an upgraded construction and materials, the Bauer 2S is a great value option for the high level goaltender.
A silver carbon glass weave is used throughout the entirety of the paddle and blade of the Bauer Supreme 2S. This unique carbon weave resembles that of top-end Bauer goal sticks in the past, and allows the 2S to be lightweight and durable. The 2S Senior also features Ergo paddle geometry, which refers to the way the paddle is designed. A slight concave on the front of the paddle reduces the chance of pucks skipping over compared to traditional paddle dimensions. The back of the paddle is slightly rounded, which allows the stick to easily be brought tight to the body when making saves in close.
A carbon composite shaft is used on the Bauer 2S. A carbon composite construction creates a lightweight, yet durable shaft.
More goalies every year make the switch to composite goal sticks; one of the main reasons for the switch is the ''pop'' and consistency off the blade. The Bauer Supreme 2S Senior features a full carbon-woven blade, which keeps a consistent feel and allows for a lively blade for rebound control.
With the growing popularity of composite sticks amongst goalies, the Supreme 2S Senior is able to bridge the gap of weight, durability, and value. For the high level goalie looking for pro features at a more reasonable price, the 2S Senior is an excellent option.
Goalie Stick Sizing Information
Unlike other pieces of gear, Goalie Sticks are sized mostly to the goaltender’s preference and playing style rather than their height. The most important measurement, when purchasing a new goal stick, is the paddle height (the wide portion of the stick), which is usually taken from the heel of the stick to the shaft/paddle interface. The reason for the paddle height’s significance is because it sets up the goaltender’s depth in the ready stance and (if properly sized) positions the blocker in an optimal position.
Sizing Your Goalie Stick
To start analyzing the size of your goalie stick, put on your goalie skates to get an accurate height of where you will be in your stance. If you’re looking to be even more accurate, strap on your goalie pads and blocker as well. Once that is done, get comfortable in your natural stance (the one you’d be in during a majority of gameplay) and look for the following:
1. The entire blade of the stick is flush with the ground while being 1’ - 2’ in front of your feet
2. After getting your stick into the flush position, check that the inside edge of the blocker hand sits on the outside edge of the goal pad (this is while holding just above the paddle).
Goalie Stick Sizing Considerations
Goalie Stick sizing can be very subjective compared to other pieces of equipment. The reason for this is the ambiguity of each goaltenders ‘natural stance’, especially with younger goaltenders. It is rather common for children to use taller sticks in comparison to their height, as their stance depth isn’t usually as aggressive as a seasoned goalie.
The shaft length of a goalie stick is usually best left at its stock length, as it serves to counteract the weight of the blade and ideally place the center of gravity at the top of the paddle. The one exception to this rule is for advanced puck handlers, cutting the shaft will allow more power transfer when shooting as a result of being able to keep the blade flush to the ice while near the goaltender’s feet.
