The Bauer Nexus 1000 hockey stick is the premier hockey stick in the Nexus stick line. The Nexus hockey sticks focus on providing a balanced feel and quick, effortless releases with natural power. The Nexus 1000 stick uses all of the top technologies from both the APX and TotalOne sticks making it a top performer.
The Nexus Tru-Mid Flex uses a softer handle and hosel to create more flexion and when combined with a stiffer mid section the Nexus 1000 delivers a quick natural release with power. The Nexus Power Taper offers square double concave walls with a .520 taper to maximize loading with less twisting for more power and better control. The Nexus 1000 stick uses Bauer's Monocomp Technology, a single molding process. By removing any excess materials like over-lapping layers, resin, and foam waste, the balance of the stick is improved and the overall weight is reduced. The Nexus 1000 stick features TeXtreme® which an ultra lightweight but very strong carbon fiber. It is 20% lighter than the conventional carbon but just as strong.
Bauer has provided the Nexus 1000 stick with its Pure Shot Blade profile that expands the throat to increase blade rigidity resulting in a more powerful and more accurate shot. The Nexus 1000 stick also features the Aero Foam II heel for improved balance and stability while the Power Core 3 maximizes power and feel. The Nexus 1000 stick utilized Bauer's eLASTech Technology. This is a proprietary resin system with carbon nanotube reinforcements that reduce the spread of micro-fractures, extending a sticks "pop-life" to keep it feeling newer longer.

Comments: This is the most amazing stick ever!!! I love it love it love it!!!!!! I haven't found a better stick yet! Absolutely no regrets on buying this stick. Amazing, just amazing.
From: Tristan, CO
Comments: This stick is amazing. It's so light and durable. My slap shot clocked at 95 mph with this stick!! Most sticks I break in like 2 months. I've had this one for about 8 months. I love it. Will get this stick again every time I break it, if I break it that is!!! I hope bauer never stops making this stick.
From: Jimmie, CA
Comments: Favorite stick of all time. No better way to put it. It's definitely the lightest stick I've ever encountered and the feel for the puck is amazing. Also the pop is out of this world. I can just effortlessly unload huge slappers or quick snappers and have great results. To me this stick is 10/10. Bauer did an excellent job on this stick.
From: Justyn, New York
Comments: Was not a big fan of Bauer sticks before, but after giving the Nexus a try I am very pleased. This stick is super light and durable so far. The puck flies off the blade and has a very nice flex profile. If you are looking for a light stick with pop and durability, you must try this stick.
From: Everett, Pittsfield, MA
Comments: I Bought this stick has soon has it came out, and was not at all disappointed. The feel of this stick is incredible. Not only does it perform well but it lasted me 5 months which is longer then any other stick. 5 months is a long time for me as I play Midget AAA hockey and am on the ice 6-7 times a week. I would definitely recommend this stick to anyone who just wants a really good stick that's extremely durable compared to the other top of the line sticks.

Comments: Flex: 87 Pattern: PM9 Finish: Grip Aesthetics The stick's basic muted graphics package looks very nice. 9/10 Blade/Stickhandling/Receiving Passes This is one area where I tend to be pretty strict when testing out new sticks. Ever since the Bauer ONE95, I have been spoiled when it comes to the feel of the puck on the blade. The Nexus has a good feel for the puck when stickhandling and receiving passes - not too pingy and not too soft. 8/10 Shaft/Flex The flex profile on the Nexus was something that was new for me and to be honest, it was something that I just couldn't get used to. At times the puck load felt natural, but at other times it felt awkward. This is a very popular profile with the pros, but I would highly recommend buying this stick after trying a stick with a similar flex profile. The shaft walls and corners feel nice in your hands and provide a comfortable experience. 7/10 Shooting This was heavily impacted by the flex profile. There were certainly times where I felt the puck load efficiently, but more often than not I wasn't getting off the shot I was expecting. Again, this is due to me not being used to the kickpoint, I have seen others on my team fire the puck. 7/10 Weight and Balance The weight of the stick was very nice, pretty much on par with many of the newer sticks on the market; it is not too heavy and not too light. What I was really impressed with was the balance of the Nexus. The balance is on par with all of the top end sticks and was not an issue. 9/10 Durability I have had no problems with the durability of the Nexus; it is a true warrior as far as my experience goes. No shaft or blade compromises at all during my use for a month or so. The blade never got soft and maintained it's pop. 9.5/10 Conclusion Overall I would say that the Nexus 1000 is a very good stick, but again, I would HIGHLY recommend you try a stick with a similar flex profile, or just be prepared to expect a learning curve. 8.5/10 player reference: 6'0 / 165lbs / A League (3x/week)
