The Bauer Vapor X2.7 hockey stick is flashy low kick stick that is one of the lightest in the industry at this price point. At 455 grams, the X2.7 is a terrific value that not only performs at a competitive level but has awesome graphics to boot. The weight reduction was achieved by reinforcing the perimeter of the blade to allow for lighter materials in the core. This reduced the overall weight of the stick without sacrificing performance or durability.
Stick Flex Profile
The X2.7 is built with QRT technology and features a true low kick flex profile. QRT is a carryover Vapor technology previously seen in higher price points that provides a dynamic quick release to get the puck off your blade as quick as possible.
Shaft Construction
The X2.7 is built with unidirectional carbon fiber and features Bauer’s Micro Feel II shaft dimensions. Essentially rounded corners and double concave side walls for a comfortable feel in your hands.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
MaxBalance blade technology creates a stiff blade feel standard with all Vapor low kick sticks. The stiff blade maximizes pop for the quickest release possible. The MaxBalance blade has a reinforced edge which reduced the weight of the core and improves balance. The core is Vapor’s Aero Foam I and the stiffness profile is Pure Shot (extra stiff.)
Graphics
The Vapor family went bold this season with lots of colour pops and bright highlights. The X2.7 is sure to catch your attention.
Grip
The X2.7 hockey stick has a clear tacky finish. The tackiness is standard with what we’ve seen from previous Vapor models.

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.
