The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro Senior goal stick builds off the well-liked features from the popular Supreme 1S goal stick, while elevating it to a new level of weight and performance. Through new materials and innovations in both the paddle and shaft, the Bauer 2S pro stick sets a new standard for goal sticks.
Textreme technology is used throughout the entire paddle and blade of the Supreme 2S Pro goalie stick. Found on Bauer's high end player sticks, Textreme is a woven carbon fiber that is significantly lighter, yet stronger than similar carbon composites.
On the back of the 2S Pro paddle, an innovative Ergo Spine is used, which effectively gets rid of excess material along the edges of the paddle that were previously hollow. While keeping the same durability, the Ergo spine technology allows the 2S Pro to have exceptional balance and a 10% weight reduction from the previous 1S stick.
A common breaking point amongst composite goal sticks is in the shaft. The 2S Pro goal stick features a full 12K carbon reinforced shaft, which greatly improves durability and reduces weight over conventional carbon composites.
When talking sticks, foam cores always come into the conversation when talking about puck feel. For optimal puck feel, Bauer has continued using their top of the line Aero-Foam 3 blade. The blade of the 2S Pro has excellent puck feel because of the Aero-Foam 3, while keeping that consistent ''pop'' that makes composites increasingly popular year after year.
The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro goalie hockey stick provides a new level of performance to the high-end category. Top of the line weight and performance make the 2S Pro an excellent option for the elite goaltender in the market for a new stick.
Goalie Stick Sizing Information
Unlike other pieces of gear, Goalie Sticks are sized mostly to the goaltender’s preference and playing style rather than their height. The most important measurement, when purchasing a new goal stick, is the paddle height (the wide portion of the stick), which is usually taken from the heel of the stick to the shaft/paddle interface. The reason for the paddle height’s significance is because it sets up the goaltender’s depth in the ready stance and (if properly sized) positions the blocker in an optimal position.
Sizing Your Goalie Stick
To start analyzing the size of your goalie stick, put on your goalie skates to get an accurate height of where you will be in your stance. If you’re looking to be even more accurate, strap on your goalie pads and blocker as well. Once that is done, get comfortable in your natural stance (the one you’d be in during a majority of gameplay) and look for the following:
1. The entire blade of the stick is flush with the ground while being 1’ - 2’ in front of your feet
2. After getting your stick into the flush position, check that the inside edge of the blocker hand sits on the outside edge of the goal pad (this is while holding just above the paddle).
Goalie Stick Sizing Considerations
Goalie Stick sizing can be very subjective compared to other pieces of equipment. The reason for this is the ambiguity of each goaltenders ‘natural stance’, especially with younger goaltenders. It is rather common for children to use taller sticks in comparison to their height, as their stance depth isn’t usually as aggressive as a seasoned goalie.
The shaft length of a goalie stick is usually best left at its stock length, as it serves to counteract the weight of the blade and ideally place the center of gravity at the top of the paddle. The one exception to this rule is for advanced puck handlers, cutting the shaft will allow more power transfer when shooting as a result of being able to keep the blade flush to the ice while near the goaltender’s feet.
