Bauer MACH vs Hyperlite goal sticks. I've used both and every stick Bauer has launched since 2016. 1S, 1X, 2SPRO, 2XPRO, Ultrasonic, Hyperlite and now MACH. Here is everything Bauer WILL NOT tell you about their sticks and hopefully I can save you a few dollars.

Knowing everything about Bauer, I still ordered two Hyperlite sticks for my son. Warrior sticks lasted easy longer.

It is awesome to see another Full Right goalie!!! My son likes the Hyperlite and the new hyper2lite goalie sticks. He is almost 6'2" at 13 . We use the 23 inch paddle to ensure proper hand positioning when down in a butterfly. He has broken three hyperlite sticks. One of them happened when he smashed his stick over the crossbar last year in Sweden....

the bauer 3x is probably my favorite stick of all time even at the mid level price point. I've taken numerous shots off the shaft and other than a chip or two form the pipes it hasn't shown any wear at $160 USD amazing stick imo.

My 12 year old AAA goalie went through 3 CCM AXIS Pro sticks last season. All in same spot like you said in the shaft. He plays the puck a lot but he's not strong enough to put any flex on it when shooting. It's all been shots off the shaft. Seems excessive, especially for a 12 year old. CCM did not replace any of them, because they were more than 30 days from purchase. I now have him use an AXIS 1.9 for practices and save the Pros fro games. The 1.9 are virtually the same just a few ounces heavier but half the price.

Nice video. I wouldn't say Bauer's marketing is BS. They are listing different features of each stick that go beyond just appearances. I don't know why they have two stick lines, Vapor and Mach. I would say they should have one top-of-the-line stick with all features, and then sell that in 4 different paddle lengths with 3 or 4 different curve options. Maybe, they've pushed the envelope with trying to get the lightest stick too far with the Hyperlite, and they should add more structural rigidity to areas of the stick that break easily in lieu of additional material and weight it adds.

I couldn't afford a new Hyperlite, so I bought a used one. It had been repaired because it snapped at the shaft. So far it's lasted almost 2 seasons with a warranty on the repair zone. That said, I have gone back to my beloved 1S Pro and I'm statring to feel some new flex/softness in the shaft when I play the puck, so I won't be surprised when it eventually breaks, but it's closing in on 3 seasons of use. I do wish the Pentagrip were a standard feature on all top-tier Bauer sticks--that's something truly innovative.
