Be quick like never before with the reimagined HyperLite 2 Stick. Featuring ACL 2.0 technology for optimal carbon layering and weighing 25 grams lighter than the previous HyperLite Stick, the HyperLite 2 Stick is the lightest, most responsive Vapor stick in the game. That means quicker plays, faster shots, and more goals coming off your blade.
Stick Profile
The Vapor series is Bauer’s low-kick stick family, meaning this stick is optimized for quick and explosive shots. The low-kick point is positioned near the bottom of the shaft, allowing players to generate maximum energy transfer from the blade to the puck during snap shots and wrist shots. This design works well for players who prioritize speed in their shooting technique. The lightning-fast release makes the stick ideal for fast-paced gameplay and situations where a quick shot is crucial. The rapid energy transfer allows players to release the puck with minimal windup, catching goaltenders off guard and increasing the chances of scoring goals.
Shaft Construction
The stick weighs an impressive 25g less than its predecessor, tipping the scales at a mere 360g for the Senior version. This cutting-edge technology utilizes even less material while maintaining its durability, ensuring players experience a lightweight, responsive feel with exceptional strength. It also features a monocomp construction, utilizing a single molding process that eliminates unnecessary fusion points, providing a consistent and seamless energy transfer throughout the shaft. The result is a stick that boasts remarkable balance, responsiveness, and power.
Blade Construction
The blade construction of the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 hockey stick features the innovative Hypercore 2 bladecore, which is a revolutionary design to enhance shooting capabilities in nearly all aspects. With a 10% increase in recoil, Hypercore 2 helps players release the puck quickly and with added power, making it ideal for quick-release shots and accurate passes. The blade is also reinforced with Textreme material, which further improves responsiveness and puck feel, enabling players to maintain better control and accuracy during gameplay.
Graphics
The Vapor series is going back to its roots with the new Hyperlite 2 series designs. The Hyperlite 2 is silver near the top, blending into black speed lines and green accents. The “Vapor” logo is black with a red outline, completing the iconic white, red, and green colour scheme of the classic Vapor design.
Grip
The stick uses a glossy grip to enhance your hold on the stick and puckhandling.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Vapor Hyperlite 2 Intermediate stick comes in the following blade patterns: P88, P92, P28, P92M, and P90TM.
P88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.
P92 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. This curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.
P90T is a hybrid of P92 and P28, it has the lie of the P92 and the toe of the P28. Additionally, the curve is a bit taller for more control and power on faceoffs and board battles.
P92M is very similar to the P92, but it is just a bit taller.
P28 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.

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.
