Questions and answers
- Which is better for slap shots?
- The CCM. Its hybrid kick point and stiffer 80 flex handle heavier loaded shots better than the Bauer's low-kick 70-flex design.
- Which is better for quick wrist shots?
- The Bauer. Its low kick point near the hosel loads fast and is built for a quick release, which suits offensive forwards.
- Which stick lasts longer?
- CCM states a higher than normal warranty rate for the FT6 Pro. Bauer calls the Vapor League durable but gives no figure, so the CCM has the clearer durability claim.
- Is the CCM worth the extra money?
- Only if you want the stiffer flex and hybrid kick. If you prefer a whippy low-kick stick, the Bauer fits better regardless of price.
- Which flex should I pick?
- Take the 80-flex CCM if you are a strong senior skater. Take the 70-flex Bauer if you are lighter or want an easier-loading stick.
- Which has more curve choices?
- The Bauer. It lists P92 stock plus P28, P88 and P92M, while the CCM comes only in P28.
