Bauer Nexus 2N Pro XL (ADV)
What HockeyStickMan Says
Us stick nerds get a little upset when the 2N Pro XL gets forgotten. It paved the way for almost every Bauer stick you know today, and plenty of NHL players still use this build, just painted to look like the newest model. The XL is a pro-only build, so this is your chance to see what the fuss is about.
Description
Built for players who want a stick that feels like a hockey stick: balanced, predictable, and accurate. If you've tried the ultra-light, aggressively tapered retail sticks and found them too whippy or inconsistent, this is the traditional feel you've been missing.
The mid kick point flexes through the middle of the shaft, giving you a balanced, responsive load whether you're snapping a wrister or leaning into a slapper. That even flex is a big part of why the 2N Pro XL is known for accuracy and puck feel. It doesn't do anything gimmicky, it just does everything well. The XL (Extra Lite) version is a pro-exclusive build, lighter than the original 2N Pro and never released at retail.

How It Compares
The 2N Pro XL sits between our other sticks. The Bauer Vapor Flylite's low kick is built for the quickest release in tight areas, and the CCM Jetspeed FT8 Pro's hybrid kick pairs a quick release with slap shot power. The 2N Pro XL's mid kick is the balanced, traditional option for players who value accuracy, puck feel, and a stick that does the same thing every time.
