Following in the footsteps of the original model, the APX 2 stick carries on Bauer"s tradition of excellence and quality. Bauer"s original APX featured Intelli-Sense shot technology and flexes based on the position of your hands. The APX 2 stick continues to utilize this technology, while also making improvements in other areas. The Micro Feel Shaft makes for a comfortable handling feel, while the previously mentioned Intelli-Sense Technology caters to wherever and however you are releasing the puck. Along with older features such as Bauer"s Monocomp, TeXtreme, and eLASTech technologies, Bauer"s new Aero-Sense blade core limits weight, and improves the overall balance of the stickFeatures:Micro-Feel II Shaft:Rounded corners and double concave shaft walls allow the shaft to fit comfortably in your hands. The result is easier puck handling and superior control.Intelli-Sense Shot Technology:Bauer"s design of two, dual flex zones for maximized performance benefits. A low flex point provides a quick release and accuracy, and a second, higher flex point delivers powerful slap shots.Vapor Premium Dual Taper:The combination of the Micro-Feel II shaft and secondary tapers along the top and bottom surfaces mean decreased torsional deflection for increased puck control and accuracy upon release.Aero-Sense Core:This NEW FEATURE is designed with Bauer"s improved Aero Foam 3 blade technology and a unique energy absorption element to enhance the stick"s playability and performance. This complex combination is lightweight, improving the overall balance of the stick while maintaining torsional stability for a strong, quick release, with increased vibration dampening properties that improve puck feel upon pass reception, as well as when stick handling.
