The new Bauer Vapor X900 Lite GripTac ice hockey stick is jam-packed with upgrades and elite-level features, yet somehow manages to weigh in and cost less than last year’s X900. What? For those performance-level skaters on a budget who are accustomed to high-performance gear, the X900 is the stick for you. Micro Feel II shaft for contoured comfort QRT technology for aggressively thin taper and low kick-point Pure Shot blade profile for stability and accuracy Max Balance Technology for lightweight durability BimaX 3K carbon fiber for a strong, lively response Aero Foam I blade core for elite puck feel and durability The X900 features the Vapor line’s Micro Feel II shaft dimensions, with rounded corners and double concave sidewalls for a comfortable, contoured feel in the hands. The stick construction is a fused, two-piece design, upgraded in both the carbon and resin system. Bauer uses a 3K carbon fiber weave in this stick—a weave still used in today’s NHL—that’s 10 percent lighter than a traditional basket weave carbon fiber. Bauer’s R3 resin system boosts the stick’s durability while adding a significant degree of responsiveness. The X900 has an ultra-low kick-point powered by Bauer’s QRT technology, an extremely aggressive taper into the blade that keeps the kick-point low. The stick is very efficient at loading and unloading energy. When you need that quick shot, the X900 will respond immediately—ideal for players looking to shoot as quickly as possible and who generate shot power primarily with their wrists. The Pure Shot blade profile adds significant stability to the blade. The Pure Shot profile includes extra material between the shaft and blade, helping the stick not to open up and twist on big shots. The blade features Bauer’s Max Balance Technology, a strategic fiber orientation that gives the player more durability around the edges but also reduces the blade weight by five grams. The balance point is now a little higher, so the stick feels even lighter in the hands. With the Aero Foam I blade core, skaters will appreciate the great puck feel and superior durability of the X900 Lite. The BimaX 3K carbon fiber in the X900 is more of a twill than a traditional fiber, making the stick stronger and a little livelier. The senior stick weighs 435 grams, which is five grams lighter than last year’s X900. The great thing, though, is the stick actually costs less than last year’s model, pushing the X900 easily to the front of the performance-level options, thanks to the enormous value in this stick for players—the 435-gram weight is even lighter than some of the competitors’ top-line offerings that cost twice as much. Well done, Bauer. Les mer

True’s next generation of X-Series hockey sticks comes in the 2017 ACF line. This type of stick will fall under the precision shooter’s category thanks to patented XCORE technology and complimenting features showcased in the XC5 ACF. For those who are curious the A–C-and F means Accuracy, Control, and Feel. This stick was designed to allow you to seek pinpoint accuracy while maximizing shot velocity, puck control, and puck feel. Here’s the inside scoop into TRUE’s XC5 ACF. Getting right into the stick’s construction, TRUE continued to utilize a high pressure clave molding process which they patented as Axenic Technology. The advantage of using this manufacturing process is that it yields a true one-piece hockey stick which results in very consistent internal walls, shaft shape, and of course a great balance and feel. Working alongside the Axenic Technology, SmartPly Technology optimizes performance, weight, and impact strength. SmartPly tech is a laminate design that is used with up to 25 inner layers of unidirectional carbon fiber; the way the fibers are angled and the order of those angles are what control torsional stiffness and protect from impact damage while maximizing performance and durability. All very impressive technology featured at this price point! The XC5 ACF is composed mainly of a carbon fiber and fiber glass blend which is organized into a 3K weave. This stick has a graduated mid-flex profile for optimal performance and feel in all game situations. Moving down to the blade, we’re going to see the patented XCORE technology. This is a compressible urethane insert embedded into the core of the blade starting in the heel and extending just past the center. This technology will produce an average of 30% more rotational puck spin leading to less flutter shots and more precise and accurate shots. XCORE technology also dampens and cradles the puck during passing and puck handling providing even more control and feel. This is the huge component to what gives the XC5 ACF its accuracy, control and feel. New to the XSERIES of sticks is going to be Braided Rib Technology (BRT) first seen in TRUE’s SBP lineup. These are seamless braided tubes located at the center and bottom of the blade that act as a dual bridge support for the blade core. This tech helps to produce the longest lasting and most consistent blade TRUE has ever made and is up to 50% stronger than its predecessor! Benefits of this modified BRT blade prevent the foam core from breaking down and losing its stiffness which will also help provide its accuracy and precision. The XC5 ACF certainly features an innovative design and proven technology at a fraction of the cost. If you are looking for a stick that will provide (ACF) unmatched accuracy, unmatched puck control, and unmatched feel…TRUE’s XC5 ACF is sure to be the total package at a value cost. Les mer
