Intro & New Features
Put the future in the palms of your hands. The Bauer Twitch stick is the first stick built with Twitch Taper technology, which is a cutting-edge design that optimizes your stick to flex further and recoil faster than the XE Taper technology. Engineered to supercharge your shot and deliver a fluid-like release, this game changing construction is made specifically for the next generation of goal scorers.
Stick Flex Profile
The Twitch is designed to elevate performance and is optimized with a low kick point. This means that the stick flexes lower, closer to the blade. This design enhances the stick's ability to store and release energy quickly during a shot. When a player loads the stick by flexing it, the energy stored in the lower shaft is rapidly released at the low kick point upon shooting. This results in a swift and explosive shot release, ideal for close-range shots, quick snapshots, and fast-paced gameplay.
Shaft Construction
With the all-new Twitch stick, Bauer continued to use the boron fiber material which is strategically applied in the construction. The ultra-lightweight and rigid boron fiber material is placed throughout the shaft to create a high strength-to-weight ratio, optimize energy storage, and increase reactivity, helping lead to enhanced shooting and passing performance. The curved edges and rounded shaft allow for a more natural grip in the palm of your hand.
The new Twitch Taper Technology is a revolutionary new taper design that begins closer to your bottom hand to load shots sooner and recoil faster, resulting in a more efficient energy transfer and reactive release when compared to the XE taper previously seen on the AG5NT.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
The stiff blade core is an advanced blade construction that combines stiff, ultra-light foam and carbon bridges to bring more pop to your shot.
Graphics
The Bauer Twitch features a reflective, digi-camo graphic, featuring a never-seen-before chrome accents that appear to change color as you move.
Grip
The grip on the Twitch is slightly different from Bauer’s previous low kicks. It is less grippy than most sticks on the market so it can allow for quicker hand transitions, but there is still enough grip to ensure stability and control in your hand. The grip ends a bit higher than it does in other sticks, about a third of the way up the shaft.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Bauer Twitch Junior Hockey Stick - 30 Flex is available in P92 and P28.
P92 is the best 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 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 difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
Selecting the right stick for you.
When it comes to sizing a Hockey Stick, the length tends to be a preference. Sticks come in Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth lengths with corresponding flex options. You will need to consider your weight and height or the person you are buying for in order to choose the correct size. Intermediate, Junior, and Youth hockey sticks will have smaller shaft dimensions, making them easier for young players to hold and control.
A stick can always be cut down in length, and will usually be cut down for kids. However, selecting a hockey stock too long in length or the wrong flex can hinder performance. For kids, junior, intermediate and senior all come in roughly standards length. In some cases, each Junior flex will be a different length of stick. Look at each and compare the height of the player you are buying for.
Flex can be tricky to pick as every hockey player is different and has their own preference. You can think of flex numbers as pounds of force. Having too stiff or too whippy a stick can hinder performance in their own ways.
Personalizing your stick length.
As mentioned before, length is very much personal preference. To determine a benchmark height, stand with your shoes off and the stick against your body with the toe on the ground. As a general rule of thumb we recommend sticks to come up to between your mouth and nose. For kids, or players who are still growing, the maximum height we recommend is eye level.
Mark the shaft of the stick where the height is desired and cut it down to length. Make sure to re-insert the plug from the top to prevent an open composite end at the top of your stick.
When cutting a stick down, keep in mind that the shorter you cut a stick, the stiffer it becomes. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off. If you are unsure how much you want to cut off, take the least amount first so that you can always cut more if necessary. Cutting the stick multiple times will not affect the sticks construction.
Information to Consider
Flex Options
Players want to be able to fully flex the stick. If a stick is too soft, the resulting shot will be inaccurate and weak. If a stick is too stiff, there will be no power behind the shot. Think of the flex number as pounds of force. This is the number of pounds that need to be put into the stick to fully flex it.
Curve Options
In most cases, sticks are offered in multiple blade curve pattern options. Please refer to our blade pattern charts for more information regarding the patterns available.
Kick Point Options
A Mid-kick stick will have a stiffer taper so that it flexes more in the middle of the shaft. These sticks have a longer loading time but offer a more powerful shot, perfect for players taking a lot of slap shots.
A Low-kick stick will have a stiffer middle of the shaft and softer taper so that it flexes at the bottom of the shaft closer to the blade. These sticks will have a much quicker release perfect for quick snap shots and writs shots.
