New for 2021, the 3rd generation of Vapor goal stick in the modern era brings familiar dampening and feel to a lighter weight package and all-new design. The Bauer Vapor Hyperlite INT Goalie Stick features TEXTREME construction, ACL Paddle Technology and PentaGrip handle, offering you some of the best goalie stick features to date.
Shaft Construction
The shaft of the Hyperlite is made up of a 3k carbon weave. This carbon makeup keeps the stick light and balanced, with improved durability. The Hyperlite also features a shaft that’s 3” shorter which allows for easier puck handling.
Paddle Construction
The paddle of the Hyperlite is made up of Textreme and Advanced Carbon Layering technologies. Textreme and ACL are both familiar Bauer technologies that work together to get a lighter and stronger stick. Advanced Carbon Layering technology is the way that the spread-tow Textreme carbon fiber is constructed. ACL technology uses thinner, stronger internal carbon fiber layers to create a lighter and stronger stick that has an optimized flex profile for playing the puck.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
The blade of the Hyperlite features the familiar Textreme construction, with a new HyperCore construction underneath. Hypercore is a new lightweight blade core that gives the stick a very balanced feel without the typical blade-heaviness.
Graphics
The Hyperlite goal stick features an all-new graphic that allows the colour of the carbon to be the base colour. Moving away from the fully painted Vapor sticks of the past improves overall weight and balance, while giving goalies a modern look. The Hyperlite is available in silver/black, along with all-new red, blue, and black colours that feature coloured Textreme.
Grip
The handle of the Hyperlite features the tacky, textured grip that has been on prior Bauer sticks. However, the Hyperlite utilizes the brand new handle geometry of Pentagrip to further optimize goalies’ grip. As it sounds, Pentagrip is an asymmetrical pentagonal shape of the shaft, only on the front side of where the stick is held. With our hands naturally forming better around less squared-off surfaces, Pentagrip improves the grip of the stick, and gives goalies a better all around feel in the hand.
Blade Patterns, Paddle Lengths, Stick Lengths, Weight, Level of Play
The HyperLite will be offered in 2 intermediate sizes: 23” and 24”. The popular P31 curve will be the only curve offered at the retail level, with more options available at custom. Keeping the same mid-curve DNA, the P31 curve on the Hyperlite has a round toe. This round toe allows for easier puck handling; a similar toe to what is on most player sticks.
