The Bauer 2X Team hockey stick offers elite level low kick point features in a value package with many technologies passed down from higher price points. The new XE taper technology reduces overall weight while dialing in release speed and improving shot stability. At 428 grams, this Vapor stick is incredibly light at this price point.
Stick Flex Profile
The Bauer 2X Team stick has a true low kick profile with XE Taper technology. The softened lower shaft loads and releases incredibly fast. Combined with the stiff Pure Shot blade profile this stick offers a dynamic quick release with massive pop.
Shaft Construction
The 2X Team uses Bauer’s HP mold that optimizes the blade shaft fusing process to achieve that true 1-piece feel and performance. One of Bauer’s most playable and consistent construction methods to date.
Micro Feel II shaft dimensions have double concave side walls and rounded corners for improved puck handling and control.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
The 2X Team stick has the Vapor Pure Shot blade profile that is extra stiff. This helps with creating the quick release performance we expect from a Vapor hockey stick. The MaxBalance construction reinforces the blade edges to reduce weight and improve balance. The Aero Foam I blade core is lightweight and responsive.
Graphics
The 2X Team graphics stand out with the bright two tone design. The bright red Vapor colour scheme stands out and adds some flash to your game.
Grip
The 2X Team stick features the standard Vapor grip finish. About middle of the road tackiness for a solid balance of control and easy lower hand movement.

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.
