BAUER Vapor 1X Comp Hockey Stick- Sr '15 BAUER Vapor 1X Comp Hockey Stick Senior - 102 Fl - Right - P92 OVECHKIN/BACKSTROM Bauer is consistently modifying and developing their stick technologies, looking for any way to improve performance. The Bauer 1X stick is the newest stick of their Vapor line and you will see that Bauer has updated the design several ways. The first and most obvious upgrade is Bauer's new Quick Release Taper Technology (QRT) which is a different look from year's passed. This taper from Bauer is aggressive to increase your shot quickness, giving you the ability to get off a wrist, snap, or even quick slapper with little effort. Bauer's Aero Sense 2 Blade is featured on the 1X, and this Sense Layer is fused to the actual TeXtreme composite of the blade to eliminate materials and lighten the weight of the bled Just like in previous Vapor sticks, the 1X will feature Bauer's Pure Shot Blade Profile which describes the thickened hosel area that is meant to give your shots more support by eliminating the torsional rotation of the blade during a shot.
