The Bauer Vapor 2X Team Stick is perfect for the dynamic player who wants elite performance at an approachable price. Creating one of the quickest and most accurate shot releases in the game is the brand new Bauer XE Elliptical Taper.
The XE's unique, rounded shaft taper improves upon Easton's Elliptical Taper and the previous QRT Taper since it is now lighter, more precise and quicker releasing. It pairs well with the 2X Team's stiff and lively blade that boasts an AeroFoam I core with MaxBalance Technology. The core provides a sensational feel for the puck while MaxBalance creates a lighter blade that doesn't sacrifice strength or durability.
Throughout the shaft, the Bauer 2X Team stick utilizes high-end Unidirectional Carbon Fiber and an exciting HP molding process. These combine to give players a stick that plays and feels like a true, elite-level stick at a fraction of the cost.

Previous Feedback
Comments: My son loves this stick. Upgraded from an old Easton Stealth CX Hyperlight, so he was already used to the elliptical taper. In comparison, this stick has a much larger (but not heavier) blade and a great balanced feel. Very lightweight. The HP molded One-piece technology makes this feel closer to a true one-piece rather than a fused two-piece, it does not feel blade heavy. The 50 flex stick is listed at 360gm (+/- for blade curve), FlyLite is 330. At the pandemic price of $139 vs $219 for the FlyLite the value is in the 2X Team for a Bantam aged player. Pre-pandemic this stick was priced at $119. We purchased the 50 flex P92 RH Grip here on the IW Hockey site. Shipping was free at the time of purchase. PS: we used neon colored Lizard Skin to wrap the stick handle, matches the stick's lesser/minor accent color perfectly on the current 50 flex.

Comments: Just what the description says, it's an elite-level stick, at 1/2 the price of the Flylite. Have previously used the last two iterations of the X900, and already prefer this to them due to the taper, and that true one-piece feel. Exceptional value.
