Strike from the shadows. Inspired by the performance formula of its predecessor, the Proto2 features an elite mid-kick construction that will keep goaltenders up at night. This enhanced design allows you to lean into your shot while helping deliver the control you need to fire the puck with precision.

When buying a new hockey stick, it’s important to consider several key factors to find the right fit for your skill level and playing style. One of the most important is the kick-point, which can significantly impact your shot and on-ice performance. If you're unsure which kick-point is right for you, or want a personalized recommendation, stop by your local Pure Hockey for expert guidance.

Bauer enhanced the Proto2 stick by building on the success of the Nexus line and introducing advanced features and technologies, while maintaining the same lightweight design as the previous generation Proto-R. With the mid-kick design, the Proto2 is designed for players who shoot from anywhere on the ice, offering exceptional versatility in one of the lightest mid-kick sticks on the market.

The Proto2 stick features a dark, sleek design with eye popping graphics, a standard taper and a construction that is replicated after the trusted Nexus 2N pro stick, which is very popular among NHL players.

In the shaft, working hand in hand is the Asymmetrical Textreme and Advanced Carbon Layering 2.0. Textreme is Bauer’s top of the line carbon fiber and ACL 2.0 processes that carbon fiber into thinner layers laid out in multiple directions to reduce weight. In addition, Bauer added an extra carbon layer in the shaft to address some durability issues.

Passed down from the Proto-R and first seen in the AG5NT, is the use of the element Boron. What makes boron so unique for a hockey stick is that it has two times the compression strength and two times the stiffness compared to the best carbon fiber in the world. In addition, Bauer has the exclusive partnership to be able to take boron, which comes in a powder form, and creates it into a fiber, so you can utilize it in a hockey stick.

Bauer strategically placed this material on the back part of the shaft to reduce the weight without doing anything to the durability of the product. You're going to be able to lean into this stick with those shots, and that compression strength is going to allow you to load those shots and release it faster than ever before. The added stiffness in the stick does not refer to the flex, it means that a stronger material is being used.

The newest technology found in this stick is the Proto2 blade core. It features dual bridges fused into new foam material. This material weighs less but will maintain the same stiffness as the original Proto-R. Bauer took the weight savings and placed it back into the upper section of the shaft for a better-balanced stick.
