Bauer PROTO-R Senior Hockey Stick – Innovation Meets Versatility
The Bauer PROTO-R Senior Hockey Stick is designed for elite players who want the perfect balance of power, precision, and deception. Combining the low-kick deception of the AG5NT with the power and versatility of the mid-kick Nexus line, the PROTO-R delivers an advanced shooting experience. Built with boron fibre for lightweight strength, this stick provides a dynamic flex profile while maintaining superior balance and control.
Key Features:
- Hybrid Mid Kick Point: Offers a versatile release for wrist shots, snap shots, and slap shots.
- Boron Fibre Technology: Reduces weight while maximizing shot power.
- Monocomp One-Piece Construction: Enhances energy transfer for explosive shots.
- TeXtreme Carbon Wrap: Delivers exceptional durability and impact resistance.
- Extra Stiff Blade Core: Provides heightened puck feel, responsiveness, and an explosive pop.
Stick Profile – Power & Precision in Every Shot
The mid-kick point is one of the most versatile flex profiles, positioned in the center of the shaft to optimize energy transfer. This design allows players to generate power from both the lower and upper sections of the stick, making it ideal for all shooting styles, including wrist shots, snap shots, and slap shots.
Shaft Construction – Boron Fibre Technology
The PROTO-R integrates boron fibre, the same advanced material used in the AG5NT stick, to enhance shot power while reducing overall weight. The stick also features monocomp one-piece construction, ensuring seamless energy transfer, while the TeXtreme carbon wrap strengthens the shaft and provides superior impact resistance.
Blade Construction – Extra Stiff for Maximum Pop
Designed with an extra stiff blade core, the PROTO-R delivers exceptional responsiveness and recoil, giving players an explosive shot release. This advanced blade technology enhances puck feel, allowing for more precise control and shot execution.
Graphics – Techy, Modern, and Iridescent
Unlike the traditional designs of Bauer’s Nexus and Vapor lines, the PROTO-R features modern, tech-inspired graphics with iridescent colors that shift depending on the light angle. This bold and futuristic design reflects the cutting-edge innovation packed into this elite-level stick.
Grip – Enhanced Comfort & Control
The stick features a soft gloss grip, providing a smooth, tactile feel that ensures excellent control while allowing for quick hand adjustments during play.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The PROTO-R Senior Hockey Stick is available in the following blade patterns:
- P92: A well-rounded mid-curve, great for stickhandling and face-offs but slightly weaker on backhands.
- P88: A classic curve, ideal for controlled wrist shots and snap shots.

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.
