The Bauer Supreme Shadow Goalie Stick is an elite-level stick that displays only the best from Bauer. It's been prepper with Bauer's latest technology to give you that extra edge you need to get ahead of the game, with the new Ergobridge Spine technology, a Textreme weave construction with ACL technology, and an Expancel Bridge Core.
Shaft Construction
The shaft is constructed primarily of a unidirectional carbon fibre weave. UD carbon is a common and reliable weave option for goalie and player hockey sticks, as it allows the stick to be tough while also keeping it very lightweight.
Paddle Construction
Bauer continues to stick to a TeXtreme weave construction coupled with Advanced Carbon Layering technology in their highest-end gear. ACL tech has been used consistently in blade and paddle builds from Bauer due to its use of thinner carbon layers and optimized carbon fibre placement. TeXtreme is about 20% more durable compared to other carbon fibre materials, and it is also incredibly lightweight.
This goalie stick also comes with a steep paddle, which provides a more secure and comfortable grip, potentially improving hand strength and allowing for more positioning options, which can lead to better puck control. This design allows the paddle to fit better in the goalie's hand.
Blade Construction & Stiffness
The paddle's new Ergobridge technology now extends across the blade to further enhance torsion control at the blade as well. For greater durability in the blade against impact force, Bauer implemented an Expancel Bridge core. Expancel is designed to enlarge and contract depending on the situation in order to reach that desired durability.
Grip
Grip Tac is the type of grip that Bauer uses for many of their highest-end sticks. It ensures a great feel at the paddle and shaft while helping you have a strong hold on te stick when you need it.
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.
