Power
A Power-Focused Playing Style suits players who thrive on generating strong, top-end speed through forceful and longer strides. They come with a stiffer boot that efficiently transfers energy into the rink for maximum power with every stride.
-
Acceleration
An Acceleration-Focused Playing Style is ideal for players who rely on quick bursts of speed and agile movements to dominate the game. These offer a moderately stiff boot that balances support with mobility. You can swiftly change direction, make sudden moves, and accelerate rapidly with these skates.

The Bauer Nexus Sync Stick brings a whole new meaning of connectedness between your hands and the game. The brand new ConnectTech Blade Technology provides enhanced puck feedback on every single dangle, shot or pass since the rubberized layer in the blade is now extended through the entire shaft.
With elevated puck feel that just feels more connected, the incredible 360 grams (85 flex) construction lets you focus on the game since the stick basically floats in the hands. The Sync uses its most advanced Asymmetrical Carbon Fiber and the Advanced Carbon Layering (ACL) 2.0 to slash weight while providing only the most effective and efficient energy transfer from the stick, to the puck and into the back of the net.
The staple of the Nexus Line has been the effortless release that has taken the market by storm from the pros to retail. The ER Spine Technology is the driver with its five-sided shaft shape that requires less material and makes the Sync easier to load, which makes shooting easier and quicker to do too. To top it off, the bottom hand more naturally wraps around the five-side dimensions for a noticeable improvement in comfort and control.

Specifications
| KEY TECHNOLOGIES | |
|---|---|
| ConnectTech Blade Technology The responsive rubber layer in the blade of previous Nexus sticks gave players puck feel that no other stick had before. With the material now extended throughout the entire stick, the connectedness between the hands and the puck has never been closer or more dialed in. | |
| Optimized, Asymmetrical TeXtreme Carbon Fiber With their most advanced material, they further improve the impact durability by reinforcing key areas targeted during intense R&D. | |
| Advanced Carbon Layering (ACL) 2.0 The new carbon fiber allows Bauer to create even thinner layers than ever. Through more strategic arrangements of these fibers, the Nexus Sync is lighter and more efficient at transferring energy without comprising strength. |

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL STICK FLEX AND SIZING RECOMMENDATION | |
|---|---|
| We recommend choosing the hockey stick flex that puts your specific height and weight at the middlemost point in both categories. A common rule of thumb is to select a flex rating by dividing your body weight in two and subtracting another 10-15 flex points. See the flex chart and articles below for more detailed information on sizing and selecting hockey sticks. |
